Your poem made me realize that Bonzi trees look like they are dancing ballet. I wish I had more to say. It's difficult to satisfy the character counters.

    I know. Thanks for reviewing. You should write about dancing Bonzai trees.

This rima dissolutas poem, Vanished, follows the explained format and sets a sad tone as the images of laughter and magic shrivel when exposed to the cold realities of life. Much like the fairies and the enchanted forest fade to a silence pine.

A very well-written rimas dissolutas poem about the vanished trees that left behind one single crooked tree on the hill until the village is always vanished one day.

I'm afraid your explanation of the form soars far over my head, but I know what I like. The lone twisted trunk is all that remains of a once vibrant, magical community. I wish I knew the circumstances of this loss, but I realize that's for another verse.

Peace, Lee

Hello Yvonne. The poem very aptly describes the picture of the well worn tree. The descriptive narrative certainly paints a verbal picture that needs no visual. Nicely done. Robert

Wow. I've never seen this type of poetry, where you rhyme the lines in the second stanza to the corresponding lines in the first, but you did it beautifully. I like how the last two lines summed up the story, while rhyming the last two lines of the other stanzas. I enjoyed your use of alliteration, i.e., "village vanished" and "ancient arbor."

very mournful way in a way . Had to look up the style as I had no idea what to look for. It is very well done and the description is very well stated for effect

You have fashioned an excellent Rima Dissolutas, a poetic form I was not familiar with. I enjoyed hearing about all that remains of this once-enchanted land. Rod
