Hi Winklet, An oldy of yours, "Riverstone Terzanelle" popped up on Read and Review and I am here to share my thoughts.

First Impression I found the title fascinating. Of course I would read this poem.

Frame A Terzanelle, an invented verse form created by Lewis Turco. A cross between a Terza Rima and a Villanelle. The elements of the Terzanelle are:
1. a poem in 19 lines made up of 5 tercets and ends with a quatrain.
2. metered, most commonly iambic pentameter however if you stray, lines should be of equal length.
3. rhymed A1BA2 bCB cDC dED eFE fA1FA2. Caps are repeated lines.
4, L1 is repeated in L17, L2 is repeated in L6, L3 repeated L19, L5 repeated in L9, L8 repeated in L12, L11 repeated in L18.
Yes you checked all of the boxes. Though the purist might say the lines are a little long. septameter rather than pentameter. But the iambic metric pattern is maintained and lines are of approximate length.

Texture, rhythm, word choice, and sonicsThere were many surprise images in this piece. pebble son, waters weave, ghostly ways, sand and silt etc. This poem reads fluidly.

SuggestionsNo technical error jump out at me. I can offer nothing in improvement

Overall I was very impressed with this piece. This was not an easy form to display your story through but it complimented the content. I enjoyed this skillfully written poem.
