Comment from Lena Borghi
Hi Brooke,
I love this rondeau replete with hope and strength. You give a wonderful testament of faith in a form that is one of my favorites.
Great images evoked by "huddled in the night" and "cloak of darkness."
Your rhymes are solid and I spot good use of consonance throughout. Nice alliteration in "heart..hears hope's.." and "sorrow seems...strong."
I really enjoyed this well crafted poem and its beautiful message. Love the title.
Best,
Lena

Hi Brooke,
It's great to have a few minutes to read (if only a few). I have been so busy, it has been impossible to keep up. I was devoting all my Fanstory time to my haibun class. I enjoyed it. Hope to have a little more time soon. Be well,
Lena

I love the phrase "keep the cloak of darkness drawn" and what a powerful poem you have gifted us with. I love that it does not leave us behind in the darkness so to speak but brings us into the light with an uplifting attitude. Loved it.

Comment from His Grayness
Thanks again for another new poetry style lesson...so very beautifully done..by the way! I truly enjoyed the message you delivered and I do so agree: "There's no place where dark belongs within a heart that hears hope's songs"! This is "memorable" wisdom. Many thanks: Vance

Great poem you have here. The language and word choice was very well thought out and the flow of the poem had a really nice cadence to it. Imagery was strong and the format of the stanzas was ideal for the transitions within the poem. I give you five stars for an above average effort. Keep up the good work!

Comment from Titanx9
What a wonderful affirmation of life. Each day, we are blessed to see a new sunrise is indeed another chance to start anew, to shake off the darkness. It's another opportunity to restore faith, and all that makes you, you. This is an extraordinary piece of writing!

Comment from Leineco
This is a lovely poem, lauding the power of faith, in the good that is to come written in classical rondeau form ...with a rhythm that sings the reader through.
I particularly like the juxtaposition of dark and light wending their way through the write.
Very nicely, and compellingly done :-)

I love your Rondeau, Brooke and its
spiritual message. Light will always conquer
darkness if we have faith.
Excellent rhyme and meter and a lovely
repeating line. Good luck in the contest. Nancy

Comment from Opal H.
What a beautiful poem! Indeed, often when we feel things are challenging our faith in ourselves and others, but it is then we must find the strength to keep this faith.

Comment from tedanytime
Very nice poetic form to present your theme of faith.
The second stanza is most meaningful:
"At times when troubles last too long
and keep the cloak of darkness drawn,
when sorrow has me in its sights,
my faith restores."
Best wishes.
