Comment from Shirley Ann Bunyan

Excellent

I found this poem very uplifting and beautifully written.
This is lovely

'I have life, breath, sunlight ...some tears.
I have my health, my hopes and dreams; most times no fears.'
You picked a great image, too.

This is a poem with a more friendly-spiritual tone. I like the 'p' alliteration with 'peer through the pane' in the middle.
The only suggestion I have is to put a hyphen between 'sun' and 'warmed'
where it says "sun warmed floor" in the fifth line to make it an adjective.

Congrats for getting in the POM contest with this lovely free verse. I'm not surprised and am sorry I missed it before this. Your verse has such appeal. Small details that awaken the senses - sun-warmed floor. And I really like the Hi World! line. So great to read an upbeat verse which is expressed naturally and honestly and warms the heart. Well done! Debbie

Hi Debbie! I actually didn't know you could automatically be entered into a contest. I honestly had no aspirations of winning, but I feel honored to be mentioned amongst the best artist on this platform. I think someone mentioned that it was rare for a newbie to be considered for such an honor. Thank you all for the encouragement and I will seek to improve. I wish you good health and success in all you do and accomplish.

This poem, Hic et nunc, or Here and Now, greets the new day of light and nature. The daily rituals will help us reconnect and enter the world as a refreshed and ready person.

I think your poem does a wonderful job of showing appreciation for life's simple blessings. The imagery you use, from feeling the heartbeat to basking in sunlight is beautiful. I like how you thank the Holy Spirit for another day. For me this poem beautifully shows how each day is a gift.

Oh.... so beautiful! I wish I had a six left. Excellent word imagery and presentation. It has a Zen feeling. I write a lot of Japanese poetry and your poem reminds me of it.

Well done!

Oh, sweet pastoral poem! Your imagery of the new day dawning is meticulously laid out and I enjoyed going back and relishing your word painting. A quiet prayer within shows your belief and faith in a Higher Power.

"Good morning Holy Spirit, did I forget to pray?"

``A kind reminder to me, that for all things we should be grateful!
