Wonderful spiritual poem and words of hope for the crisis we face. The photo is beautiful and befitting of the poem. Good luck in the contest. Stay well.

This is an interesting poem form that is new to me as well. Such a beautiful presentation for the Silver lining contest, and lovely positive thoughts. Love your last line. Some beautiful things are coming out of this crisis. Thank you.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I have never heard of rhis poetic form before, but I really like it! You've given us a lot of food for thought in a poem that flows smoothly and naturally. My favorite stanza:

Attend to our reckless habits
avoid falling into unhealthy ways.
assist one and all on this planet
allow us to live our prescribe days.

This would be showing neighborly love.

This is also a new form of poetry for me. It's a bit complicated but I think you have done very well with it for the writing prompt entry. The photo is intriguing because the 'angel wings' can clearly be detected. Your message clearly contains excellent advice, as well. Best wishes for the contest!

A very well-written poem about the silver lining that usually brightens a period of darkness and gives us hope that things will become better and the troubles will be forgotten.

Lovely poem describing a frightening time. Everyone is on edge about this virus, most people are trying to do the right things, but there's that sense of the unknown that troubles everyone. If we all stick together, work together, keep our faith, and trust in God, we will make it somehow. Beautiful poem, lovely image. Best of luck in the contest.

That "silver lining" is a must, especially during such times. Those who lack it need to pray for it--and for the strength to abandon bad habits and not start new ones! Your poem is very well-written and wise.

It is a neat form, and you did a lovely job on this. The syllable count is not mentioned so I imagine it is not strictly required. I love the uplifting tone of this poem especially.

We were brought up to believe behind every clod during hard times is a silver lining to enrich our hopes and dreams for the future.
