Hey adewpearl
I thoroughly enjoyed your wee poem and tribute to that great poem. I loved the imagery employed and you said a lot in seven lines.
Great job.
Have a nice weekend.

Comment from fayesh
I liked your tribute to Wordsworth. I would have opted to mention the "ghost of Wordsworth or "Wordsworth's ghost" rather than Wordsworth to accompany the "immortalized." However, other than that, it was a fitting tribute to a wonderful poet.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments - I was writing about how the live poet wandered onto the scene and immortalized it by describing it in a poem that would last forever. Sorry if I did not make that clear enough. Brooke

Thank you for the explanation. I see your point now that you mentioned it. Take care Faye :))

Comment from prodigal
I think you did a good job with this one, Brooke. I am not sure what a septoplet is supposed to accomplish, so I reviewed it the same way I would haiku. It conjures a vivid picture in the mind's eye. I like the personification in the first line. Overall, great job- Sam
