I don't know if this is an existing form or not, but it should be! I found it lyrical and lovely. Reminded me of family vacations to the ocean. Well done!

Well done LisaMay. Never seen it done but I must say it sounds OK. If it doesn't exist then you invented it. :) Either way it is poetic. There are many forms out there that are written a certain way to be. I don't follow rules. If it sounds and feels good to my heart and soul... to me it is good poetry, but that is me... I don't know how to write correctly. :)

    Sorry for late response to your review. I hardly ever follow a proper poetic form as I don't like rules either. This poem sort of invented itself.

Your poem is well composed with 6 syllables per line in this interesting poetry form. Lots of alliteration and good word choices as well as internal and end rhyming. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

This piece is well-written, and lovely. It vividly celebrates nature and romantic love, both powerful forces in our lives. The rhyming is creative, an effective enhancement.

It's a Alit-Arhyme-LisaMayan quintet. Maybe we need to make that name a little shorter. Pantygynt may come up with a good one.
You are on such a creative roll! Loved this one, too!!

    That sounds like a Mesoamerican musical group.

A very well-written love poem with excellent rhyming words that makes the lines flow from line to line. It is also an excellent photo that complements your poem.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver a well penned Rhymed Poem. The rhyme is natural and rolls easily off the tongue as the reader travels from line to line. The meter is subtle, yet ever present throughout carry one along on a lyrical zephyr. Well done and thank you vey much for sharing it.

Love the 's' alliteration in the first stanza, then the 'm' alliteration next in the beginning of the second stanza. I think the last two lines say everything. How fun to invent a form. I think the colors here also produce a happy mood. Thanks for posting.

    Thanks for reviewing. This poem is a relatively short one for me - any more would have overcooked it. I think that form has enough going on with the alliteration and the rhyme in 2 stanzas, so Day and Night suited it as the subject.

Interesting form - and fun to make them up. You did this well. Your first stanza about a sunny, shimmering day at the beach made me want to be out there in the sun.
good job.

This format is new to me, but it works! In a few short lives you've painted a lovely scenario. Day or night, we are blessed by creation's beauty and the knowledge that we are loved.
