The tug of how love felt unfortunately didnt quite see the light of day in your well written Nocturne poem JLR. Your central lines work well as a separate poem too. Nicely done, cheers valda

This nocturna, Night Vision, has the proper formatting and tells of this vision that became a emotional release that had to end with the coming of a new day. Striking.

Night Vision

Hello my friend

Nice entry for the Nocturna Potlatch Poetry Club challenge. It sounds lovely when I read it out loud. Interesting presentation.

    I found this, my first Nocturna quite a project to tackle, thank you for your validation.

What a beautiful picture and what a beautiful poem. I think all the technicalities of what kind of poem it is goes right over my head, so all I can say is that I absolutely love it!

A very well-written Nocturna poem about te beautiful girl you met one night was the best thing that ever happened to you, the connection was electrifying but when the sun comes out the goddess seems to disappeared.

The next to the last line seems off, but maybe that is the way I am reading it. This form is new to me and mine was not so good. I do love the image you created with the wording and the form is good according to the rules

    Barb I think you maybe correct, I downsized it. This poetic style is most challenging for certain. I?ll be reading yours today.

It sounds like a beautiful fantasy dream - the narrator fell in love with a star and in daylight, the star "melted" away. Great job using the nocturna form for this romantic night-time encounter.

This is an excellent post Jim, you have followed the form perfectly, this is a form similar to the Constanza and the villanelle. Beautifully written my friend, you've done a great job, blessings, Roy

    I am very grateful for the validation on new poetic style I tackled. Words are such an amazing resource, so rich to be able to create pictures and yet subtle enough to create mystery.

Dear JLR, I enjoy reviewing when your "Potlatch Club" sends a challenge to it's members.
You successfully got the rhymes in the right places, but the one in the last stanza was a little rough, not because of the rhyme, but because of the three preceding words.
If I would suggest anything, it would only be to replace
"her whole self melt." look at your other reviews to see if anyone else was jarred by that bit.
