Congratulations on the poem style, it appears you nailed it :-) I enjoyed the flow of the words and the meaning of getting away, from crowds and into places of solitude. Your photo is perfect. Great job, Carolyn

Your well-written poem vividly conveys the mindset of one who wishes to transcend his mundane surroundings and experience something higher, nobler.

I asked Lisa to explain this form to me, and she said I had to ask someone else, but here I see it all explained for me, so thank you for that!
Sounds like a modified quatern in ways, and your words make a great go of it in keeping the message tight and easily understandable.
Might have to give it a go.
Well done,
Curt

I'm still floored that my little 'project' with "Silent Regret" has somehow spawned an entirely new style/form of poem...

Having said that, I feel like both Richie's and your poem both outshine mine, if only because you intentionally created the poems to fit my 'format'.

Your repetitions flow into one another so smoothly that it's hard to detect at first, and it's lovely that there's this gradual ascension happening as you 'climb' up (or rather, read down) the poem.

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

    Thank you, you created a lovely format that was interesting and fun to write. I found the key is selecting the key phrases, to make sure hey stand on their own within the conceptual theme. Way to go you pioneer poetess.!

    I still firmly maintain that I wasn't trying to pioneer or innovate a thing! Merely to step out of my comfort zone and try something different. :)

I do enjoy the repeat lines. They make for a lovely rhythm and adds extra
interest to your already beautifully written verse. Billowing is such a poetic word and is clearly enhanced by your beautiful picture. Great display. Robin :)

Aloha Treiscel,
This form is new to me. You sure created a beautiful poem that Lifted me into the painted sky, among billowing clouds. The color and photo works so well. Thank you for sharing.

"Away from loud annoying crowds
To meditate in solitude
My fears released, then peace ensued
Adrift among billowing clouds"
Your work is very moving. Made me pause several times. I love the last stanza. Good presentation.
