Ae Freislighe Poems

the bard of the willow calls

His' echoes trickle thru 

perched near the waterfalls 

the owl's haunting song grew

Lovely verse, Cherrie ✍

I particularly enjoyed your a-b-a-b rhymes; the personifications of "his echoes" and the owl's" (needs an apostrophe) and the metaphor in "the bard of the willow calls" (barred | bard?); check the form requirements below.

Gosh, Cherrie, what a gorgeous owl picture, with it highlighted against the waterfalls … mm, love it!
Great first try at this tricky little number.

For those who do not know, and might like to give this fun little Irish form a go:
The true challenge of this form is in the syllable counts in ending words, as follows:

AE FRESLIGHE (Ay Freshly)
The syllables in brackets are to show the lines that end with
either a three syllable word or a two syllable word.
Stanzas are in Quatrain form, with ending word syllables alternating 3-2-3-2.
When writing more than one stanza, the string needs to begin with
the same word that concludes the poem.
Ie: the first word is the last word, too.
Each line is seven syllables each.

xxxx(xxa)
xxxxx(xb)
xxxx(xxa)
xxxxx(xb)

you know Richard I could not decide if I wanted bard or barred(as in barred owl). I will write one this weekend when I have more than two minutes. I do like this format.
Thank you Richard as always I appreciate your good eye. :)

Hm?
Well, it's not likely "barred" in L1 would relate to your readers with "owls" in L4 … just sayin'. : )
