I have had days like these, you look up, get lost in the clouds, sense how everything is in flux, the only thing anchoring you to the ground the muted awareness of your name. I am not sure what you mean by dividing it into 3rds , but Don't really think I need to know. It gives it a mystic feel.

This was such a beautifully written poem, Mr. 'T', showing such a glowing love and appreciation for nature and all things under her azure blue skies.

I found the formatting, the Interlinked Rubiyat an interesting one. It really stands out, it's very different from most others.

Wonderfully done, and I appreciated the detailed author's notes on creating one, too!

Another unusual and very effective
poetry style.
Your mastery of this technique and
style is quite evident.
Nature surely is a great provider of lovely subject ideas and choices.

Hi, Treischel,
This is AN interlocked rubiyat meeting all of the difficult requirements of that form as in your description. It has excellent iambic pentameter meter and good rhyme, figurative language and imagery. This is an exceptional poem fully deserving of six stars.

I learned a lot from reading this poem and your commentary. I liked this quatrain the most.

"I watch the changing clouds go drifting by
In shifting pattern puffs that fill the sky.
So many floating thoughts that it achieves,
I could become lost and not even try. "
Keep up the great writing.

I watch the changing clouds go DRIFTING by 'c' allits
In SHIFTING pattern puffs that fill the sky. 'p' "
A oneness with the squirrels and birds. LOVE 'oneness'
I need to separate it all in thirds. Good line
Because it's not divisible by two, " "
And wouldn't make much sense then afterwards.

And so I WATCH and stare into the blue,
Each moment CHANGING into something new.
And WATCH the CHANGING clouds go drifting by.

CHANGING USED 4X Suggest 'morphing, shifting,
WATCH " 4X Suggest 'view, gaze at, peruse etc.

Regards:
