I never heard of this form before, but you sure execute it with aplomb.
Excellent images created in word economy - similar to an excellent haiku.
That poor rabbit has little chance.
Cheers, Ted

Comment from Capricorn30
A well-crafted writing incorporating good alliteration;
A detailed view of an eagle's flight expressed in a Tableau of nature's splendor.

LOL. I guess buffaloes would look from rabbits from that high in the sky. Nice alliteration in golden grass, peers and plains. Playful near rhyme in rabbits habitat.

Greetings from Topeka, Ks.
Love your poem. Reminded me of a passage that says God locket to & fro from heaven seeing all that men do, both good ad evil.
Was reading some of you correspondence and you mentor you children lived in Overland Park for awhile. I have a good Preacher Fiend who has been Pastor Of the Baptist Church for a number of years, now moving to Des Moines, Ia. I as wondering if they attended that church. Pastor name Nathan Gast
Your Friend, Jerry

Comment from Sagnik Das
Carolyn, I can never commend you enough, for the stupendous depth & prowess, wherewith you have glorified this metaphoric format - Indeed, this is a very novel concept, not for me alone, but for the vast majority of writers here at FS! - Being such fraught in picturesque imagery (often a bit 'abstract') & concise in brevity, I can clearly foresee a lasting prospect for this poetic format, in the 'upcoming tide of times' ..... Wonderfully improvised, my dear friend!
:)
PS ~ However, there is one thing I would like to admonish you about the structure, Carolyn - you know, a 'Tableau' need not always adhere to the prescribed five-syllabic rule. And this I found after considerable research & analysis (especially over the more traditional aspects of the format). For instance, consider this - one which I have taken the liberty to annex herewith, for your hearty perusal & consideration :
A Tableau - By Countee Cullen ((30 May 1903 - 9 January 1946 [New York Edition] ) :-
Locked arm in arm they cross the way
The black boy and the white,
The golden splendor of the day
The sable pride of night.
From lowered blinds the dark folk stare
And here the fair folk talk,
Indignant that these two should dare
In unison to walk.
Oblivious to look and word
They pass, and see no wonder
That lightning brilliant as a sword
Should blaze the path of thunder.
------------------------
Now, what do you reckon as to that? ...

Hi there my dear friend and fellow poet. This was a fun one to write. I gave credit on the author notes to the poet who started the form on FS. But I must admit, I learned so much from your own wonderful revelation. Thank you as usual for the through and intense manner in which you review my work. It blesses me to be so fortunate to have you as my 'editor'. You are most assuredly my most coveted mentor.
On a personal note. I am out of town at the moment and on my 'trusty' laptop. My eldest sister had surgery on her arthritic hand and I am staying with her for the night as she just got out of the hospital today and needs assistance. So I am shutting down for the night and shall not get to do reviews. But I had to do my replies. Thank you again so much. Study hard and do your best in school, you have a marvelous future ahead of you. I just know you are headed for greatness. Love, Carolyn

Dear me! - Then I would on no account augment your dismay further, Carolyn, by keeping you engrossed, with a 'massive' reply (just the kind I normally vouchsafe, LOL) ... guess I am a wee bit sentimental ...
I shall fervently pray, & apprehend her infirmity to assuage once and for all .... May she convalesce early, & return to you all in cheerful mettle ... Take good care of your own self as well, my beloved friend - always remember of Florence Nightingale in such cases.
My love & regards to you.
:)

Dear Carolyn,
A new form of poetry I didn't know - so thanks for this delight. I liked it - expressive imagery did indeed create a perfect visual for me. Nicely penned my friend.
Thanks for sharing it.

Comment from adewpearl
peers ore plains - o'er plains
soar/peer/wallow - strong verb choices add power and life to this scene
good consonance and alliteration in lush tall golden grass
eagle's eye/rabbit's habitat - add apostrophes for possessive
vivid descriptive detail :-) Brooke
Eagle's Eye - add apostrophe for possessive
good alliteration in peers o'er plans, golden grass

Thanks Connie, I'm not sure if a Tableau should even have a picture, except the one it creates in the readers mind. But this one was just to perfect. So glad you enjoyed it. Carolyn
