This is a very strong contest entry. I love the idea of an ode to this day, that's perfect. We should all be thankful for a new day. Your poem flowed well and the rhyming scheme is very good. Good luck.

An excellent ode for the day at hand. Appreciation for life grows when the pace of life slows, and we have time to create.

Good luck in the contest!

Cheers,
DW

Debbie, I truly enjoyed your mono-rhyme poem. Each verse was interestingly worded and the message in each was distinctive. The last verse is neat.

Appreciation of life grows, when the pace which we live in slows. Sitting quietly in repose, artistic works I will compose. Good job, Carolyn

Oh, Debbie. You are so right, my friend. When we do find some precious time to slow down and just breathe, we can be very appreciative of our surroundings and our creative spirit soars.

The wish is one that should be used often...enjoying the serenity of a day.
There are those who say time speeds up when you get older...I am convinced that it our brain that slows down, so that it only appears that time is passing quickly.

"Appreciation of life grows
When the pace which we live in slows"

I wholeheartedly agree!

Oh is it not more than true, we get so busy we just simply don't have time to enjoy the good things in our lives. God in His mercy sometimes allows things that slow our pace so we can see what we are missing. Great piece and thought. God loves you and I do too.
