  1. Oh... I like it, great word to use and some nice verses I do like the sound of rain on a tent.

  2. We chose the same word – bit I like yours better than mine! Especially the first stanza and ‘i tie a teepee’.

  3. For some reason I get a big kick out of "tar it" for your teepee.

  6. What amazes me, having read a fair few of your poems by now, Grace, is that despite the extreme paring down of possibilities which this form dictates, your poetic voice still comes through in this...

  9. You've risen to the occasion with this challenge, Grace! Dare we say the pirate has been raised with his own petard?! Bad egg. :)
