being an Aussie I can so relate to your parochial little verse I love the way you describe the scenery in a story like rhyme nearly a sir David Attenborough style commentary in rhyming verse
incidentally in NSW in the telegraph they had a 14 dvd series over 2 weeks of sir David Attenborough's full collection of his series I managed to get this fill set

thanks for sharing

A fascinating poetic form excellently executed. I particularly like the enjambment from stanza to stanza. It's an effective unifying technique. :) Nancy

A very well written poem for the terza rima contest. I love this form and it is so very rarely seen. I love the ending, feeling at home. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

I love the picture, it's just glorious, as is the piece that accompanies it. This is a wonderful piece of writing in a style new to me, it just flows so beautifully. All poems should be written this way.

Such a serene feeling and of peace. This definitely reminds me of "The Road Not Taken" both deal strongly with nature. Yours has no regrets as to what you've chosen. Beautifully written. Les

    as I wrote this, Les.

    I did actually have Frost in mind as I wrote this - not 'Road', however, but 'I have been on acquainted with the night' which is in terza rima style. Also others of his poems which deal with country life.

Terza Rima is an extremely difficult format in which to write a poem and you have accomplished the task admirably..
Your rhyme rhythm and imagery are excellent .It is not very often that I award six stars to a poem, but in this case I feel it would be criminal to do otherwise. I will be very surprised if this poem does not win the contest, but after 3 years of participating in Fanstory I have learned that there is so much cronyism that you can never be sure of anything.
Well done

    I am happy with the piece, but in my humble opinion there is one better than this in the contest. let's see what the voters think.

I am not familiar with this style, but I must say I like it very much. This flows so smoothy, excellent rhyme and tells a lovely story. I look forward to reading many more.
