conachlonn, a new form for me - I like it :-)
the chain effect of the rhyme scheme is really beautiful, especially when read aloud
good alliteration in broader/brook/British
and in demanding daughter
and in try to teach truths
a thoughtful poem about the creative poetic process :-) Brooke

Thank you Broofpke. Surprised your not familiar with the format. I learned it from a review of mrsmajor's poem. Thought I'd try it.

This is a cool poem I like the first line 'touch gently now the sprite of my soul' and the last line 'deny me not the wizards magic touch' thank you for sharing

Hi Tom,
Nice Conachlon and took me some time to figure out the rules of the poem using the first stanza, LOL. I got it and this is a great write.
Our muse had a clear message to us, write to amuse and not unkind words that hurt others. Play with me in a clean game, no trickery and betrayal. Write is a gift to be treasured not abused nor be too critical.
Good write and well done.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

Comment from Rondeno
The poem is great, and I love the Conachlonn format. My favorite line? "Cruel Muse, you're such a demanding daughter"! Very, very good.

Comment from CR Delport
To be inspired by nature is something for every writer, probably because there is so much beauty and raw power in nature. Fascinating stuff. NIce poem.

Comment from Glasstruth
Like the title and the whole idea of this poem. Never heard of a Conachlonn poem; and reading your author notes I see what a great art form this is. I think you've accomplished as wrote, "Goal to unleash poetic energy." Superb! Les

Like your conachlonn. It definitely has an Irish feel. Just hope readers actually do their job and read the author notes. Without them, " broader brook than the reach of the British" seems too specific and out of place. Don't get me wrong, it needs to be in the poem. Just think it might throw lazy reviewers.

A very beautiful poem. I love the beautiful photo of fall that accompanies your poem. I, too am a lover of nature. I love the Irish form of chain verse. This poem and rhyming words flow beautifully. I loved it! Sara :)

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Tom did it. Doesn't matter the near rhymes for the fist time you ever did it. It is close enough for me. LOL

Comment from Quillian
First of all thanks for the introduction to a Conachlonn poem. I love the cadence it gives. The line "you're such a demanding daughter" was electric to me. I also loved 'deny me not the wizard's touch' because she IS an elusive and mischievous sprite. I think she will be well pleased with your message,suitably draped in purple.
