Another form you have mastered! Your
kyrielle is lovely in word and message.
I felt a dance in your "melody" and a
sweet lively spirit. So nicely done!
Good luck in the contest with yet another
winner! Carolyn

Hi Brooke,
I think you should have written this in French nez pas?
I jest.
This is seriously classical stuff, reminds me of a Bruegal painting, although there was a deeper political meaning behind most of them. Charming little piece. Good Luck, Bon Chance, Viel Glukk dan les competition.
Keith

    I can speak, not write, about five phrases in French. LOL Thank you, Keith - your On the Road story is a classic, too, though of a far different sort! LOL Brooke :-)

Hi Brooke! This is so beautiful and captures so much within this poetry form. I've learned a new word this morning - "sonorous"! I think it was a perfect choice for your first line, and it just rolls off the lips, just like the "pulsating waves" you depict so well! I find this poetry form "Kyrielle" to be an excellent vehicle for your beautiful theme of celebrating nature. As always, gorgeous and excellent with the added bonus of viewing a new poetry form. (At least new to me)! Thanks Brooke!
Karen :-)

    It is my first ever kyrielle, Karen, so I'm doubly pleased you like it this much :-) I've read them for years but never tried - I like repeating forms :-) Thank you!!! Brooke

Well, I'm slack-jawed! How can you be raising the bar indefinitely like that? Fantastic images, and a deep, thunderous message. What a great rhythm this one has! I don't know what else to say, Brooke. This is just beautiful! You should be the poet laureate of your state. I'm sure there's no one better!

I've just taken some aspirin and my head-ache is subsiding after reading the rules, which I couldn't be arsed to check, LOL!

I seee you've rebelled from the 'usual 3 stanzas' to a show-offey 4. Dammit, I said I wasn't gonna check! ;-)

Love the way even the 'leaves' find their 'rest below'.

Excellent and smooth read.

Best wishes, Ray xx

    Ray, it said 3 was the minimum, not that they usually HAVE 3.
    You are a riot. Thank you, dear friend :-) Brooke

    I just checked, Brookers, and I suspect you've changed the notes to humiliate me. LMAO! xoxo
reply by the author on 17-Jul-2009
    That's it, Ray, I've PM'd the contest sponsor and gotten her to change the notes just so I could laugh at you! LOL Speaking of laughing - read Keith's newest story - you will LOVE it!!!!
