My first French Quatern
Had fun doing this.
You will see that the first line, in the first verse is repeated in the second line of the 3rd verse and so on. Eight syllables per line.
Having overlooked the accompanying picture completely.. I reached into my thoughts on your very cleverly created French Quatern - and am most impressed. To have the skill and patience to produce what is such a gently flowing yet logically put post is quite 'something', Lisa. Did it take a while to have it as you wanted but all the while keeping to the recognised form? Am so impressed at both the academic side of this Fremch Quatern and the tale it tells too. Nice stare, by the way! Jusr has long phone call - excuse typos!

Beautiful poem Lisa. How well you convey this scene and the emotions generated. This is how I met my love, a stare across a room, so thank you for the memories. My heart just skipped another beat. I do appreciate the effort put into form poetry. Hoping your health is much improved dear Lisa. 🌺

Dear Lisa...I love this poem!!! It's so well crafted, so subtle in ways, and so sexy as well....Each line meets the next with such poise and flow...."at times like this I dare not share"....a great line...and all of them are!
Excellent writing!
Hope all is well!
Warmly, B

Just the other day I found my mothers little hand made flower press book.. I had seem it when I was a child but only rediscovered it. She was in England...
She pressed all sorts of flowers and in lovely handwriting wrote their names and where she found them. This was 1934 and she was 13!!! And, I too have a flower press (wood on either side) book and I have flowers in that book that I pressed in my 20's...and I will continue now to press flowers..who knows someone in the years to come will enjoy them...
But long story short I just find it so amazing that you said this in your review of my work... So this is doubley... (no such word!) appreciated!!
Hugs,
Lisa, still in Spain

I was her only Child.. she always said I was her Rose unfolding.. I love Earthly plantings. Already this Autumn..🍂 I have Chrysanthemums in Lavender and Rose with a creamy White Pumpkin that to me represents Purity in our Terror torn World. The precious Children are my 🌹 Flowers. We need to protect them as well as the frail and elderly. You have Blessed my Morning with Generosity. softly, Pat

Read and enjoyed and with much respect .. You are much braver than me Lisa now reading and writing and reviewing again .... I would probably prefer root canal surgery than attempt anything as complex .. Neville towel drying his hair with one hand and trying to type with the other :)

Lisa,
On my way to PT
Interesting to have a glimpse into each others lives…
I love to read poems written in form and i really do appreciate the time and thought that goes into writing them.
This poem reminds of a pantoum format which i used to write in quite a lot and very much enjoyed.
The content is endearing and lovely ...:)
