You did a great job with your club challenge poem, June. Your image choice is perfect to pair with your well thought out words. Great job with the complex style. You give readers some great advice. We all need time to decompress.
Respectfully, Jan

I really like this poem. It has interesting rhyme scheme and excellent imagery. Further more, which one of us hasn't felt such a need for a time out like you suggest. The world seems to make endless demands on us and now and then, just hitting pause is what is needed to rejuvenate. The picture is perfect for it. Really enjoyable.

Here you go with another format. To me, this one is interesting because of the long-short nature of the lines. I do not have a natural instinct when it comes to alternating the length of the lines in the stanza. I usually take the easy route and keep every line the same. I like this format though. It gives the reader a break and gives some closure to points that you are making.
This is a good poem. Well done.

    The format can feel awkward in the beginning, but once you get going it flows pretty easily. We do need to take a step back now and then to get refreshed these days. Glad you enjoyed this.

Don't mind if I do. Some tea would be just the thing right about now.

I like this form, and what you have done with it, is perfect, June. :))

A very nicely and well written post of taking a little time out of a busy moment. Taking a break, spending the time with ourselves with a good cub of tea. Thanks so much for sharing. R56ma3 Susan C.

What great advice, I know when I have received one negative review and 99 good ones, the tendency is to stress over that one negative, but with the social media out there, and the vultures lurking, a beautifully written form, and your skill is always worth emancipating June, well done, blessings Roy

First time I have heard of this type of poem - rime Couee. Yours is well written, good rhyming and gives us some good advice: "No need to stress o'er what's not done.
Allow yourself to have some fun."

Life can be a juggling act and taking stock and drinking a cup of tea tends to slow time down as we connect with ourselves and others and realise what is important in life, much enjoyed, fine form, well executed June, love Dolly x
