Your lovely nocturne poem, is very well written and the rhyme and rhythm flow flawlessly. The words of your dream, sending you to the stars, sending you into a trance until the morning light begins to take the dark away. All in all, a really lovely night sleep!! :)) Sandra xx

What a beautiful poem about sleep, dreams and renewal. The rhyming is great, and the poem flows well. This is a good night sleep will do to you with fanciful and memorable dreams.

Well done.

Love your Nocturna poem! You kept the rhyme scheme perfectly even with the more challenging middle line rhyme with "God, awed, unflawed" and you took us from night to morning with this celebration of night and sleep.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I do like this form, and I think you have done a fine job of it. The rhyme scheme of the second line in each tercet draws the piece together wonderfully so.

Excellent work, and many thanks for sharing. :))

I am unfamiliar with this style of poem. But I like it. Your beautiful poetry was quite evocative. The feeling of falling asleep in a transe like state and waking up renewed was written flawlessly. If I had a 6 you would surely get it. Alas.

you really nailed this difficult form. I tried but I am afraid my attempt was a bit lame and you will get more votes than I will. So be it. Yours is better than mine.

I enjoyed this verse very much!
I am unfamiliar with this poetry
style, so thanks for the exposure!

This is well composed and presented.
The rhymes work well without force
and create a metre that flows smoothly.

Your phraselogy is excellent and transported
me into the night.
And after all... isn't that what great poetry is
about?
Writing in such a fashion that the reader is not
only engaged but that they walk away feeling
that they have read something very special.

Thanks for sharing.

I adore your third stanza - it changes pace slightly - more thoughtful, contemplative. That makes it all the more effective as a sense of realisation and conclusion. Beautifully written.
