The night sky is gorgeous and your brought that out in this poem. A grey fox sitting on the hilltop would also be pretty. I love nature and we have foxes in our neighborhood. They're pretty harmless unless you're a chicken, then not so much. LOL Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you very much Barbara, do you reside in the country?

    Nope in town, but on inside top of a hill. The houses on the outside of our circle backyards are rocky and limestone bluffs.

The fox on a hilltop on a starry night Jim, it sounds a bit eerie, but you managed to use words that make it sound romantic here, not heard of this form before, it sounds floral, love Dolly x x x

    Thank you Dolly, I believe that the intention is such as a floret.

I found this poem to be very creative and filled with seeing beneath the
surface of this scene. The author expressed the words of this poem in
great detail. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome
and made on think of the awe of these words! Great Poem, JLR!

I love the night sky as I'm an amateur astonomer. I can't see as well but I know the stars amd constellations are there. And the moon. A lovely poem in this form, J, and so beautifully illustrated. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the challenge.

What an excellent florette poem you've written Jim, I can remember a rather hesitant writer at first, now you boldly go where you haven't before! An excellent post my friend, great word choice, rhyme and theme well done, blessings Roy

This appears to be an awkward form to adopt but you have given it a good shot. There are only a couple of points that I would like to make. 'Non stop' and 'stop' are effectively the same end rhyme so it is better not to use them together and I do not like your use of the word 'concretized' as I would not have thought it was in common usage exactly. I also can't see the internal rhyme in the last line of that stanza.

A thoughtful and rather beautiful poem here. I hate all the fiddling with forms but the end result is very successful. Lovely atmosphere created by excellent imagery and language choice. Just check 'jaw-dropping state'. I think you want 'stare'. Lol.

I can find no fault with your florette, but mind you I am not a florettable expert. In fact, this week is the first I heard of it UNLESS it was by pickers, picking brocolli. :-O
