Excellent

I like the imagery of the soul soaring up into the atmosphere of air and clouds until it can be seen by God the creator. I agree, we humans all have a desire to return to spirit.Spirit has no restraints, the soul can float freely in all directions. The soul has unbounded freedom. I like the word choice and the rhyme. Message well expressed. Thanks

Not even considering the fact that you've taken care to put
your words into a particular criteria, this is very nicely done.
Many cultures believe the soul id carried to Heaven by a bird.

All things must return to Him,
Let your wandering spirit fly.
Release resounding triumph cry,
Before our memories can dim.

This poem is a celebration of our Lord who we will rejoice with when we are no longer in this material word where we can find eternal peace and solace. I loved these lines:
"As all things must return to Him,
Let your wandering spirit fly.
Release resounding triumph cry,
Before our memories can dim."
Well done, Tom.

Exceptional

Thank you for another poem inspired by your mother-in-laws death. I admired the Cateno Rondo, which was new to me. I enjoyed your rhymes, repeats and meter, plus the prayer-like quality. May she enjoy the "celestial delights" "above the clouds and mountain peak". -Joan

Very similar to the Rondeau Redouble, I believe. Lovely photograph. Those are hard to get with the eagle flying quite fast. I've tried a few shots like this. Never really successful though. I love repetitive lines in poetry so it was an enjoyable read. Thanks for sharing, Treischel

Let your wandering spirit fly is a wonderful line that draws the reader into the poem. I like the analogy of the eagle flying as the soul ascending to heaven. You have a smooth flow of words and lines. The face of God is what they seek is another line that is spiritual and has a positive feel to it.
