'Prayer for the Times', is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill. It was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work.

Outstanding, your poem reflects my heart, and paints a beautiful picture in my mind. We all pray for peace, hopefully God will hear us. We need unity not division. Lets unite to fix the problems we agree on and worry about the others later.

This is a great poem for the 30 syllable contest. The rhymes are excellent, I just think that bear calm should maybe be bearing calm for the metre and for conservation of tense between the two verses. On the plus side, you have create multiple rhymes that don't detract from the story line. Well done.

Hello Mystery Writer!
What an outstanding poem/prayer for these times!
Dawn/Morn always brings with her a plethora of positive possibilities. We could all certainly use that magic of "needed smiles." (I am certain I see them everyday - even behind these @$@$@$!!! masks!)

Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

This is very lovely, and so timely and relevant to so many who are really struggling in the world right now. The serenity and peace of the image also contributes well. Well written.

A beautiful prayer and one that resonates with us all. This past year has been so different from what we are used to and it has been hope and trust in the Lord that has kept us going.

Lovely prayer poem in these two 15-syllable stanzas that meet the contest challenge so very well. Yes, may peace "flood hearts with needed smiles!" Best wishes in the contest!

what a beautiful poem you have written. The image and the words that are written are very meaningful. The warmth of the morning will bring peace, falling rain and gentle breezes.

Your well constructed poetic vers ebbs and flows off the tongue and the rhyme is perfectly set in the stanzas. The Image complements your poem perfectly. Don
