Wishful Thinking

It is very difficult to make a cohesive thought work with a 1-6-1 poem and have all three lines rhyme. You have succeeded in producing one that is not only cohesive but profound. Wishful thinking is a wonderful title for this deep little poem.

Well done. I appreciate the heart and the message. Many have lost their lives to provide peace. I am thankful for the peace I have. Thank you for your writing.

I wish I could tell you what these words mean to me. It's almost a prayer. It is a prayer! It is hard to comment on such few words but the
words you chose are outstanding. Good for you!

Comment from RoostyNester
Nice poem with a deep message to the reader. Well done as a 1-6-1 syllable count poem. Your message carries weight, for it relates to the wars our country is going through now. Terrorist invading our country and killing our people, is a mockery of our Freedom. All Americans should feel safe within their own country. Allowing the enemies to invade and take away our rights is incomprehensible. The worst part is, they are protected...we are not!! I liked your poem! Good luck with the contest!

Comment from TKField
Relevant and timely plea for an end to violence. I'm not sure if prayer alone will get it done, but it 's a good place to start. Maybe one day we won't need a poem like this and that will be a good thing.

This is a beautiful piece on the continued killing in our society! Being that this writing prompt was quite a challenge, I'm sure, it works. However, does please rhyme with peace or cease?

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 1-6-1 poem. We truly have to earnestly pray for peace and that the killings must come to an end. Good luck with the contest.
