JLR,
This is my first experience at reading a loop poem. It is obvious that this takes some concentration to keep the poem's continuity.
I enjoyed reading a Stroll in the Woods and wish you good luck in the contest.

    Sammiel thank you! One does have to concentrate on the line transition to carry the reader along the poem without creating confusion.

An interesting thought a loop poem, feeling strong connection in a few of its lines displayed, finding viewpoints strong and meaningful at least to my interests making a great read. All stated in my given opinion.

A very well-written loop poem about the stroll in the woods while the dew is moist and the light is glistening and a cold chill in the air that you cover up with zips and collars.

A lovely premise for a loop poem, J. Your sights and senses are strong in this walk through the forest, dark and cold.

Just two issues to work out.

Too cover our faces, zip and snap. Too what?

and your last line is missing the loop word, front and end. I think you could easily rework this to introduce dance at the start of the line and stroll at the line's end to return to the starting word. You would just have to change your line two:

pace we set to stay abreast of the light, to rhyme with stroll.

and line three to start with stroll. There are still a few days to edit before the contest closes.

Wishing you much luck with the Contest Committee. :))

    Gloria, you are the TOPS! I totally zoned out...I was working on this poem and then saw my doc and found I need a surgical correction which upset my apple cart, I sent this without a final review. SO THANK YOU...

This is a very nice loop poem for the contest. A Stroll through the woods is an appropriate title. The picture is gorgeous! It certainly enhances your poem even more. Great job!

Great job with this very difficult form! Writing loop poems that rhyme gives me a headache! Your poem reads smoothly and I liked the movement of your stanzas as you talk about walk in the woods and the movement of the light. Best wishes in the contest!

What a beautiful picture and a lovely poem to make it come alive! There is very little in this world more pleasant than an Autumn stroll in the woods.

You have adequately described a brisk walk in the woods in a loop poem. I especially likes the lines "chins tucked under the collars...collars so high it covers our grins." This shows our delight at being able to stroll in the woods. I did note that the last line didn't actually loop. It could have been, "dance as we twirl...." This poem provided great imagery. Well done.
