It was an interesting form to study, the Arkquain. I really enjoyrd trying to put mine together. There wasn't much in in when it came to judging, I got a 9.6 which I was preetty pleased with. This is a great piece. I love that last stanza, it flows so beautifully. Well done on the the bronze hun. I'm looking forward to the next one of these we try. xxx

Excellent penning of Form
Beautiful Lori, it reminds me of calligraphy and painting all rolled into one, to create a piece of poetry art, very nicely expressed in a delightful form...congratulations on winning the bronze

Beautiful Lori ~
OK...you have just knocked out a Poet from
a Trophy spot ~
However....I have 8 more to read....and this is
NOT to say that someone else will not do the same to you ~
I love the way you took this write and
dedicated it to the Arkquain itself ~
Thank you for that ~
1st & 4th lines in 2nd stanza is what kept this
from being among the prettiest structureed writes in this contest....
... ( only .3 pts deducted for that ) ~
Ironically...if this were a Haiku' contest, it would have been a PERFECTLY formed
5-7-5 Ku' ~
Be careful with the aesthetic appeal of the Arkquain...
....I will expect no less than the best in any future contest
which may pertain to this Form ~
The best to you in this contest with so many
Great entries thus far ~
You are a terirific Poet and Artist...
....you take great pride in presenting your work ~
Bear ~

Absolutely Lovely ~
Thank you so much for your entry ~
I will review your entry for certain criteria
expected from this contest ~
If you do not hear back from me
within 12 hours of the contest deadline,
you should have nothing to worry
about as long as EVERYTHING in
the RULES have been followed ~
I will review syllable count just once,
AND, if there is/are any line/s missing a syllable/s,
I will let you know only ONCE!
I am looking forward to reviewing your entry ~
However, Judging will NOT take place until
closing of this contest, therefore,
I will TRY not to read the Theme or
Storyline until that time, BUT,
sometimes I break my own rules and
take a peek ~
The best of luck to you in this contest!
Sincerely,
Bear ~

I find this arkquain-form extremely graceful, especially when a poet succeeds to create a regular rhomb out of the letters ... the message in your poem is very beautiful and a wonderful tribute to the art of writing ... your vocabulary is elegant and exquisit, as usual, and the presentation outstanding ...
I wish you the best of luck in this contest,
marion

B E A U T I F U L !! Well now...you know I am going to try this form now my fellow AP Grannie. The visual is awesome and leaps out as soon as the page comes up, intriguing the reader immediately to delve into the read. Awesome work, enjoyed as always reading your work, my pleasure! ~Tia

I love this, for it delves into a form of poetry not easily done, for the content as well as the design has to be solid.
You've done that!
Excellent piece.
