Comment from Kelly Hanna
This poem is a great reminder to not focus so much on the negative aspects of life, but to remain focused on the positivity that surrounds us. We can find this in the smaller but most important parts of life. I really enjoyed how beautifully the piece flowed and rhymed. It has a soft, reassuring feel to it. Great job!

Thank you, Kelly. I really appreciate your comments.
Comment from rama devi
well voiced. I totally agree. Happiness is a choice.
Fine flow and rhyming and phonetics in phrasing with alliteration, etc. I especially liked these four lines:
Good attitude, a hopeful heart will tear away the veils
designed to keep our focus from the joyousness of days,
A baby's laugh, an old friend met, an unexpected smile
exemplify the simple things that make a day worthwhile.
YES!~
Warmly, rd

An amazing write and an amazing picture. Life is precious and we do not always walk in the sunlight, sometimes we are down in the dumps all part of human nature and things that happen, but we bounce back and realise just how fortunate we are to have been blessed with life.

You give good advice in this poem. Take joy from the small things in life. The simple things we sometimes forget about with all the mayhem and sorrow in the wide world.
Good luck and keep writing

This poem touches on a delicate cored -- and gives a valuable lesson on needs to learn. It is in the small things that we find joy-- by the grace of God. Beautiful and moving.

Comment from nancyjam
This poem echoes my thoughts. We shouldn't wallow
in misery (even though it is overwhelming some times)
Your thoughts on finding the beautiful things in life
ring true.
There is joy to be found in the simple things.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this lovely poem.

Comment from tfawcus
I wish I had a sixth star for this one. It has such a powerful message in these days that are so often filled with doom and gloom and negativity. Your picture illustrates the power of beauty in a way that is amplified by simple and everyday illustration in your second verse. There are many good things in this world to enjoy, and our time is limited!

All the more reason to see the beauty. I'm happy you like this poem, and that matters more than a six to me. Thank you, Tony.

"Simplicity", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but unfortunately I only have fives left. I look for ward to seeing your next post.
