Rhonda,
You give a good image of Heaven and a list of good things on Earth that are provided by the Divine One in the group of aabb quatrains. The rhymes are unforced and the meter smooth. I like the artwork.
Keep writing and stay heatlhy
Goood luck in the contest.

Thank you for the lovely review, Joan! I appreciate how you focused on detail in the format of the poem, and on the content. I liked the artwork, too. Piques the imagination, or so was the point behind it.
Thanks again,
Rhonda

Comment from Tina Crute
What I like about this:
First impression was...this is going to be lovely, because it looked that way.
I like the matching background and font. I like when authors or poets think about color as it sets the mood.
You explore your imagination and then admit we won't know it all until we do and that's okay, because we are promised wonderful things. I like the continuity of the theme from beginning to end!
Best to you in your future writing!

This is a serene oasis of grace and faith that fit so nicely into my daily need to remember there is an eternal wonder after life's joys and hardships! I particularly enjoyed your engaging the senses ~~ I think we could all insert our favorite joys to our senses! Your final verse is a testament to us all. Believe and this is within our grasp!
Beautifully written.

Comment from estory
What I thought really interesting about this poem was the images that you set in heaven, but really speak of life, the baby's breath, the apple pies, the moments shared between souls. Perhaps this is the definition of heaven. estory

Comment from Tom Horonzy
What do you think of Heaven's scent, what aroma's there?
Will it be made of baby's breath wafting through the air?
Nice thought. May it be true yet let's remember he has dominions,
telestial, terrestrial and celestial for His reasons. Not all will be paved in gold and yet no one will be disappointed to where they are appointed for it will be similar to the life they lived while in the flesh.

-Very nice artwork and presentation, Rhonda.

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine poem, Rhonda----and an uplifting one, although can we get rid of the smell of pumpkin pie? Not crazy about pumpkin pie, but the rest sound good!

Lol, picked my favorite smell, though I don't care for the taste. I'll make it pecan, just for you!
-
Can you make it cherry? That would be just grand, Rhonda. If I'm honest, I don't mind the smell either
-
Wow, Mike, I've already changed it once, lol.
-
Oh, okay, pecan will surfice, I guess!

Lol!

Oh wow, Barbara, thank you for sharing your experience with me. I felt so out of my comfort zone writing it, but felt compelled to do so. The fact that it spoke to you was worth my discomfort many times over!!
Take care,
