Very catchy poem of a carousel. You started out with 4-3-3, but then went to 3-3-3-, for about 3 verses. Was there a reason? I really liked it. Miss Sally

I enjoyed reading this poem. I like how you compared it to a carousel. That's a unique perspective, at least, I've never heard it put that way before. My favorite line was The peacock
Autumn comes
Feathered gold.

An excellent metaphor in a very interesting for. I think this form is interesting because of the information that the reader has to bring with them to the poem. The sparse verbiage makes the word selection even more important and I think you did an outstanding job! Thank you for sharing your work.

Comparing the seasons to a carusel. This is a very pleasant read for sure. Very interesting and clever. God loves you and I do too.

Clever metaphor of a merry-go-round. Blue winter--for sure--I hate cold! I get the wet spring, but why brown-not green? Summer-red hot and bold expecially in Florida, but that's why I live here. Peacock is perfect for autumn. Love the alliteration in the last stanza.

Thank you so much Spitfire, I was thinking that spring starts out rainy and dreary before the leaves come out and flowers bloom.

I have never hear of this type of poem before, but I'm thinking I like it. Your words were short and sweet and to the point, like it that I didn't have to use the dictionary. This is my kind of reading, thanks for posting.

This is very good! I'm unfamiliar with this style so thanks for explaining it. I will have to try my hand at writing one sometime. I really like the comparison of the carousel to the seasons. Your poem is very descriptive and I like the choice of words. Thanks for sharing!

I have never had that though of seasons like a Merry-go-round. Great visual of the go round and round and up and down. Love the wording you used to explain why seasons and Merry-go-rounds are the same.

Well done as always,
JO
