This is a beautifully descriptive Nocturna poem about sleep, JLR. Your words are almost like a meditation, so peaceful and serene, a lovely poem. Cheers

In my opinion, this is a lovely poem in theme, gentle gentle rhyming rhythm and presentation. I appreciate the form, but the theme more, having thoroughly enjoyed my read...

JLR,
I liked the airy way you describe one's dreamscape, and then the hope of the beginning of another day.
Nice photo.
Good luck, JLR.
Blessings,
Cindy

This nocturna, Whilst I Sleep, brings the reader into the awesome sky of stars and dreams to imagine an eternity in a heavenly place that matches all we have hoped for.

The author's words for me are filled with a spiritual awareness of the higher self! The words flow and connect well. I pondered on the last line as it leads to the gift of a new day! The artwork is awesome and goes
well with these words. Great Poem!

Your club response read well, JLR. Great job with the rhyme
scheme. I liked your topic and how well you expanded on it.
The image was supportive. Your words were descriptive and
perfect for a night time theme.
Thanks for participating, Jan

You have written a beautiful poem, so quietly lulling the reader to sleep. Sometimes I wish for that nighttime trance! One suggestion: Verb should be plural to agree with guides. If you mean Spirit to be the subject, there should be a comma after guides, and embraces is correct.

I love your last stanza! As a new day approaches, our bodies and souls are rejuvenated and ready to begin again. Except you say it much better:-)

Nicely done!

Hello my friend. I enjoyed reading your lovely work and the skill with which you wrote it. It flows beautifully with the use of enjambment and good end rhymes. Well done, Jim.

James,
These three tercets describe well the change from night to day.
I think the rules state that the second lines of each tercet have to rhyme.
Keep writing and stay healthy
