What a coincidence that we both wrote about the sun this morning Lisa, you must have wrote this before I stole it the sun! Much enjoyed and reminded me of my walks along the beaches here, love Dolly x

    We woke up under the same sun at different times and got inspired.

Really like this composition.
The flow needed a second read for me to 'feel' it. Love the day to night switch. Nice rhyming poem and the artwork is gorgeous and supports the piece well : )

I imagine there are almost as many poetic forms as poets. It's fun experimenting with new rhythms and rhyme schemes and I rather like this one of yours.

I like it. You should name the form! It can also easily be put to a melody. I envision something of a lullabye. I like the alliteration, as well as the internal and terminal rhyme!

The rhyme and rhythm of this short poem work well together. It flows very nicely with well chosen words and successful alliteration. It is a simple, yet elegant piece.

Your poem is all shimmery and glittery fun in the sun and all is good when we go home blessed :"Simmering summer sun,
sinking into the west;
it shimmered then glimmered
'til our fun day was done.
We'll go home, feeling blessed."

As long as a poem 'works', the form shouldn't matter ( say I who know nothing about poetry) but of course, it's a rhyming poem contest so I guess it does matter to some degree. Good luck. I enjoyed it and liked the alliteration.

    Thanks for your comments, Judy. I never get bogged down with poetic forms - this one turned into a pattern all by itself when I wrote the second stanza - then I noticed the scheme and put it in the author note... and then I figured, because it did actually have a scheme, I should enter it in the rhyming poem contest.
