Comment from Patrick G Cox
Hi Brooke,
A very interesting form for a poem, one that looks familiar yet obviously isn't. Nice rhythm to it and a good set of mental images in the stanzas.
It works very well.

Comment from amahra
surcease?Wow I've learned a new word. I'll look it up later. Nothing cuter to say about the lovely baby so on with the poem. The words are rich and so artfully written. Great job.

Comment from Ceallach
I've never heard of this form but it appeals to me much. It doesn't seem as rigid as other forms but I am sure it can be. You have done very well with this poem. So well in fact that I cannot find any nits. The flow is superb, cadence very sound, word choice excellent, and metaphors wonderfully applied. So a sixer is what you get. :)

Ceallach, thank you so very much. Honeycomb just invented the form several days ago. I so appreciate your generous exceptional rating :-) Brooke
Comment from Cariboubill
Peaceful, Brooke. A wonderful time of day. Very interesting rhyme scheme. I like the way you altered it a little in the third verse. Good friends don't have to always talk to enjoy their companionship.

Comment from Gert sherwood
Hello Brooke,
looks like in fact you did Master the Mirage format..
The moring is to peacful until the singing of birds
Love this part
When first light arrives at last
and the bleak of night has passed,
comes that momentary hush
just before the morning rush.
Great way to begin your poem

Excellent. A total joy to read. It made me think of the moments in the morning when it is totally silent and I am reflective. A little quiet brings a great deal of peace, at least in my crazy frenetic world. This is a complex and wonderfully written poem, another great post. Thanks. J

Hi Brooke,
This is the second mirage poem I have read and you have done a stellar job with this one. Good alliteration in starlings'/song speech/should. The use of 'surcease' is gifted, the flow is easy and the theme is wonderful. Well done....blessings, chey

I always learn when I read your work. Always so smooth and without a stutter. Your words capture the reader, at least this reader, making me go back and read it again for meaning. Another great write.
