Terrific job with your kyrielle poem! I liked how you set a mood with the repeated line and we can all relate to the dreariness of a winter "lingering longer" and the "bane of stiffness."

It looks like this bird was standing firm and resolute about not being move despite the rain pelting it. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

I love the repeating line in this poem, "raindrops crescendo off the pane," it brings a peace to this poem that I really enjoyed! Also your rhyme scheme was on point and I liked your word usage! Great job!

I enjoyed reading your Kyrielle, J... well done on the choice of rain as your topic and an excellent repetitive line. You definitely transported us into your rainy day with this verse. Well done.

This is wonderful. As someone who loves repetitive lines, I found this one to be perfect in every way. The repetitive line was my favourite. It worked so well with each stanza.

That was a really good, well written poem. I had the added benefit of reading this as that annoying rain was playing its tune on MY window pain!
I enjoyed reading your poem, and loved the descriptive words and occasional alliteration that ran through your lines. Well done, a lovely entry for the potlatch challenge. :)) Sandra xx

Hello JLR, I really liked your Potlatch Poem, it's so sweet! Your refrain is just screaming 'Springtime!!!' and I love that!
I do have one suggestion for your last stanza: I find the second line to be a little awkward, you may want to try, "to let the sun's rays dance again" I think it will read much more smoothly.
It's a lovely spring poem. :)

    Susan, I will look at that I am grateful for your wise comments.

    I'm not so sure about wise, but I give it a shot now and then. I'm due for a Kyrielle myself. Now, what to write about! :)
