Hi, June;
Thank you for sharing your Mirrored Refrain for the Potlatch Poetry challenge. Yes, boys will be boys. Your use of the repeating lines worked well, and they fit perfectly...there wasn't any need to stop and wonder why the line was there. Great use of the poetic form.

    Thanks, Patty. It was a bit big a challenge. But I had fun.

Beautifully written and presented very tastefully. As always I admire your work. The mirrored refrain is not one that is really easy to write I don't think. I have yet to try one. The colours blend perfectly. Fine work.

This is a really nice and well written Mirrored Refrain you have penned for the potlatch challenge. You used such great descriptive words and lovely art work. It made me smile as I read the part where you said boys will be boys! That is so true. Great words and imagery! May God bless you my friend! Teri

Good luck in the club contest. And, April showers bring May flowers. March to April is quite a difference. Maybe more different than any other monthly transition. It is already hot here in April. We do not have much of a spring. End of April May be hot. I noticed the date on your poem is March 19. But, we have not gotten there, yet. I am sure you have your reasons. I like the cheeriness of the last stanza with the footprints. Well written. Message clear. Thank you for sharing

I am forever amazed at the variety of poetic styles. It is like a puzzle. Can you make your ideas fit this way? I enjoy the challenge aspect of it, but I am beginning to appreciate the readability of it. Each style has a different impact. Your poem is a perfect example of why I am beginning to like these stylized poems. Your mirrored refrain is very effective. If I were to examine the two lines absent your poem, I would not know which one to put first. That is the genius of it. Personally, I could not come up with two verses that I could interchange like that. You make it look easy.

Thank you for bringing a bit of spring on this wintery day. I feel the promise of spring in the air, and your poem made me feel warm. Great theme, your words flow, and the picture compliments your work. Thanks for sharing.
