Hi, June,

Thank you for sharing this lovely Vers Beaucoup with the great picture of the white tiger. Whenever I think of all the animals that we will no longer be able to see due to the stupidity of man, I shudder. How long until we cause our own extinction?

Great poem, and a wonderful example of the poetic form,

~patty~

I love you poem using The Vers Beaucoup format telling us Let's conserve and preserve. Cats deserve a reserve. To be fair, we must care
when they're rare. Stop and think - in a blink
they're extinct
Love the picture of the white tiger, which are rare to see,
Gert

This shows your love of nature and the horrible side of hunting. This shows how greed can cause the extinction of a breed of animals.

Good entry for the potlatch club.

Keep writing

I admired your interpretation of the Vers Beaucoup form as a call to save endangered creatures. The echoing sounds of the rhyme scheme adds to the intensity of the message. Cheers- Joan

You've done so well with this format, june. It is flawless and an easy read. You'd think with so much conformity it might read choppy or disjointed, yours did not. It's message is clear, preserve the rare, protect them. The structure was well penned, the chosen rhyme is smooth and solid, the presentation was fun and engaging. I love the message. Well done, June. Thanks for introducing me to a new format. I've penned many a unique styles, this one, will now be on my poetic 'bucket list'

This is a great potlatch challenge poem, June. I enjoyed reading it. Your picture sets a great tone of what's to come. You did well with the complicated rhyme scheme. Your poem sound great read aloud. It is awful what is happening to those magnificent animals by poachers. Thanks for sharing & caring. Jan

This is an excellent representative poem of a verse form with which I'm not familiar. The rhyme pattern is excellent. Your vision is perfectly clear because you state it very well with words that are easily comprehended. The rhino's horn, the elephant's tusk and the tiger's pelt look better on the animal than on a floor or wall in some dark clandestine game room. Well done.
