I love this poem - and I envy you your "peaceful place". I wish I could find mine reliably! Beautiful rhythm, perfect flow. It is wonderful to read such wisdom to start the day off! Cheers. :)

Thank you, Adele, so much!! I was not finding my peaceful place earlier today as I was figuring out how to juggle today's schedule - so I wrote this to put myself into the right frame of mind :-) You are most generous, my friend. Brooke :-)

I enjoyed your poem. Finding my peaceful place inside myself, is something I tend fail misserably. This poem makes it sound so easy. You must have it down to an artform.

Thank you, Barbara. I actually wrote this to remind myself that place exists whilst I was getting too frantic about what I had to accomplish today :-) Brooke

The strong point of a very creative mind is to create a place one can go to and find peace of mind. This is very well written. Good job.

Such beautiful thoughts artistically expressed in this delightful form that I've learned to love. The words, and the way you put them together in melodic phrases, add to the peace that inhabits your writing. "Tranquility will not elude a soul who welcomes quietude." What a beautiful sentiment. But all the lines are just as meaningful.

Brooke, we all need to find that peaceful place at one time or another, just to get away from the fast pace of life. It's so calm there, and I find mine when I write. You do this poetry form justice...Sharon

Thank you, Sharon. I love Sally's form, so I'm so glad you think I do it justice :-) Brooke

another lovely Yoctogram. (I hope Sally won't mind my nickname for this form. Meditation, or finding peace in one's soul by imagining a serene place or theme is indeed a wonderful way to cope with life's more trying times. Great write, Brooke - You do this form much justice. Rose

Hi adewpear,

I like this message which oozes calm and reason amongst chasing crazy dreams and placing undue pressure on oneself.

I like the flow and could spot no SPAG.

Kind regards,

Diyar

Hard to find that place sometimes, but occasionally I still venture there. ;) A moment to quite the soul and blank the mind is necessary in the rat-race age we live in. I think, if more folks could find such a place inside themselves they'd be a bit happier, and probably healthier too! Great job on this! :)

I was having a hard time finding that place this morning, which is why I wrote this. Thanks so much, my friend :-) Brooke

Very nicely done. Don't we all need a place to hide once and awhile. I know I do, it comes more and more with each passing day. I enjoyed this poem.

This poem has a peace of its own,
a gentle warmth that infuses the lines
with its tranquil feel. I thoroughly
enjoyed this, a reminder to seek some of
that peace every day. Well done!

Thank you, Carolyn - I wrote it to remind myself when I started getting a bit fretful about to-do lists earlier today :-) Brooke
