I am glad you were inspired by Cat's new form and showcased a neighborhood, free library. We have one in our hills above the Pacific. I enjoyed your rhymes and obvious love of books. Cheers- Joan, from Japan

Thank you Joan, hope your trip is going well.

Our trip really became worth it today, with fantastic autumn colors. We always hear about cherry blossom time, but this seemed more special with the range of colors and the magnitude of the forests. More hugs- Joan
Comment from robyn corum
I love the concept and I adore your poem - the lyrical way you've dealt with the subject matter. The LyriCat is taking off -- I will soon have to attempt one -- though poems like this one make me nervous for trying! Great job!

Thank you Robyn. I am pleased you like it, and would like to try one. What I always do is outline it in the left hand column of my notebook. First I list the syllable count of each line, next to it I list the rhyme scheme per line. I sure move that these day you can use the Internet to get rhymes. I use: RhymeZone. I also use a dictionary and thesaurus. The dictionary helps when I want the right alliteration. The thesaurus helps when the word I used has too many syllables, so I need a word that says the same thing. Those are the tools I always keep within reach.

Sounds like our work habits are very similar! (Except I use Rhymezone.) Thanks for your comments - they help!
Comment from Preston McWhorter
Hi, Treischel,
"Outdoor Libraries" is a neat little poem announcing a development that has not made it to my part of the country yet. It is a good idea especially at a campsite where campers might get rained in. The form you used is catchy and follows the prescribed rhyme scheme. The rhyme is good.
Your friend and colleague,
Preston

Thank you Preston. Yes, I thought a campground was the perfect setting for one. Appreciate the review my friend. I am getting to yours shortly.
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello :)
I love the concept of free lending library. When I worked as a teacher, I always had free lending libraries for the students. I like the idea of take one leave one. You did a good job with LiriCat format. I really like it, I already have written two poems, they are a lot of fun. Good job!

Comment from I am Cat
Look at you! You're just making my heart smile... What's up with that?
I mean, if any one poet can get this form accepted, it's you... and wow...
you're just knocking them out of the ballpark, dear friend... I'm blown away.
And so grateful to you. I love it! Wow!
This is so cool, they actually have these little libraries on 'sticks' ? Like on a post? Wow! What A concept! That's so neat in an age when paper books seem to be going by the wayside, to be able to pick one up and check it out as it you were near a library. I love the idea!
and you've, once again, indented and switched up the form so that it works so well... you're showing a versatility to the form... and giving it pizzazz... and showing that it doesn't have to be a ONE CAT wonder... after all, the REAL Cat, isn't, right? ;)
Wow, I"m just really grateful, Tom... thanks so much

Thank you Cat. You are the one who deserves accolades for your creativity. I like how it flows . It is full bodied and expressive. Although I am going to do one with a different rhyme scheme as soon as I find the right muse. It will be: abcbcdAd.
Comment from A.A.A.EXHILARATING RIDE
Just lovely, the concept, and your beautiful LyriCat! I don't think I've seen the concept here, at least by a wayside or campsite. And, it wonderfully creative and attractive housing, so beautifully photographed make this one a really inspiring treasure: one I hope stirs worldwide.
Certainly it is always great to arrive at a YHA or retreat, and search among the gifts to be re-treasured, as well as Op Shops. Sadly, I find finding a treasurer for special books I need to see loved again, is an increasing challenge.
Great presentation again, information and demonstration of a LyiCat! Thank you for sharing again, Maureen*&*

Thank you Maureen&, I am very pleased with your response to the poem in both form and topic. It is a wonderful concept to lend books like that.

Sure is! A special thanks for nourishing it to flower in many ways. Blessings, Maureen*&*
Comment from twinklepoems
You must like the Lyricat form because you have successfully used it in another poem. I think this is a great story in a poem and interesting to know that these outdoor community libraries are popping up. I like "encourage the transfer of knowledge, So go check it out,

Thank you twinklepoems. I do like this new format, and am exploring its possibilities.
Comment from barkingdog
This new poetry form reads very smoothly. You did a fine job with it's rhyming and repeat line which in this case is key to the story that your poem tells.

Comment from Pantygynt
Many of these lines consist of an iambic foot plus an anapestic one. This works very well and brings a whole new rhythmical structure to the form. I like this poem a lot and your new treatment. Sorry about the four last time that was an error that I have since reversed. In one review recently I awarded my grading and before I had time to save, all by itself I watched the grading slide away into a lower one. wtf!

Thank you Pantygynt. I appreciate that. I have accudently done that myself. As always , I appreciate your comments.mi think the Cat has really come up with something here. The odd syllable count lends itself to anapestic quite well. I'm working on another, but may modify the rhyme scheme to: abcbcdAd.

Hasn't she just. I don't think she realised it would take off as it has. Everyone is doing them. Mark Valentine has one that is a very original take.
