Nice AABB rhyme sceme! Need I say I agree with your theme? It's nice to drop out of the rat race...

Gain some perspective on living...as opposed to making a living!

Balance in life is a good thing.

You did a great job expressing your thoughts and feelings
about nature and God, Belinda. Your lines read well with
great imagery. Perhaps it's just me, but I don't believe
wood/book rhyme or top/chaos. They have similar
vowel sounds, but the ending throws it off for me.
However, I'm not the judge here, so I won't deduct
stars.

A walk along a quiet wood.
A gently winding, babbling brook.
The quiet of a dawning day.
The prayer for help along the way.

Treasured faces of loved ones dear
Bring contentment true and hearts of cheer.
A winding trail to a mountain top
Can rid the mind of most chaos.

Intentional time with Nature's God
Brings enlightenment to a lowly sod.
When neglecting time I find it true
That peace and joy slip away from you.

Best wishes, Jan

This is a very beautiful and very well written rhyming poem you have penned for the contest. You used very good descriptive and good rhyming words. It made me want to take a walk where all the beautify of God is. It is peaceful to walk and talk to Him when we are out in nature and see His clouds, trees, birds and everything He created! love and blessings, Teri

Really lovely. Your words flow really nicely and you paint a clear picture both of the walk in the woods as well as the message of how find peace. I, too, need time to be quiet and contemplative in order to have peace and joy in my life. Your poem brought the contemplative up in me today. Thanks for sharing, and great job!

An excellent rhyming poem written with skill. The peace you mention is both literal, within nature, and spiritual, and they are linked. Your rhyme and metre are both smooth and effective. Best wishes for your entry.
