Just lovely. A beautiful tribute to what was. I wish I could have seen the land in the days of the Indians. They took care of it. Blessings...

Comment from Joan E.
I admired the contrast between the images in the two stanzas of the rhymed cycle. This poem is a very effective use of Pantygynt's form and your photograph of the beautiful, healthy forest. Sighs- Joan

Comment from nancy_e_davis
Oh, WOW! You do take some lovely pictures Tom. This one takes my breath away. I loved the forest. I planted trees all around these five acres my house is on and guess what. The moles have come and their many tunnels have killed the trees because the water is diverted down the moles tunnels and the trees die of thirst. Well done on the poem. Nancy

I hate the deforestation. Give us back our trees. The next several generations of people will pay the price of what has been done.
Great pantygonnet:)

Thank you Teresa. You are probably right.
Comment from gsuarez
An excellent philosophical, social, and environmental commentary on how we are raping our forests. The rhythm, rhyme, and word selection was superb.

Comment from Mustang Patty
thank you for sharing this lovely ode to the trees and forests of yesteryear. It breaks my heart to see the woods taken down in the name of progress. I guess we just to have more places for the burgeoning population to live,

Thank you MustangPatty. Yes, so true.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Pantygonnet poem. The big question about our forests that are starting to go astray when mankind came on the scene and decided that they can become rich, and forget about the devastation it would cause. A great photo.

Comment from Pantygynt
Fame is not achieved by creating new forms but by having respected poets tweak and vary them just a bit. I particularly appreciate your treatment of the sestet. it is like coming upon a pond in the middle of the forest and seeing the reflected trees growing downwards. The feminine endings are what makes this to my mind.
This is is a superb piece of poetic extrapolation and I am deeply honoured that you should have even attempted it.

Thank you Pantygynt. I have inserted that description in my book's "Description of Sonnet Types" section, with your formal name included. Any corrections or additions, please let me know. I like your pond analogy. I agree that it is like a Petrarchan, and the feminine endings make it unique. It will fall in Chapter 7, Variations on Rhyme Schemes, and fall between the Dual Sonnet and the Sestina Sonnet, as Sonnet 73, of 170 total Sonnets. Shooting for a Fall publicatioin.
Comment from sunnilicious
That's a wonderful poem. Educational. You are definitely knowledgeable on the subject as you rhymed such large syllabled words with grace. Well thought out. Nicely written. Great work. Good author notes too.
Also, it reminds me that I want to visit the Redwoods or Sequoia Trees in San Jose. They look larger stump wise than the trees in your photo, however, I like the tall lankiness. It gives a different character to old forests.
