Wow. This looks like its very hard but you crafted it expertly.
Good strong rhymes, smooth flow and as charming topic. Since I just joined your free verse club, I thought I'd gave a look as your profile.
Very impressive!
Luv,

I wasn't able to picture this type of poetry until I read your post here. You make it look so simple and yet it is not. Great job on this as I think this looks to be one of the most complicated styles you have ever presented.

This is a lovely tale of this little mum out looking for food for her young. Your double refrain lines meld beautifully in each verse. Lovely scenes you've created here Yvonne, cheers valda

Wonderful storytelling with your Trijan Refrain, Yvonne! I like how you used that refrain well to create a sense of urgency in the first two stanzas and a sense of relief in the last stanza.

This Trojan Refrain meets the many requirements of this format efficiently and effectively.

The piece also has a very uplifting theme and tone.

An enjoyable read.

Well done.

Hi Yvonne. This is a delightful poem with such a wonderful imagery I could just visualise it. I loved it.
Just one little thing: The fox lays in her lair so snug, = The fox lies in her lair so snug,

This is charming. The Trojan Refrain looks pretty tricky. You did an excellent job with yours. The repeating lines are great in each stanza. The fox is pretty confident in her skills as a hunter, as she leaps and bounds to catch her prey. She needs to be sharp, because she has those babies to care for. This delightfully shows how nature provides the animals with the survival skills they need. judi

I love this! What a bouncy form, it suits the fox, how bouncy they are when they are kits and playing while mum hunts. The words are fun, she's a canny mother, making sure it's safe to go out and hunt, and is rewarded with a catch to feed the family easily! I really enjoyed reading this one. I've just been watching some of your animal videos and then came and read this. Wonderful!! Well done, dear sister. :)) Sandra xxx

Thank you for introducing us to this form. I love Jan Turner's poetry, but haven't tried this one.

I wish I had a six for it. You complied with the form to a 't' - loved your rhyming, flow, imagery, visuals and the picture of that adorable for.

Much enjoyed, thank you for sharing.

Hello Yvonne.

Your poem reads very well with rhyme, meter, and conformance to the style standard. Your narration of the fox on the hunt to feed the kits shows, rather than tells, the process of mom bringing home the groceries.

Robert
