I'm Totally unfamiliar with this particular style of poetry and I offer my stars for the lesson provided by this excellent poet. I liked the way the poem was packaged in photo and print and I cannot find anything to offer to improve this work. Many thanks for a fine read. HIS GRAYNESS

Not for the faint of heart. A high wire act juggling a chain saw. I couldn't watch. I bet that cost a pretty penny. Good job on an interesting form unknown to me. Well done Tom. Have a lovely day! Nancy

    Thank you Nancy. It definitely was a circus-like activity.

I am currently conducting a class in FS on the subject of rhyme. but my next class, yet to be annnounced will feature continentental forms with repeating lines and I should very much like to use this poem as an example of the retourne if you you have no objection.

I missed the sawdust at the first pass but see it now. I trust this guy didn't have too much weight on that right leg of his. He doesn't appear to be using any safety harness eithe.

    Thank you Pantygynt. Yes, you can use it in your class. I would be honored. The worker did have safety gear on, but certainly pushed it to he limit.

The photo you made is brilliant, you are very good at this. It complements your poem very well. Yes, the sawdust you can easily see. Long time since I saw a Retourne poem.

Tree trimming is a lot of labor. Climbing and cutting and cleaning. Well thought out poem. Good visual imagery created. Creative. Good rhythm and rhyming scheme followed. Nice work.

A very well-written Retourne. It is a most important operation to do, or maybe suffer worse damages to the roof or building structures. Great photograph.

This is a very well written poem about tree trimming and being able to climb that high up. You used very good descriptive wording and very good imagery. I enjoyed reading and reviewing it. Blessings, Teri

This particular activity certainly drew out the poetic spirit ! bringing the arborist (beautiful word-don't hear it often enough!!!) and his tree cutting to life - so well portrayed in this Retourne - a form with which I'm not at all familiar

Hello again--two posts in one day--you're making up for lost time with a literal "retourne"! I enjoyed the repeats and regular lines. Thanks for capturing the tree trimmer in action, and I am glad his acrobatics inspired you to create this poem. Cheers- Joan
