I like how you took me on an expansive and vivid journey through the constellations, but my soul had to settle somewhere. A future? My soul, my Eden someday. It always amazes me how such clever poetry can be done with rules or various types of poetry. Bravo.

HI I wish I could be contained within the four walls of measured poetry. I am a free verse writer. I still dreams and mind combine to produce a lively write.

    Benny, I prefer free verse, without the boundaries. But I do like to test my mettle from time to time.

Great Poem! This must have really been challenging. To write with such a limited amount of syllables and have to repeat particular lines. Then on top of that, to have it rhyme and make sense! Well done and Thank you.

The magical belief as children we wish upon a star hoping our dreams will come true. Or star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight.
I enjoyed your poem!

You did a great job on this new style of poem. I absolutely love the line. A sprinkling of stardust healing life's scars. Outstanding. The entire poem is beautiful but that one line really resonated with me. You also picked a beautiful image to complement your words. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem.

JLR: I like the triolet format and the harvest of hopes and dreams.
I think we could all use some healing star dust. I can see us walking
together in Eden's Garden (my garden is covered with snow.)

Great control on the rhymes and alliteration. I love walking and looking
up at the stars. Congrats on #4 poet stats. ***************

In my opinion, a striking write in adherence to the form, but I found that the presentation was more memorable for its inference linking science and theology, even briefly, because I believe the two corroborate each other, always- a winning write indeed...

Hi there, I liked your poem a lot and the sentiment of it. Where I'm going to be a poor reviewer, is that I don't know tetrameter from pentameter. I don't know what any of it means. I only know whether I like a poem or not. And I liked yours. It had great imagery. Ulla:)))

    Ulla, thank you! I believe that poetry, while in its truest form has all these rules and restrictions, if a peom is read and it speaks to someone then the poet truly was guided by deep sources to deliver the words. So, I am then pleased that you did like this!

The first repeating line is really lovely. Dreams unfold casting nets at distant stars, is a wonderful visual. Following that with your second line, it really works well. A sprinkling of stardust healing life's scars, another beautiful visual. In fact your whole poem is a treat to read. Well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xxx

Hi JLR, this is a lovely triolet with good use of metaphor in every line. Your repeated lines fall seamlessly into place and the whole is a well written piece of work with a lovely picture and overall display. Well done on your first triolet. Regards Dorothy x
