Comment from Jackarrie
A beautiful spiritual poem, it really does deserve "all time best" congratulations on a great write.
There is no place where dark belongs
within a heart that hears hope's songs --
Despair shall never win the fight
to wrap my world in endless night,
for just as sorrow seems too strong,
my faith restores.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Beautifully penned rondeau, adewpearl!
Inspirational, uplifting and wonderfully structured, it conveys such a love of nature, hope for the hopeless, as the repetition of the refrain, ~my faith restores~ leaves no doubts in the readers minds as to what gives your life meaning.
The presentation is first-rate, with the gorgeous photo you've submitted with this fantastic entry...
Bravo!

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Brooke,
I love this rhythm. When saying it out allowed it just has a beat that rings in the ear... So couple that with some special words of inspiration and you have a real winner and I write that before I knew it was in the faith contest... So I think that makes it a double special for the contest... This was a true delight to read... Magic! All the very best in the contest.
Kindest thoughts,
James xx

Comment from Enrique28
A fine poetic example of this form, and of its theme...
"dawn by dawn as silent night gives way to song" I love the sense of joy that God's created nature can bring to the spirit. Strong connotations of hope and optimism come through with "my faith restores." Your picture presentation is indeed very inspirational. Excellent!

Comment from Domino 2
Excellent rondeau, Brooke, with a powerful repeat line.
Nice to see faith written about as a support, rather than some of the boring and often didactic/preachey stuff I read.
Top rhymes and meter, and excellent choice of words to create the right atmosphere for your positive theme.

'My Faith Restores.' Faith is a wonderful thing as long as you believe in something. It can also become a problem if one mistakens it for loyalty. Well done, Brooke.
