This is a message but it is laid out and seems so light at the same time. I love to read it out loud as it sounds lively. Nicely done but one I don't think I can do

A very well-written Fibonacci Spiral poem. It is getting to our nerves all the negative stories and doomsday talk. We need to focus on the positives and make our days as pleasant as possible.

Oh yuk! Mathematics. That's why I became a writer - to get away from numbers but mathematics has now got into poetry. Mind you this is quite clever. Lol.

An encouraging poem with good and strong advice. We must not dwell on the negative but enjoy the little things in life. I enjoyed the read and loved the presentation.

Wonderful advice Miss Yvonne.
I sat outside today enjoying my
daffodils, and along came the sweetest
little yellow butterfly.
Simple things bring true joy.
I love the message in your poem!
Blessings...

Some people live their lives caught up in a whirlwind of he-said and she-said. I know people who just use their imagination to fill in the blanks when the gossip is sketchy!. Your well-written poems conveys a powerful message about the WRONG, unhealthy, way to live.

Yes!! This is exactly how I would feel too. It's hard to remove yourself from all of that racket. It's so easy to get pulled in. Good job with this piece. It was an easy read and I enjoyed it!

    I tend to keep myself away from negative people, books, movies, etc. Life's too short to indulge in misery of any kind. Thanks for reviewing.

What a perfect example of this complicated style, Yvonne. Your words are in perfect order as to syllable count. There is great flow from line to line and verse to verse. Your words are descriptive, there is some rhyme and alliteration, and your message is loud and clear. You are right there are many more enjoyable 'things' to see in nature rather than sit and listen to rumors. Your spiral verses create a perfect spiral (like the nonet when done right). Your image is a great pairing, too. Thanks for sharing a super example of this style. Respectfully, Jan
