A Pond’s Melody

Very sweet and redolent! I conjure memories of music and smell the campfire.

Evocative - reminds me of camping trips when I was a kid

I like this one that is your entry in Nette's contest. It reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Its been a long time since I have been around a campfire and I don't expect I would fair very well by one these days. Sara K

Lovely choka, Rob

Basho smiles on this piece, RC.

This is playful and vivid. The imagery of nature moving in rhythm creates a lively and enchanting scene. Thank you for sharing this with us.

More! More! Blessings!

Great choka, Rob. Have you been active with new poems lately? I will have to go see!

Nicely done, Rob. Who ever knew a pond with annoying ribiter's and dragonfly's ducking from geese would sound so nice :) Great to see you writing, my friend. Thanks also for your recent visit. Stay well...Charlie

Dear Rob, your verses create an enchanting atmosphere full of beautiful imagery that is both animated and serene and touch upon the senses in a wonderful way. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Truly you have captured the sounds and "melody" of the life of a pond with frogs and dragonflies and rippling waters in symphonic elegance. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings to you.

I love the second stanza so much! The imagery throughout the entire write is delightful! Best wishes in the contest!

Best of luck in the contest Rob. Thank as well for my placement in your contest for my Cup of Empty poem. If you are on UTube please look up the video that was made for it. My friend and composer Alan Johnson did an amazing job.

The frog jumps and the dragonflies goosed and ducked. :) Sounds like they're having fun. This is cute, creative and clever. The melody lingers on. My best to you, Rob. :) Hugs, Brandy

Oh, this is enchanting my dear poet friend! I love it! Big warm Congrats on your win too! Thanks for sharing and for reading my poem. God bless you always and your poetry. Hugs

Your depiction of life and sounds in and around the pool is captivating. Congratulations on your win, dear Rob.

Parts of this I really love for the imagery, Rob. Congrats for your win.

Rob, Sorry for the delay in responding to your notification on my entry. First and foremost a genuine gratitude is your due for your generous comment on my piece. But being a judge can be onerous and I value all placements. Your entry is breathtaking in its sweep, vision and detail. I imagined myself at the scene of composition Well done Howard

Nice imagery "campfires dance like sun and moon...". Congrats.

A more complete picture of life around the pond! Congrats!

What a gem. Congrats, Rob
