Congratulations on gaining a special mention with this relaxing poem. You've described to a 't' how appreciation of nature can bring mind and body together in spiritual calm.

    Thank you very much! Especially for reviewing for two cents! I appreciate it. I saw your message before I even saw the message about Honourable Mention, so it was quite a surprise. Yes, nature is so restorative, which you would have again experienced on your recent hike.
    Thanks again.

This acrostic poem, SERENITY, follows the vertical, first-letter theme and describes the calm which allows for mental rehabilitation, especially after the chaos of some of life's dramas.

I'd never stopped to think about all the feelings that come from serenity. Your verbs express them well, and your picture is a great example for serenity. One of my favorites was "energizes like the joy of laughter."

I enjoyed reading your poem. What a beautiful lake you can see. Your writing is light and airy and left me feeling peaceful. The words you chose and pace added to my enjoyment.

When we were living in Germany, I would see swans all over, not so often in the US. Your contest entry did the beauty of swans justice. Yes, as humans we fail at peace and serenity. Good luck with the contest.

What a lovely picture, Wendy. Your acrostic on Serenity is well done, describing how it can be found by enjoying the beauties of nature. Looking forward to spring and being able to enjoy getting outside again.

    Thank you Anne. Lovely review. Serenity of mind and spirit is very much needed, and Psalm 23 reminds us of our need for still waters.

Water is where i find my peace as well. I can't wait for the ice and snow to melt so I can return to my deck again. When I stand or sit there in the early morning, watching the sun peek over the horizon and listen to the birds, all my troubled thoughts are left sitting inside.

Smiles, Carol

    Thank you so much Carol. Lovely review, and I hope spring comes quickly where you are.
    Yes, you need respite from all your troubles. I could not believe how Matt?s "friend" acted. Is she well again now?

Beautiful! Great photo. Birds and animals do soothe us because they don't worry like humans. When we need to chill we watch avian antics and laugh or ducks swimming. We are on major flood watch, again!
