This is very interesting writing as far as this format. You wrote a well rhymed poem with a nice rhythm to it.I enjoyed it and even though it got creepy feeling, it did not get gruesome.

always nice to encounter new poetry forms to try found three today that i will experiment with later. Regarding this poem, I like how it builds towards the supernatural ending

A very well-written domino rhyme poem about the ghostly presence on the beach that reveals itself on the breeze and the flames of the fire and goosebumps all over your body.

It is often our own imagination that scars us more than actual events. It is what we believe to be true, rather than what is actually true, although this is an atmospheric write giving me goose bumps too! Love Dolly x

What a vivid imagination! This piece of writing is so descriptive I could imagine it all as you saw it. It was spooky how the ghostly guest puts goose bumps on your and even my skin.

This is an excellent domino rhyme poem, where the line 2/3 of the of the Previous stanza become lines 1 and 4 of the next, not quite what rhyming was meant for, but a clever method for change. An excellent post that rings of activity, nicely expressive and smooth, great rhyming as it is, well done good luck, blessings Roy

    Roy, thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my domino style poem. It is a far stretch from my free verse, but the challenge was there right in front of me...

You did a great job with this complicated rhyme scheme! And I liked your great descriptions of the feeling of nostalgia mixed with a mystical experience.

Wow, you have done an excellent job in following the Domino form, Jim. I loved your free verse flow (although it was a form). This seems to fit you very well. I also hope your health is ok. We have missed you in class!! Great job on this one.

Beautiful imagery that makes you feel as though you are there. The descriptives are vivid without feeling forced - a very natural flow that puts you there on the beach by the fire. Thank you for sharing this!

I see the tumbling and this is an excellent post for the writing club challenge. I think you have a typo you might want to fix, "fires glow" should probably be "fire's glow." I enjoyed reading this.
