Strangers are not always bad or doubtful, at the instance of traumatic days worldwide on the face of COVID 19; we have to rely on the kindness of strangers as we are doing and trying to survive; well said.

June,

I love the image you paired with your poem. Koalas are such cute animals. Kindhearted people make all the difference in the world. Good people do risk their lives when they care about others. I like the way you compared the people who saved the koalas with the people who save lives today affected by Caronavirus.

It does seem the world moves from one major disaster to another crisis to, only to have an unseen catastrophe afoot.

A perfect picture for your poem.

Best of luck in the "Rhyming Poem" contest.

This is a nice and thoughtful read. Yes, God is love. You made it very clear. Thanks for sharing! I think that God isn't judge and justice, but he is love. Good luck in the contest!

Beautiful rhymed poem. The Terza Rima is one I haven't tried yet, but after reading your offering, it looks like something most beautiful.

Your movement in this poem is mellow and breezy which is just the thing to illustrate your faith.

Great job June and best of luck to you with the Contest Committee. :)

That flower has seen love along its path as well -- a wonderful gift for a mom that loves in so many different ways... This is such a poignant write, June - doesn't seem that way at first but once I was drawn to re-read the gentle, descriptive lines I found the warmth laced within the lines from the Hand above to those along the way...gifts all. ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck in the contest!;) Yvette

In this beautiful, vividly descriptive poem, you have effectively used the flower and its "travels" as symbols of people's emotions, ranging from romantic happiness to sadness. Lovely

This terza rima, A Flower, has the proper formatting and flowers the outcast bloom through its apparent downward trek until its worthwhile use provides renewed importance for the gift now delivered. Neat poem.
