Ciao !

I love this poem .. I have always said to find God you don t need to be in a church.

In a matter of fact, a church is the least place you will find HIM.

If you want to connect , speak with God then one only needs to take a walk in their garden or if they have the luck like me, a walk in the woods.

And for those that live in a huge cement jungle there is the sunrise or sunset.

This wondrous world and all its beautiful flora and fauna, are God's gift to his most loved and cherished creation :US.

I always open my heart and speak to God when I'm out in my forest . In this peaceful setting, I forget my daily frustrations and connect with my creator.

It's very regenerating.

    Oh, Tempeste, I really appreciate your taking the time to find and review my rondeau. We are very similar in our thinking in regards to where God can be found: Nature. Many thanks also for those six bright stars. Rod

A beautiful piece of poetry Rod. Thought your descriptions of winter in this poem were outstanding and I was very impressed with how you were able to articulate your need for God's grace with your very inspiring verses. Great work.

A beautiful Rondeau, depicting the beauties of nature. God hears our prayers wherever we are, but there is certainly something special about being in a place like this that makes our hearts reach out to God.

This rondeau is well written and reminds we can find God anywhere in nature and in any season. The quiet places make it easier to pray and listen for the answers.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

The poem conveys a sincere yearning of God in the serenity and holiness of His nature's Chapel. The first verse more touched my heart that I went back to read it over and over again. Well done, and good luck in the contest.
