A beautifully written Ottava rima, Jenine. " I splash in puddles to pick wildflowers, now lift my face to fate-scented showers", such amazing imagery. I loved the tags of happy poet and entranced poet in your excellent photos.

And also, we have extended the poetic forms challenge to September, Jenine. I think you have a valid point and hoping to read more excellent words :) I have updated the original post with the revised timelines. Happy scribbling!!!
