"Vanished", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but I'm never given enough of them. I look forward to seeing your next post.

You see less of these old gnarled twisted trees these days, are these trees deformed because of lack of nourishment I wonder? If this is the case, then our planet is not so polluted as we thought. I enjoyed your concern for this lonely old tree being the last one and so it is bereft, but I expect it is still plagued with pixies, elves and sprites when the sun falls, I loved your choice of words here that gave an ancient feel to your poem, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

This reminded me of the Brigadoon legend at the end where the village vanishes. This is an excellent example of the breed, with its strangely separated rhyme scheme.

Hi DAMOMMY,
I am glad I read your notes. I read the poem and hadn't realised that the rhyming is done in the following stanza. What an interesting form. I Bet this took some working out. It was a nice smooth read with no stumbles and pleasantly presented. I think your writing this has inspired me to have a go. Sorry I have no sixes left. It does deserve them.

This is a mysterious poem that tells the ending with a clue of a single oak tree remaining as a proof to the believers that some mythical village of tiny beings had been there but now was vanished. Concise and compelling,for those who live tales of wee folk like fairies, sprites, pixies, or perhaps leprechauns.

This is a very skillfully-written, beautiful poem. You have made excellent
use of vivid, specific details to contrast what once was, according to myth, and what is now.

You always show me such interesting forms, Yvonne! I love your magical picture of the fairy village that once lived in the ancient arbor! It makes me feel a little sad for the loss of those trees and inhabitants.

That seems like rather tricky rhyme, but you did excellent work with it. It reads smoothly. This is rather a sad theme with the lone tree in what had once been a lush forest and the silence when the birds have gone and the village has vanished. Only loneliness remains. Great work with this the atmosphere really comes through. juid

You did a great job with a complex style, Yvonne. Your notes are great to explain it. Your image is a perfect accompaniment to your well-chosen words. I like the story told in your poem. Your words flow well with great imagery. This is a bit like a sonnet (with an extra line in each verse). I could see the old tree, the fairies, elves. Your words are great at creating the atmosphere of this ancient place now gone. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love, Jan
