Your Septolet poem flows and rhymes well and you followed the contest rules. Your artwork goes well with your thoughts and I enjoyed reading your poem.

Very well done, Alice. I think you have a good shot in the contest with this septolet. I like these lines in particular: (idea or image, I mean) "evokes
nostalgic bliss."

Well done and good luck in the contest, my friend. Bob

Enjoyed this. It captures the energy and flavor of the subject. I used to love swinging so high....touching the trees...

Fine flow and rhyming. Good form, as far as I can tell...

NIce presentation too.

Not sure why the T is capped in THE?

Good alliteration of R and consonance of L

Love how razzle-dazzle sounds like swinging


Love,
rd

OOh, this is great! I am not above hoping there's still some dazzle to be had, with some razzle in my sway, too. LOL. This is highly evocative and loads of fun with the imagery too. We all know I few like the one described here.

Best of luck in the contest!

There are so many different styles of poetry. You have chosen one of the more difficult types and done an excellent job of writing a fine poem while following all the rules.

Hmm, this is very nice. I would suggest a picture of a young couple dancing during the 20's or 30's. Are you sure razzle-dazzle is two words?

THAT WAS THE FIRST THING i LOOKED FOR BUT WHEN i SAW THIS ONE I OPTED FOR IT BECAUSE THE BRIDGE ALSO APPEARS TO SWAY. NOT SURE ABOUT ONE OR TWO WORDS. WILL WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE COMMITTEE IF ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT AND CORRECT IF NEED BE. THANKS FOR REVIEWING

I had forgotten about the Septolet form--thanks for reviving it with this poem recalling love. I enjoyed your vivid use of "razzle dazzle" and your rhyme. I could almost feel the "sway" in the artwork you selected. Best wishes in the contest and happy Sunday- Joan

We're just back from the New Orleans conference and way behind, but it was worth it! Here's to catching up and happy holidays- Joan

A very well-written Septolet. A swing bridge high up in the air swinging from side to side when walking across is an experience not easily forgotten.

Comment from Brett Matthew West

Well written poem paints an illusion in both verses.

The razzle-dazzle in the first verse, and the nostalgic bliss in the second.

Should make an interesting entry into this contest.
