Good work TrishA, There's some big words in there.

Wow, Trisha, that is exquisite! I immediately got the mental picture of an old ruined homestead in our district. Your word picture is alive! I could almost reach out and touch it!

Cheers, Shelley

I love this poem Trisha! If I had to select each line and/or word in here that really stands out to me I think I'd just be copying and pasting the whole poem, so I won't! But that should tell you how clearly this beautiful poem paints the picture for me and how I admire your excellent choice of words. Love how you finish it in the last stanza as well - that's the nail on the head. Hats off to you on this one!

You have made good use of the prompts with this delightful piece Trisha that first line just draws the reader in - or it did me.

I liked 'fractured visions' and 'crystalline reflections' - nicely used. Your words painted a very clear picture for me, reminded me of a shot taken by another mate of mine that I will share.

Thanks Neville, maybe 'your' muse paid me a visit this week.

That's huge praise Shelley and Catherine! Many thanks and much appreciated. I did enjoy writing this one.

That shot does seem to capture the scene Maureen. There's something about old houses and their secrets.
Trish

I agree with Catherine regarding your excellent choice of words throughout the poem.
You take the reader with you and we can see what you describe.

A pleasure to read Wendy.

Regards Terry

Stone the flaming crows Trish are some of those words actually in the dictionary ?


I'm gonna have to write them down look them up and then read it again


as my grandson would say " Just Gammin "

a job worth doing is worth doing well.

Cheers Bob

Sorry Trish got my names mixed up there - But the rest was spot on.

Terry

In agreeance a wonderful tapestry of words that all roll into each other exquisitely.

One to be proud of, Trish.

Cheers, Marty

Thanks Terry, Bob & Marty. I'm humbled by your comments.
I hope the dictionary helped Bob.
