Holy smokes! What a challenge, to write one of these! You've done it beautifully, mind you, and you can guess my next comment, I bet... Yes, it's going in my bookcase to enjoy again, and perhaps to sometime try the format!!!

Thanks for showing how this form is done. I like the melodic quality about it and you added extra internal rhymes (lutes, flutes, suits, boots) and fun alliteration (forest fief) to bring those magical woodland sprites to life!

What a delightful write. There are so many varieties to this poetry I'm attempting to master. I've not seen this one before. And you have presented it so well. The words flow with great melody.

Your club poem was outstanding, Yvonne. I loved everything about
it. The picture was perfect to pair with your words. Those words
painted a picture with every line for readers. I could see this as I
read. Great job with the complex style required. I liked your well-
chosen end rhymes and the internal rhyme of lutes/flutes. The little
clan seemed very happy in their chosen forest home. I believed
the moon will shine down on them favorably every night except
new moon. What a happy place to be. I would love to walk in the
woods if there were some near me. You always give your best on
any poem or story. This is one of your best.
Thanks for participating, Jan

Your post sings a song of poetry. I see nothing wrong. Shakespeare eat your heart out. Arkie is sending the world her take of existence. Good one. Thanks for sharing.

This was very soothing. My favorite place is walking through the forest. The trees are such magnificent living sculptures. This was a wonderful journey of words that instantly made me feel at ease and relaxed. Thank you for posting this. Gretchen

Hi Yvonne, your poem is beautifully penned with soft and soulful imagery.

I especially liked:
So there it was their life began
in woodlands quite remote

(There are so many places of wonder in our world, and the woods is one of them--quiet and serene. I can understand why people like to hike.)

Perfect photo choice. Well done. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M

This is a treat to come across a fantasy poem. Love the feel and flow of your words and how the moon started it all, a forest of little people following a piper. Your use of words appeals to the sensors, music, scenery and a joyful feeling.

I like this form, it seems to have a very similar flow and meter to a Limerick. I like the theme, the rhyme scheme and the great flow, you're a skilled artisan Yvonne, I'm a sucker to good rhyming poetry, well done, blessings Roy
