If I Am Alone

Comment from richie b
Your poem is correct in suggesting being alone
brings us closer to God. Getting away from the noise,
clearing our mind, allows us that special communion
with our Creator.
Your words bring the reader into the Light, thank you
for sharing.
Blessings,

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
His glory is indeed in all that there is to see. All creation declares the glory of the Lord. I love how you've presented that point here with beautiful and descriptive wording. Thanks for sharing this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

You took me to a place I love to be. In solitude away from everything, just me my thoughts and prayers. The picture compliments your words. I'm not much for form so I can't comment on that. But I know what I like.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That is a lovely rhondeau poem, and on a subject that many can relate to. When we feel we're alone with no one to share our thoughts and fears with, we find that place that takes us nearer to God. Then we aren't alone any more. Well done, this is a lovely contest entry. Good luck! :)) Sandra xx

Lovely poem. Lovely image. They work perfectly together. You made excellent use of the rondeau form. The repetition sounds natural and not at all contrived. A great entry for the contest. Good luck.

Comment from Bill Schott
This rondeau, If I Am Alone, has the right set up and finds the poet making the most of solitude and a commune with nature and God when the situation presents itself.
