This is certainly a very wonderful and elaborate presentation of its form. I just had to read it twice. I love the picture as well. A big thank you for sharing. R56ma3 Susan C.

Thanks! So pleased you took the time to read! I'd never seen the form and that particular Dickinson poem is my favorite so, well, I had to give it a try! Six stars! How generous! I appreciate your comments!

I never heard of the Golden Shovel poems. In the past I tried writing haiku based on a poem and giving credit to the poet until I got a very violent poet who didn't like the form and said it was plagiarism, even though I sent him a private message and credit the poem on my author notes. I stop doing that. I hope you have better luck. I like your Golden Shovel. Well done!

There is along tradition of poems based on other poems and it is absolutely established that as long as you credit the author of the original (or authors in the example of "Found Poems")--
I am so sorry you had a violent poet accuse you of plagiarism. He or she was wrong. I suspect I may get a comment or two on that--
still this new (to me) form seemed like the thing that sparked an inspiration after along dry spell! Thanks so much for your comments. Hope you are well!

Well done on this type of poem. I am sure that hope has kept you going through the last few weeks. It is good to see something from you again, Karenina. I trust that you are doing well. Have been praying for you.

I have been yearning to write something and post! It's been quite a process as my daughter patiently wrote, amended, rewrote again as I worked through my musing... Still, I feel joyous to have gotten something up on the site--and a new form I'd never heard of at that!
Thanks you SO much for reviewing, for your kind words and those six lovely stars!

You are so welcome. It must be hard not being able to write yourself. I am thankful you have your daughter.

Me too! She always was and remains a true angel!

"The Wisp in the Wind"
And as I fled?
My flight was well; but only time could tell?
Perhaps the mockingbird or quote The Raven nevermore?
But this I most certainly am sure!
I am but as I always am and I always will and shall be?
"The Wisp in the Wind"
Searching in the night for my life to begin?
Unknown Poet
Note: I mostly try to write things like this in my own style with many many words and titles of hundreds upon thousands of choices.
I can hear the many many voices from above!
There's no hesitation writer's block nor knock knock on the trash can's door.
In order to write deeply you first need a subject or title.
If you can do it properly?
Then you can do it with your mind and your heart.
But if you are so blessed?
And if you have been so tested?
And so so tested to the extreme?
Then you can write from the Mind into the Heart through your very Soul!
...
I like the way you brought
Depth as Death in a warming Icycle.
You then again did it with a predator of feathers.
You would think of this as a vulture feasting on the carcass of its prey.
Quite so Poe!

Well thank you sir. Dickinson's poem of hope with a "Poe" like slant is a stretch but it's where the muse took me. I'd never heard of this form before and found it quite intriguing to attempt! So pleased (but not at all surprises) that you would find the oddly shrouded metaphors of death in those images! Thanks you for reviewing. I haven't posted in quite awhile. Yours was my first review!
I appreciate your thoughtful comments,
Karenina
