Wow, that's really a beautiful picture, Yvonne, but not as beautiful as your exquisitely rhymed and metred florette.

Just lovely and a relaxing read on a mid September eve.

Much enjoyed. :)

Oh wow, Yvonne, what a beautiful poem! I needed this one tonight -- the serenity is marvelous, and the woodland scene so easy to imagine. Thank you for sharing. I plan to bookcase this gem and read it many times.

This is AWESOME! Your poem is one of the best I have read in a long, long time. Your presentation is super--love the color scheme, the picture is perfect, the font is beautiful, the scattered alliteration is used to great advantage, and your message is loud and clear. This sounds wonderful read aloud. I love the theme. You did an excellent job expressing your thoughts/feelings in this well-composed poem. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Such a beautiful picture you've captured with this poem, Yvonne. I enjoyed the alliteration, assonance and well-chosen rhymes (guard, scarred, starred) and what a charming picture of the woodland nighttime scene!

"gnarled and scarred"

These are just two of the strong verbs you are using in this poetry, Judy. As you know, Verbs are King. They propel a story or poem full speed ahead with meaning. Rustle is another.

Great poem, my friend. Bob

I don't now which is lovelier, your artwork or your words. This is a beautiful florette. As usual, you have done a great job of meeting the requirements. I enjoyed the read.

So, five lines per stanza instead of four...looks like you did a fine job of writing a style II florette. And for sheer tranquility, the deep woods are really hard to beat.
(except when the crows catch a hawk near their nests)

    That's true. There's nothing so peaceful as a walk in the woods. Thank you, Red.

This is just so mesmerizing. I love all the softly rhymed words, exquisite. Aside from the content being so lovely in itself, the picture too, is perfect. I think this is the best poem I've read this week.
Blessings...
