One comment. I think beckon would work better than bestir. It is a bit archaic. Just my opinion. These little ones are tough to do. Good work all around. Nice picture too. Karen

Well done! Very good descriptive imagery used within the poem, very good vibrant colours used and I love the quill like font, it really blends with story within the poem! I will just make a suggestion, check the second line I don't think it is 7 syllables and double checked for you online and it is only 6 syllables altogether.

The presentation of this 5-7-5 is lovely:picture, font, and feelings expressed.
I have a question about your choice of "musky". Do you mean musty?
Definition for musky:
Something related to a substance with a penetrating persistent odor obtained from a sac beneath the abdominal skin of the male musk deer and used as a perfume fixative.

Thanks for sharing,
Julie :-)

You seem to be one syllable short on the second line and one syllable too many on the third line. However, that third line might be because you are counting "memories" as two syllables instead of three. I'd recommend "mem'ries," but I understand that's not a great thing to do. Anyway, thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
