History and vision

I’m very pleased with finally finding a subject that led to me being able to repeat the form I invented for the poem Moonsea from the first ekphrastic challenge I participated in.
Edit September 2nd
As I sit struggling with finding the right form for one of my writing assignments in class I decided to share this to remind myself that not only can I find the right form, I can invent one if no other seems suitable.
To see all art and read all poems for today go to The Wombwell Rainbow.
Also shared to Open Link Night at dVerse.

Thank you! ❤️
A web and a weave is a great metaphor for life itself… but are we the spider or the fly caught in the web?
I think we are both the spider and the fly, we make the web we then feel trapped in. From another perspective we sometimes are the spider that weaves a web for others and sometimes we are a fly caught in a web made by others. This could turn into a very long philosophical reply, so I’ll stop myself there. 😆
Sound of drum and feet
Oh yes! Repeat! Repeat!
Thank you! Some things are worth repeating. 😀
Wonderfully constructed! The rhyme and the repetition worked great. ❤️
Thank you!
You are welcome.
We all fall somewhere on/in its interweavings…
Yes we do! ❤️
I specially like this part:
Web of rhythm and beat
Sound of drum and feet
Thanks for joining in. Have a good week!
Thank you! And the same to you! ❤️
Very nicely done. Webs are such interesting creations.. Your repetition works well.
Thank you! ❤️
Great web and weave and rhyme! (I’m at a loss to know what kind of bird builds that intricate nest!)
Thank you! ❤️
I’m not sure of the exact species but the group is known as weaver birds.

This is a wonderful form, Helene: I love how you’ve woven two layers of rhyme into each line!
Good example of how powerful repetition can be.
Thank you!
Your lines “Web of rhythm and beat / Sound of drum and feet” perfectly captured the rhythm of your poem. Well penned!
Thank you! ❤️
I remember this art of Kerfe’s. Wonderful poem to go with it. I love the repetition.
Thank you! ❤️
You’re welcome!
