I wish to be a bird sitting high on the birch tree seeing the sights that you brought forward in your poem, Melissa. This is a very profound free verse poem. I see, I feel and I like. :) This is a good entry for the Free Verse Poetry Contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written free verse poem about the beautiful things in nature that can move us emotionally in many ways but nature never moves or change the way we are created to be.

Loved your free verse version of a sonnet, Melissa. You develop the idea of things that we see and hear that move and change us. Then you conclude how they remain the same while we are changed!

Hope this free verse does not break rules by resembling a sonnet. I have difficultly wrapping my mind around FV. Thanks so much, Helen.

I think if it has meter but no rhyme, it's called blank verse. You can just call yours blank verse.
Comment from Joan E.
Thank you for reminding us to recollect those moments that affected "us profoundly" and changed us. The artwork you selected resonated for me and I reminisce about my last trip to Yosemite. Big cheers and best wishes in the Free Verse Contest- Joan

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your poem is beautiful, well-written, and thought-provoking. Your theme is vividly conveyed. Yes, God gave us those beauties in nature to affect us profoundly--and to continue fulfilling the purpose God gave them.

Comment from juliaSjames
You present an interesting viewpoint in your philosophical free verse. The poem is well constructed with effective imagery, held together by the refrain.
Indeed we are changed by the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
In the final stanza did you mean "affect us profoundly"?
A limpid, eloquent write. Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you, Julia... yes, I meant affect us.... autocorrect again, ugh. I will dash over to edit. Thanks again.

Auto correct has its plus side but one has to be extra vigilant or else ... especially in emails and texting
Comment from Mistydawn
This is a very thought-provoking poem. Well-written, very interesting. I never thought of it like that but it's true. Everything we've seen, smelled, experienced has shaped us into what we are somehow. It might have seemed insignificant at the time but it was all part of the grand scheme of things. Makes you wonder how that same hillside, waterfall, the song changed someone else life.

So true, those ..aha.. moments change us, even though they stay the same.
Thank you.

Comment from June Sargent
Profound and beautiful piece. I never looked at it that way - we change - these moving moments are engraved forever on our hearts and minds. And never change. But, we do - and hopefully for the better. Great artwork to accompany these words of wisdom.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Melissa, this is a beautiful free verse and a worthy entry to the contest. I love the wording, and the stanza three resonates with me, absolutely. I cannot listen to the Rachmaninoff variations on a theme of Paganini, variation 18, without not just a few tears - it actually makes me cry. Music does so rouse past memories. It's the greatest art form in my opinions. Great writing and great choice of picture. Good Luck in the contest. Dorothy x

Hello Dorothy. I cry when I hear a certain Adiago because it is so beautifully orchestrated... the Sevielle Symphony with John Williams as the classical guitarist. Music is very powerful!! Thank you.
