This poem, Stirring Up Visions, leads the readers to the seaside where the winds and waves form the visions of a lady in the swirling tumult of surf and sand.

I really like the poem and the ocean sound effects are great. This is an interesting construction of which I was not familiar. I did look up some examples to understand what I am looking for when I read it. Your poem meets all requirements and I enjoyed it very much. Great artwork too!

    I read your reworked Zeno poem and revised my review to reflect the changes. Nice job!

Wouldn't that be wonderful Jim? To actually see one of the people we thought were myths, actually reveal themselves, I think ancient mariners actually did see them. Or so they thought. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

and here I thought I alone have a demented mind and then I find in your notes J. Patrick Lewis's creation (Zeno) broken down to being 8/4/2/1/4/2/1/4/2/1 with a Rhyme scheme of abcdefdghd. Maybe we are related. And then I muse, you may be too for being trapped into writing one. j,k,

I like this but I am unsure why you chose to use French in the final line. There seemed to be no suggestion of French before and so it just seems a choice made to rhyme and not a natural choice.

Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. I don't understand poetic form so I really can't comment on that. But I did enjoy reading this entry and I enjoyed the artwork.

While
many thoughts twirl <-- this should be on one line


other than that, this was a great zeno
the ocean can be very calming and hypnotic
and a soothing source of inspiration

nice work with nice imagery and smooth flow
thank you for sharing
shelley :)

I'm a bit confused by this zeno verse because your syllables don't quite fufil the prompt: The first 4 lines - fine; 5th line should be 4, 6th line - 2, 7th line - 1, 8th line - 4. Lines 9 and 10 are fine. Then the 4th and 10th are supposed to rhyme which is a bit of a stretch if you pronounce fille in french. That said the visual is beautiful and I think your poetry evocatively complements the scene. Thanks for sharing. Debbie

    No one will notice. I had to keep counting a few times and I'm plain sad!
