Comment from DecrepitOldBag
Brooke, the rondeau is an extremely difficult form to write, not least because of the syllable count and limit to lines. You've done a marvellous job here with this one. Even though our religious views differ, I can honestly say 'amen' to this.
Warmest wishes and hugs

Comment from Jo_Tweedy
AMEN!!!!!
Nice poem I like the colors of your lay out and the picture too. Poem was good but I found this one a bit difficult to read it's not as smooth as your others.
What I did like was that you managed to find words with similar endings "sedate - rejuvenate" this is effective and sounds nice

Thank you, Jo - I'm so glad you like this even if not quite as much as the others - that is always true of the way we react to any poet's body of work - Emily Dickinson is my favorite poet of all time, but I even like some of her work more than others :-) Brooke

Dear Brooke,
It is work like this that keeps you in the number 1 slot. I still cannot imagine how you manage to turn out work of this wonderful quality as often as you do. Regards

I loved this one. It just soothes my tired soul reading these wonderful flowing lines. I think that picture was perfect for this. You make me want to stay up till dawn and simply breathe awhile...lol. Another excellent poem :)

I think the picture is perfect too as it gives the illusion, through the angle at which it was shot, that the bridge actually does span a sea! Thanks so much for your kind review :-) Brooke
Comment from dtimes3
I see you are becoming well "rounded." Thank you for this wonderful poem.
++ Come shout amen to celebrate
the day this dawn emancipates
from doubts which form in dark of night
but fade when bathed in breaking light.
Come now. Rejoice. Don't hesitate.
++ The time has passed to be sedate
when fears forlorn perpetuate.
The sun has forced them into flight.
Come shout amen!
++ With hope renewed all dread abates
as life with light rejuvenates.
Each bloom unfurled within our sight
prompts dormant passions to ignite.
Bear witness as God recreates.
Come shout amen!
Perfect!

Comment from honeytree
loved the art work so much here and the words are really creative, writing words of hope, love and belonging.
God, is forever creating and we will find out more information when we join 'Him in Heaven."
Great writing.

Nic, thank you - glad you liked it as I've fallen totally in love with the rondeau form :-) Brooke
Comment from Peter@Poole
You are mistress of this French form, Brooke, and unassailable, but need to be emulated. You introduced me to Emily almost a year ago. If she were here today, surely she would introduce you to me. I won't list the poetic touches; you know that I've not missed them. Peter

I feel the urge to write poetry but am trying so hard to get on with the second novel and reorganise a mass of photos that need captioning and dating.
Comment from Carol D Parker
This is so beautiful. And exceptional writing.It makes me very happy because Jesus presented Himself as the light of the world. It's good to be in the light. And the morning does always seem to wash away the worries and fears from the night before. I shout Amen Amen! to rhis poem and its contents.
