Ron (jgdittier) has posted a reply in Larry's thread, Forest Queen nominating this outstanding poem for the IBPC. I congratulate Larry for also taking the Swap Quatrain form and working it into a Sonnet. BRAVO! I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of seeing anyone else write a poem melding both forms together. He's done me proud! THIS one is a beauty, both in the imagery, rhythm and message. A serene scene that fits its title.
Best of luck! ~Cleo  Forest Queen by Larry D. Jennings Within my forest glade, there stands a tree so tall, the top applauds the clouds' parade with massive arms that shade and comfort me. There stands a tree, within my forest glade; encircled… here her children dwell. She grows as centuries descend into Time’s well. Her progeny, a gift that she bestows. She grows, encircled. Here her children dwell to burgeon fair as none have done before. A daughter of my womb, with loving care I’ve nourished her and let her roots explore as none have done before. To burgeon fair, in greenest jade and golden brown. My crown! My crown in greenest jade and golden brown. This post has been edited by Cleo_Serapis: Jan 25 09, 12:09

I'd like to nominate Snow's poem Tidy Twigs. It's a wonderful sonnet filled with much emotion and metaphor.
Best of luck Snow! ~Cleo Tidy Twigs by Eira Needham New sunrays weave; I join the avian song yet apprehension dawns; my chick has grown. You fluttered restless wings, then squawked so long abandoning our nest; my fledgling’s flown. Bereft, I stare at every cranny filled with dying leaves, once placed with expertise. Time’s fingers seem to linger. I rebuild my life, extend stiff wings, explore new trees. Recall my chirruped warnings that you glide above the stormy clouds. I’ll prune this nest then tidy twigs, repress those fears I hide. So preen your feathers, zoom the sky with zest. I’ll cluck around my brood in reverie, ’til you swoop home, to roost awhile with me.
