Comment from Ginda Simpson

Excellent

Good things happen when we are quiet and peaceful. Your repetition of the words "in quiet peace" works really well here. It emphasize that we should seek quiet moments often, to rest and to heal and to give thanks. Good example of Rondelet poetry form.

Hi Ginda Thank you for your review and kind words for my Rondelet poem
It seems we do need to Give thanks that we are not at war or in harms way
My thoughts go to those who are
May quiet peace be theirs one day too
Cheers Chris

A lovely rondelet. I also think it is important to be thankful for our blessings and to be thankful for what we do not have to experience. And to pray for those going through terrible and frightening times. So your poem, and notes, are meaningful and well written. Best wishes for your entry.
Wendy

Your excellent rondelet provides a soothing read for reviewers to appreciate. 'Giving thanks', as is suggested in the sixth line, has a positive effect on mind and body.

I have read multiple rondelets today and this ranks among the best. An insightful and introspective write. There is much to be grateful for when it seems the world is at war. Jacqueline

This is a good entry for the rondelet poem contest.
The subject matter is very solid with all syllables in-check for this form. To sit - In quiet peace - is what all of us should do every day. Reflect on all that we are blessed with. Thank you for sharing this motivational read and best of luck in the competition.
