What a beautiful Ottava Rima!
Written with a sense of joy to encourage and inspire us to not look at our problems but to nature unfolding.
After the pain, there is healing and another morning to see. Time to do something today and try to forget the pain and torture.
The pain and suffering will not go away so why wallow in it? Look at the silvery moon, try a little dream and try to forget all the miseries.
Look around and we can find peaceful joy in nature. The silence of the night takes away the pain as we sleep and felt nothing.
Tomorrow is still far away. Relax and find some cheerfulness within our heart. Despite the pain, we can become part of nature and looking in from the outside.
Excellent write and well penned with a message of hope and encouragement to look beyond our terror and live a little while we still can.
Thanks for your sincere support.
Cheerio, Ritchie.

I think this is a wonderful project you have started, Ritchie. I'm happy to be a part of it all. This was my first Ottava Rima. I think the next time I'll make it multiple stanzas. :)
Just let me know what we do next.

Hi lovey Dovey,
The next best thing is to write that multi stanza Ottava Rima and add another chapter to the book. Authors can add in as many chapters as they want as we are very short of talented writers like you, smiles.
Have a great weekend with your grands and wonder if they are as cheeky as ever?

Ritchie.
P.S. After the book closes, all authors of the book will be given three nominations to select the three poems they like best. 1st Prize - 10 free copies of the book, 2nd - 5 copies and 3rd - 3 copies (good memento of our friendship as a support group for those suffering. Book to be self-published and sold at cost price - non profit and allow more people to get it. See, that's lots to do once you join Ritchie's project, LOL.

What is our goal for chapters in the book? And what sort of expense do you figure the publication will be? I don't know a lot about that sort of thing, so I'm very curious.
I don't really have any 'grands' lol Well, I can say I have a great nephew, which is the closest I'll ever have to a 'grand'. :) We had no kids of our own, but raised our nieces since 2001, and they are now 20 and 23. I used to always say I wasn't old enough to have kids, now I can say I'm not old enough to have grandkids lol (for however many years I manage to get away with that) ;)

There is very good flow in this poem and you chose very good adjectives to convey your message and tone. I also really like your choice of picture, it works very well with what you have written.

Comment from NHazelwood
Your poem captures the beauty and serenity of a late night sky! I am not familiar with the Ottava Rima but I do enjoy when writers go outside the usual or the norm to create interesting literary works!
Well written!

Thank you for a lovely review, NHazelwood. It is a form I recently discovered and wanted to try my hand. I appreciate your kind comments.
Comment from Dean Kuch
This was a serenely penned, beautifully expressed piece. After having lived in the city where the bright lights and pollution overshadowed the starlight, to being replanted in the country once more, I can honestly say that one of the things I missed most while in the city were those gorgeous, star-filled skies.
Very well written poem...
