You have done an excellent job of fulfilling the prompt, conveying a powerful, uplifting message about life after the pandemic. YES! We have to look for those silver linings; they ARE there. You have a misspelled word in line 17.

Things are definitely changing. There are some good things coming from this and a lot of self awareness that I never thought we've have. You did a great job with this.

Comment from A. Willow Bends
I love the optimism of your poem. The flow of it is wonderful and the visual chosen is perfect. The overall effect is what this particular contest is all about and I think you have truly nailed it here. Good Luck. I regret not having a six. My favorite stanza is the next to last. Wonderful words of wisdom set down poetically. Great job.

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Yes, we must not focus on the dark clouds for they are not stationary, but always on the move. Right now they cover us, so we hunker down. No matter what happens, God is still in control.
Great writing!

Comment from Therese Caron
Very well written poem about life after COVID-19. I hope things will get better, the way they did after September 11, but this time we need to make this feeling of togetherness last. My favorite stanza is the second to last. All of the stanzas flow well, and the rhyming is good also.Best of luck to you in the contest!

Comment from harmony13
The author's words are engaging, clear, creative and hopeful. The reader pondered on the theme of this poem. I really liked the last stanza with not focusing on the dark cloud and keep up the courage along with good advice. Thank you for a well written poem.
May you be well and safe.

Comment from Drew Delaney
An excellent poem showing a silver lining. It's hard to believe that the water has become clear and the smog has dissipated in a relatively short time. I wish we could figure a way to keep the pollution down.
Well done.

I like the message conveyed in this. I believe that this goes along with the saying that says, this to shall pass. The only guarantee each day that we have is that air that we breath that day. Thanks for sharing this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

This poem, Gliding the Clouds, brings us all back around to the knowledge that this too will pass and we can look at the positive things in our world again.
