There is always those little creatures hidden within the woods, or so they say. But as a big kid who has often wondered if someone or something is always always watching, this brings me to wonder again. Thanks for sharing.

    I agree. We never know. They're out there, I think. Thanks, Ric.

This is lovely, Yvonne. I was just writing out the form and that I would read one who knows. I lovely the magic/fantasy feel in this one about finding contentment in the woodlands. Beautifully presented, well done.

I really like this snappy poem and it is rightly named because it comes 'round about. The internal rhyme is really cool. Beautifully written and illustrated as always.

Sending you my best today, and best wishes for the poetry challenge.

Oh ,Yvonne, the magic of the night in a deep forest is something else isn't it? That's when the fairies comes out and all other real or imagined creatures. I loved it. Ulla:)))

Magical as in a children story and. It makes me think of tiny people, possibly elves, as they work and play among the roots under the moonlight. This would make a great childrens story. Great job!

-Very nice artwork and presentation.
-You did a good job with the poem and topic.
-Effective imagery, rhyme, and repeating lines
create a vivid word picture of the magic woodlands,
"A happy land, this forest fief."
-I also like the "tiny caravan" and how they
live a contented life "in woodlands quite remote."
-You have created a very peaceful realm.
-I enjoyed reading it.

I enjoyed your poem and with your descriptive verse you convey the calm and peaceful haven the woodland. Very well written, great job. Your woodland would be a great escape from the hustle and bustle and craziness of daily life.

This is quite a complex format, but you have succeeded well! It has a fairytale and magical quality to the descriptive words you have used, and it reads so well. Excellent presentation and image, all well chosen.

I presume the name 'roundabout' owes something to those French poems such as rondeaux that live by virtue of repeating patterns. The addition of metre to which you have held well throughout makes it more pleasant to the English Ear
