Hello there, Fhionnuisce

I am also reviewing your item because it popped up on the Random Review click.
I really enjoyed this particular style of poetry. There is a repeat of the last word of each line, which begins the next line. I find that quite melodious in its flow. It is also a great way to supply emphasis to catch the reader's attention. I see that in the brief description, you call it a variation of Chain Verse. I am not studied in the various types of form poetry, thus I will have to look-up the non-variation of a Chain Verse. I lean mostly toward free verse when I do write poetry. However, I enjoy a rhyming verse when it is more than the common rhyming that can become monotonous if the rhyme words aren't carefully chosen. Too many times, rhymes sound forced.
The good news? Yours didn't sound forced at all. Perhaps because it was a mix of free verse in the first stanza and then into a rhyme form of every other line having its rhyme partner. Thus, my question is -- do the usual Chain Verse forms have a first stanza of non-rhyme? I guess this is the only thing that stood out differently in the poem that made me pause when I returned to read it a second time. You did say it was a variation, though. Again, I'm no huge fan of rhyme. I did like your poem for the free style of its presentation, yet the return of the end word in the beginning of the next line gave it a grandeur that made me take notice.
