And a day well spent I would say, watching nature. A lovely read, your Roundabout poem, as the birds, the sqirrels and those hardworking ants get on with their business. Nice one Yvonne, cheers valda

You always make each new potlatch challenge form look so easy! And I love your nature poems. This one flows and I smiled at the "with lunch purloined," and then the squirrels got into stealing seeds and the ants benefitted. You make these observations so much fun!

I liked this Roundabout poem, Yvonne. I loved the concept you used in your words. You relied on the creations of nature, a great idea. Very well done. I enjoyed it.

    Thank you. I'm a nature nut, and write a lot about it, to the point of boring everyone. lol.

What a nature lover you are. :) Here I am trying to keep those crawling critters away from the house and you spend time enjoying their work. :) These is a good club entry. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Yvonne, oh liked this poem a lot. As you know I don't know a thing about meter or any of that. But I liked the imagery and rhythm of your poem. Ulla:)))

This poem is lovely and sparks the inner child in me. The author's words
are interesting, uplifting and creative. I found these words inspiring and
thinking about nature. The artwork is great and compliments both
the theme and words of this poem. Hope you are doing well! Maria

What lovely scenes you show in your Roundabout poem. It's a form with a whimsical rhythm and you've integrated the repeats with great skill to make the most of their impact.

This is a cute poem written in Roundabout poetry formation, that I am not familiar with, but seems to be an easy flowing form to use as in this poem. I, myself, am impressed with how this sweet poem played out. Thanks for sharing.
