A form of poetry I have not mastered and for which I have the highest respect. I can not for the life of me understand the amount of effort that must go into writing such a work of art. It seems that multitasking is necessary to be able to end the poem in the proper space. Lovely and I stand in awe

[Lisasview]

Oh, you are so correct this was quite a challenge and I certainly have not mastered it... From finding just the right words to convey my thoughts to making everything line up just right...Yikes!!!
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my work.

Exceptional in absolutely every way! To create that form and enclose meaningful words within it is mindblowing - (especially for me - can barely parenthesize a colon! ) As for the painting, the more I looked at the more I wanted to. Many thank yous for sharing, Lisa.

[Lisasview]

Yes, this was definitely a very difficult poem to write...I keep thinking I should try it again?? Also did you know that I painted the abstract?
Thank you always for reading and reviewing my work dear Emma..
Lisa, pouring rain today and I love it...

[emmajoygreen]

NOOOO, I didn't know you painted the abstract! What a creatve woman you are! Is well I don't envy you .. much! Rain can be one of those blessed events in life but for some places, as with in Spain recently, can be hell. Take care, oh wondrous all-rounder!

[Stella Armour]

These syllable count poems do make for an attractive pattern and i love them myself .
The patience required to get both shape, content and count is a credit to you Lisa...
Well done ☺

[Lisasview]

Yes, not easy... But I did enjoy the challenge.
Thank you Stella for reading and reviewing...

dearest Lisa... the silky clouds of yesterdays Dreams become the Harp that Angels Play. Amen, Pat

[Lisasview]

Such a sweet review of my poem dearest Pat!
Thank you,

A genuine difficulty in pattern poetry is finding a way form the form to enhance the words. Your final line accomplishes that goal.

Good morning
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my very first try with Nabla Del…took forever … not easy… decided to use one of my abstract acrylic paintings for the image.🎨
