I enjoyed reading your poem. Poetry is not my forte, but I know what I like. God bless you for keeping all the rules of this poem. Your words took me into the woods on a moonlit night. I do not see any room for improvement.

Wow this seems like a hard challenge with all those repeated lines, but yours works well Yvonne. It flows nicely and sets a tranquil night scene. Love the artwork,
cheers,

The author's words are calming and serene. I thought about the author's
words on quietness and identified with these words. As for me I find
God in the silence. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is
perfect and compliments the theme and words of this poem.

An interesting piece which only just avoids becoming a little repetitive, but I know that is the point by reading the prompt notes. I worry that the constraints of the form sometimes hamper the writer, but you certainly make some thoughtful points with effective metaphor.

That's an excellent response to the prompt. I enjoyed it a lot and you have met the requirements. The tone is happy, the flow, metre and rhyme are all just right. Well done.

This sounds like a wonderful stroll through the moonlight. You've done a great job with this form. The refrain words add to the message and set a nice pace for the stroll the character is taking.

How interesting, Yvonne. This new form (at least new to me) did have a rolling feel to it. Well done and so clever and creative. I enjoyed reading it. :)

What a challenging form! My eyes crossed trying to figure out the rules of repetition. I did like your meter and the feeling embracing the nighttime ambiance with the stars and moon.

    I don't think I will try. Too busy! Heading to our new location tomorrow! Perhaps Patch will write a complaint soon.

Thank you for sharing this rhyming club entry with us. This poem is definitely rhyming and none of them are forced. This was a fun poem to read. A stary moonlight night is a fun thing to write about.

That's an an amazing form, Yvonne. I liked it very much and you seem to master with no effort.. Of course, I've never heard about the form, but that is not so strange as you well know. Ulla:)))
