This meets the contest requirements beautifully as you deliver a technically sound 5 Line Poem. The content is inspiring and thoroughly uplifting, leaving the reader with a sense of peace and hope. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

I know I asked elsewhere what is the official Summer Vacation start and finish?
-
Our last day was in the third week of May (that was finals). For the students, they start back the 14th (for some it's the 6th or others in-between depending on the school district). :)

Thanks for the info can start putting my stuff up again with rewards now.

Well done. Still waiting for your other story to return. I messaged followers in my (sankey I think) profile thoughts if interested. Great layout and a goo9d message in here. No spags.

Yes, doing what I can on the story front, but I had teacher meetings all last week (for which I had to prepare the week before and this week are the parent and student orientations....then school starts next week...so, I'm kinda busy - LOL!! :) I'll get there, though, just as soon as I can get two of my boys off to college/grad school. :) ;) ;)
Thanx so much for your review and for those wonderful stars, ma'am!! They are a bright spot amidst all this crazy business -- take care! ;) Yvette

So tell me when does Vacation end?

For the students? That would be the 14th here (for some it's the 6th or other in-between depending on the school district). :)
Comment from Agate Lucas
Very moving and touching! The image that goes with it is absolutely perfect too! This is just a bit of advice, but I think the poem would (maybe?) read better if you suppressed the comma on the fourth line (it seemed a bit strange to me to have a break one syllable before the end of the line, especially in such a dreamy poem where the rhythm flows so well). In any case, great poem! (Also, I'm happy to have found another scientist; I'm currently studying applied math).

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I like this. I get some alliteration with "soul" and "silence" as emphasized words. It seems it is easier to comprehend the essence of eternity of we learn how to be silent and listen. So this poem seems to suggest the importance of silence, or learning how to be reverent, even. It seems like you didn't use periods for a reason, although you definitely capitalized independent sentences and used a comma in a good place after "unyielding," so maybe add the periods back in after "silence" and "eternity." But it's up to you!

Wonderful thing about poetry is that we just throw it out and there and step back -- the reviews I enjoy so much because there is so much information sometimes that i would not have considered! ;) Thanx for the review! ;) Yvette
Comment from rama devi
Lovely contemplative write. A high theme, portrayed with lucidity. Interesting alliterative word choices in the penultimate line. Untouched and unyielding. Indeed, eternity lives within the still heart. Lovely presentation. Eloquent voicing. Good word economy. Bravo and good luck.
Warmly, rd

Comment from Amale Rhodes
This poem is timely as I had a conversation about eternity today. How wonderfully put. The concept of a soul and of eternity is captivating, and you've captivated me here. Wonderful read!

Comment from lyenochka
A lovely spiritual reflection. Yes, the soul "holds eternity" because it is immortal. Sometimes, while the soul owner still lives on earth, there are a great deal of time lacking quiescence. But I guess the time beyond this life, there will be more. Love that word!
