Welsh Winter : englyn


     weathering Wales in bleak winter is hard
 
though starred sheep remain sleek

taverns roaring fires a feat
 
making Celtic maidens sweet

I'm not familiar with the Englyn form of poetry, I never written one. Yours flows well. Good luck in the contest, my new friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Dear Ghairo, I enjoyed the desolate feeling of your first line, and the vibrant imagery that follows, that builds into the wonderful lively finale of your last line. There is so much here to linger over.. a vivid and enchanting piece. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
