This kyrielle, She Waits, has the general set up, along with an abaC rhyme scheme, and creates a sad scene of hopeless abandonment. We know these people, who wait for someone to return and for life to go forward.

Good abab rhyme scheme utilized in your Kryielle entry, Anonymous Poet.
Cactus blooms take a very long time to bloom.
To wait all of that time only to have it die would be more than a bit discouraging, indeed.

This is a very well-written poem with a lot of deep emotions! I love the style of the Kyrielle poem and your repeated lines add so much to the appeal of the piece. This is a solid entry to the contest. Good luck.

What a striking artwork and evocative Kyrielle! I admired your alternating rhymes plus repeats and the touching theme of lost love. Best wishes in the competition- Joan

This feels sad as if I'm up at 3 waiting for my own cactus to bloom. I like the rhyming to this, it reads like a sad song.

I know nothing about this kind of poetry writing or any other particular forms of poems that I read about here. I'm simply in love with the reading of poem and love what each individual poem has to tell me. Like yours did:


By morning blossom will have died,
just like her hopes and dreams of groom,
who left behind heartbroken bride
waiting for the cactus to bloom

Hi, This was nice, and I learned of a new style of writing while reading this, so a win win. The line that stands out is "For one night joy replaces strife" I wasn't sure if the "F" was capitalized on purpose to emphasize the brief glimpse of hope, or just a typo. The imagery was very good, albeit sad. Dave

I like the poem and you did a great job following the rules. Flowed nicely. A blues poem. I am left wondering more about the cactus than the woman. The cactus is the CC

    The cactus is called the Queen of the night. A short but beautiful existence as opposed to the woman?s dad one. Thanks for the review,
