This is a lovely descriptive poem for the Faith Poetry Contest. I hope it resonated with the judges. It did with me. I'm thankful for all our Father's creative beauty.

You would love it - and I am sure a few days spent by the lake would do you a world of good, as it did for me. Just watching the ducks, pelicans and sunsets. Our cabin was less than two metres from the shore. A very lovely review - many thanks for it!

This is a very fabulous poem of praise to our father who paints these kind of scenes every day for us. I enjoyed reading it very much. It flows very well when read aloud allowed your descriptions of that beautiful sunset breathtaking. As is the photo. Patricia .

Hey, you! Look at you hiding this penchant for poetry all this time! You're remarkably talented with everything you do, I guess. No surprise there. This is especially beautiful - the meter, the gentle rhyme. It gave me the feeling of water lapping up onto the shore. VERY lovely surprise, this! xoxo

I am not writing much poetry these days (it doesn't come as naturally to me) - this is only my seventh one for this year. I am very pleased you like it. The sunset was stunning, totally breathtaking, and begged for a poem to celebrate it! Our cabin was less than two metres from the shore of the lake, so we had a fantastic view. Thanks again.

Ciao !
The photo is stunning and one just wants to be wrapped in all that tranquility.
Your enchanted lake, is food for the soul. You are truly blessed
Your delightful poem captures the beauty of this place.
PS; you should mention in the notes the name of the lake.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. Yes, blessed indeed. It is Lake Tuggerah, in Australia. I have added it to the notes. Thanks again,

That crimson is stunning 😍
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Sad to think but too many of we never take in the beauty given us for we walk-about with faithless blinders of perhaps believing all of this came about on its own without Divinity.

Faith and inspiration will always be found in nature! And I enjoyed the way you approached this prompt by using the imagery of artistry in the most stunning and creative way. It's almost unreal the drama that can be depicted in those brush strokes. Well done and good luck, Wendy. Debbie.

Such an appropriate title for this 'faith' contest poem, Wendy. Every sunrise and sunset is so different and your words paint a picture of tranquil beauty and absolute peace. A lovely presentation, and also congrats on the recognition for Jonathan's stories. Cheers
