What delightful, moving use you have made of your twenty-five syllables!
Your thought-provoking poem conveys a powerful message about appreciation for everyday life's "delightful monotony"!

HOw true is this poetic sentiment expressed here eloquently in the 25 syllable poem - superb use of language 'grand exploits' and 'delightful monotony'

beautiful Yvette. the image suits it so well. being a musician, i can really relate to this idea.

i've noticed lately that nature seems to resonate to the key of E Major. Kind of wierd - i had my tuner at the trailer and noticed that the mosquitos buzz in E, the crickets crock in E, the planes going over are in E. Kind of makes a person wonder

A very well-written twentyfive syllable poem about finding harmony in our daily lives can only be find when we seek life's melody deep inside our soul to find ultimate grace.

Excellent use of a minimal number of syllables. The expression "delightful monotony" is interesting and makes me stop and think about my opinion of monotony. I would rarely describe it as "delightful," but the grace we find day-to-day in our lives is something we rarely thank God for.
Thank you for making me think.

The simple daily chores of life are often the backbone of our memories and those peaceful times we reflect on in the future, we appreciate peace when there is none in our lives and realise it is such a gift, I enjoyed your words here, we should not underestimate the routine things in life that give us joy everyday, love Dolly x

This is lovely and very true. I find the older I get the more I enjoy the small things in life. You describe that very well here and with a lot of emotion. Thanks for sharing this and have a great day
