Thanks Brooke. Yup, when I used Conservatory and rhymed it with glory, that blew it.

Comment from 9999pool
A beautiful tribute to the lovely garden around the conservatory and on the inside too. the blooms brings forth a feeling of awe and inspiration as the beauty took hold of our breaths and the camera captured the essence of this beauty in its true light and this write captured its favor and fragrance too.
Well done.
Smiles, cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :))

Thank you Sueellen. Not a stupid question at all. Many poets have trouble with it. It has to do with where the accent falls on each syllable. Take the name Ellen. Accent is on the first syllable (hard accent). In iambic, the key is to start with a soft syllable and the line ends on a hard syllable. So you get a sound like da Dum da Dum da Dum. In my poem my first two lines are not iambic because both Conservatory and Glory end on soft accents. If I use those word as my rhyme, then it won't be iambic. But my third and fourth lines are iambic, as are all the other lines in the poem. But since I had to use the word Conservatory, I couldn't do a strict iambic poem. I hope that makes sense.

That is an excellent view of the Como Park Conservatory you took. You captured the beauty of the nature surrounding it and also captured it in the poem. Always a joy to read your adventures of what God has placed on earth for us to enjoy, and you enjoy it WELL.

A tiny taste of what's inside
Where treasures hide
Cherished jewel
Where colors rule
Beautiful Tom and you have managed to take us inside to see the treasures of the colors. Awesome.

Comment from barleygirl
This poem is interesting & full of imagery, plus it tells a little story about the anticipation one might feel upon approaching your subject matter, all nicely conveyed with clarity. Using pink font on grass-green background is very hard to read. Please try picking colors with more contrast. Don't forget, some people are colorblind & greens/blues are usually difficult to discern, becuz of lack of contrast. Good poem & thanks for sharing.

The line Let spirits soar gives the feeling of the beauty of nature here, uplifts one spirit. Good feelings come through your words. I am not familar with this form and enjoyed reading this form.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
A lovely presentation and picture.
The poem adheres to the stated guidelines for a Minute poem A lovely subject choice and the beauty and wonder of this place is well described.
The overall presentation is good.
For ageing eyes though the light text colour makes the words difficult to read.
