I like it. The only thing missing were the bugs and a canoe:) great imagery and movement. I'll take the lake over the beach any day. A well written poem.
Thanks

    Hello Old Soldier!
    I smiled when I read your comment about the bugs and a canoe. Not too many bugs where we live, and most canoes have been replaced by kayaks!
    Thank you for your excellent rating and complimentary review!

This form . Is soothing and with built in alliteration takes on a cohesive feel regardless of the theme. Of course a lakeside retreat? Heavenly in any form!

The presentation is outstanding for this poem that is filled with lots of both emotions and imagery. The picture selection is exceptional for this poem. The reader wish he was on this lake.

I wanted to give you a heads up review. The contest announcement says, "The poem itself has seven lines. The first word in each line begins with the same letter as the title."

I am seeing more than seven lines, and the first word in each line does not begin with the same letter that begins the one-word title.

Perhaps you still have time to fix it.

    Good Morning Nor84,
    There are indeed, only seven lines to my Pleiades. Each line begins with the letter, L:
    Linger,
    Laughter,
    Legendary
    Loons
    Lake
    Life-renewing
    Lakeside

    I hope that at least the images I created resonated with you. Of the eleven reviews my poem has received as of this moment, no other reviewer has made mention of my not following the requirements for a Pleiades.
    Thank you for stopping by and expressing your concerns. Perhaps you were viewing my poem on a phone?

    Take Care

The visual is so perfect and so beautiful. This is a very lovely painted picture of all the memories of a lake visit or staying for the weekend or week. I can see the camp fire and the smell the fish cooking. Very nicely written. Good Luck and Best Wishes in the Contest! Sherman541

I had never heard of Pleiades style poems. What a fun poetry style! A bit of alliteration with a twist! You did such a great job with your storytelling about the activities at the lake. The descriptives and imagery are in every line! A good entry for the contest. Good luck!
