Exceptional. The Terzaneelle is wonderful and you have created a gorgeous example.

The picture and colours are beautiful matching blues.

Between reality and a sweet dream

That is a perfect description of a mermaid.

HI! Ine. This is a beautifully told tale of the World of a lovely sea-lady,the Mermaid.
The flow of the poem is very much in accord with the endless flow of the seas, and the picture is perfact. Well written, thanks for sharing. wiljacro.

Ine your poem is correctly done in the repeating sequences here, but I am afraid that you have not got the meter right here. For instant Gently is not iambic (GENT ly) AQ ua TIC also not right.
I will not penalize your stars, but this work needs improvement in the meter.
The terzanelle is a huge pain, but leaves you delirious with joy if you finish ... They are strictly written in iambic pentameter.

You capture the mystery and beauty of the mermaid so well, I'm saying six stars. You carry out the format in wonderful style. You paint a lovely word picture with expressions like "between reality and a sea dream." Nice use of alliteration like "bedazzle blue-green." You describe so well the magic of the ocean and the beauty of the mermaid. One suggestion: you might want to try 'never to surface" instead of "to never surface" in the last stanza for smoother flow. judi

    Thanks for your generous review. Have a lovely day and take care, Ine. Glad you liked it this much and thanks so much for the six. I just checked for the change, but it would spoil the meter-so I think I leave it.

Great stuff!
I loved the flow of this poem. Thanks for your notes as I never heard of this form of poetry. I liked the alliteration and sound of the line"Swimming freely in a sunlit sea scheme." The artwork is stunning and the colours are brought to life by the poem.
Well done,thanks for sharing

Thanks for introducing a new style. I do like styles that use repeating lines. I thought you did a terrific job with this terzanelle. Your repeating lines wove in and out like the mermaid swimming through the sea. Excellent job carrying the alternating aba/bab rhyme scheme throughout. You have "painted" a lovely sea scene with your words. Well done. Linda
