Comment from Frank Malley
I haven't attempted this poetry form, a Double Refrain Kyrielle. By briefly familiarizing myself with the form on Wikipedia, I was compelled to admire this excellent poem, so functional within a strict design. Exalted in its combination with With Winslow Homer's great painting, "Snap the Whip," the kyrielle might benefit from having used the same title; 'recess' feels a little spindly to me.

Comment from Brian Grimes
I could actually feel the warm air and the joy of running free on the last day of school. It reminds me of field days in elementary school. Well done!

Brian, yes those days of warmer weather and playtime were special.
Comment from Terry Broxson
A well-written club entry, I think it will be well received. The artwork and the poem harken back to yesteryear. The game in the picture looks like "red rover." Recess is certainly different today. Good job. Terry.

Awe, sweet memories of a simpler time when schoolyards were a safe place to play.

Janet, thank you so much for your review and comments.
Comment from LisaMay
Your poem is effectively descriptive of both the school's setting and the children's activities - soon school will be over; no wonder the kids are cavorting. The repeat line works well and your rhyming and rhythm make this an enjoyable read.

It's not summer where I am - we've got winter here in New Zealand.

I like this double refrain kyrielle. Your theme is just right for the image and you wrote it with skill. The metre and rhyme are very smooth and effective too. Well written.

Beck, the beauty of FanStory is the ongoing opportunity to explore the various clubs and be introduced to all types of poetic forms. Prior to joining FS in 2018 I was not skilled in any of these at all. I hope that you find this site a playground of discovery as rewarding as I do!

I'll think about expanding my horizons! Thanks.

loved your rendition of the painting 'Fun in the Sun.' I can't write about an American painting. Children are all the same all over the world, they look forward to the school holidays. K xx

'Recess' , is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill. It was a privilege to read and review this talented poet's work. To me this is definitely a six. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Duchess, you gift of six stars is so very appreciated, I trust you are having the highest and best in everything that life has to offer you.
JLR, Your six, sparkling stars were definitely well deserved. The best life has to offer is hopefully in the offing.
