You’re very kind. So you think the form works?

With regard to the form, the short answer is yes. The longer one is... the rhythm I prefer in poetry(the 'music/cadence' my senses want to feel as I read) is there in these stanzas... instantly found once I read line four and five as one and bounced on each end rhyming word of those lines.   Did you understand what I meant?

As far as the poems, regardless of form, I found them each, Summer and Winter, beautiful.

Yes. I understand, and thank you very much!

Oh ... these sang to me. What a lovely form and your words too. 

I read poems every now and then because I am  more a story reader. But I read yours because they are always good.

i don’t analyse them, I only taste them en say WOW.

I’m so very glad these resonated with you. If the form made sense, then I’m even happier. Thanks very much for your encouragement.

I love the way you put it: you taste the poems. Sometimes I think one must read poetry slowly, just one poem at a time. A whole book of poetry might take quite a while to finish, but it’s worth reading it that way. Thanks very much for taking a moment to sample these. 

I'd certainly say you've mastered this new form! They do make both summer and winter shine, don't they?

You’re very kind to say these shine. It’s a form very new to me. Thank you for your encouragement.

They do shine. Poetry can evoke many sorts of responses. These evoke pleasant thoughts and spark pleasant memories. They're both winners!

I like them both, and the descriptions are evocative.  They are well-written, but I must admit to having difficulty with finding the right rhythm when it changes toward the end of the stanzas.  

The change in meter and pattern can be jarring, or maybe just enough to give one pause over those lines. Thanks for your thoughts and for considering these poems.
