I love your poem of Spring Nymph. It's loaded with poetic tools like assonant and alliterations. The presentation is very good, too. You book is coming along well.

Well done.

    We are in Granada. It's chilly here. The Alhambra and its Nasrids Palace are so elegant.

    Barcelona was super busy. We are going to Seville and Madrid after Granada.

Another fine poem, Gypsy----spring hasn't sprung here yet, but looking forward to when it does. To me, it's the only season left that I can enjoybecause of climate change; the others can too extreme to enjoy

This poem creates such beautiful imagery. I don't know much about the Japanese forms so appreciate the notes and the links to help me explore them more.

You found the perfect artwork to compliment your verse as well.

I love the creativity of this poem. The mysterious nymph, the sun attempting to play it cool but doesn't, the sprinkles of dew. Once again, a perfect package for our reading pleasure, not only that, but our....can't come up with the right word. I will continue to work on that, and let you know.

The homonym of cool is positioned well in this poem. I appreciate the thought that has gone into it, using it both as a calming influence and a juxtaposition of the sun's heat.

A pleasure to read and another beautiful visual realisation.

A presentation here that I find most visually enchanting.

I very much enjoyed the subtle footnote of humour with the nymph who "fails to play it cool" underneath a radiant sun.

A most enjoyable read this evening.
