This is a beautiful representation and ode to the cacophony that we can awaken to. Bombing in the war years was a sober reminder of manmade sounds at their worst. The nature, by comparison, similar sounding, yet truly beautiful!

Hi Donna -
I like the ideas you set forth with in this poem and thank you for mentioning me in your notes. I'm including the full description of this form and an example by the lady who created it, too. If you look at your refrain lines, it is just talking about the first four syllables in the stanza and the last four syllables of the stanza being the same. Check out her example. :)
Keep up the good work!

The Wrapped Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of 2 or more stanzas of 6 lines each; Meter: 8,8,8,8,12,12 and Rhyme Scheme: a,a,b,b,c,c.
Refrain rule: In each stanza the first 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) in the first line must be the last 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) at the end of the last line. This is what wraps each stanza with a repeated refrain ...thus, the Wrapped Refrain.
Optional: The first stanza refrain and last stanza refrain can be joined (or loosely joined) together for the title of the poem.
Example #1:
Let's Steal Away to Meet Again
Let's steal away to some place cool,
with rivulets that foam and pool
beneath a wooded, shady shore
that frames the rocks with sycamore.
The afternoon has just begun; without delay,
let's meet beneath the shaded sun...let's steal away.
Let's meet again where once we knew
the buttercups with golden dew;
we scurried to our hidden spot
where I recall forget-me-not.
And, we shall have the promised dreams that we did then,
as we revisit hideaways...let's meet again.

Ah, this one made me envious. Wanted to be at that beach with my toes in the sand. Great picture and coloring to add to the lure of the poet's words, beckoning us out to nature.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I loved the form and the sentiments here, the dawning of creation with birds and squirrels doing their own thing and enjoying life and how man will seek to destroy life, they are often at our mercy, a poignant write, love Dolly x

I agree, there is something about hearing the sounds of nature the first thing in the morning or at night when I go to bed either with my window open or under the stars, it's truly amazing. I don't like listening to the coyotes celebrating their dinner though. . .I always reach for my cat to make sure she is in for the night. Well written and the pic of the beach is lovely. It is fun at the ocean side to feel the ocean spray, it's like dew drops from heaven.

I think I didn't quite get that this was a decision made by her father. . .now that's pretty sad. I am in awe of a nuns life but if it wasn't your choice, it simply should not have happened.
