I enjoyed your Kyrielle. I wish you did have a magic wand to have a world of love for people and of animals. A world where we respected each other's opinions and religions.
Very well stated and presented.
Best wishes and good luck in the contest.
Mary

    Thank you for a kind word.

    Evil rules our world . I don?t understand all the madness.

    I didn?t vote for anyone this time so the contest page remained closed

    I had no idea how the voting was going.

    I just saw now the contest is over and I won the yellow ribbon with 4 votes.

    Thank you if you voted for my entry: IF!

    Keep safe!

and if you did have: a magical wand that could eliminate tears do to sorrow, we wouldn't know of happiness. Why because how do we know happiness, if we do not have sorrows for comparison. Still, I am willing to give it a try should it come to fruition.

    I know I messed up there .. another reviewer wrote a similar comment but referred to grieving when someone dies.

    this was my reply :

    A valid point, .. someone we know sooner or later will die and grieving his/her passing is part of the process of being able to move on eventually.

    When I wrote that line I had just finished writing about animals being abused/ in chains (and even people ) so I was thinking /referring to their sorrow.

    And to Needless sorrow due to violence and war.

    Thanks for taking the time to read and review my wee poem.

This is a well-written kyrielle. The title reminded me of one of my favorite poems by Rudyard Kipling. The text is a nice size. The message is clear and presented well. You are not alone in your wishes. I too wish what you have written. The visual is tragic and fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest. You have a good entry that I will remember.

    Thank you for reviewing my poem . I am glad that my words touch your heart. All the ugly things in this world are caused by mankind.

    It's sad that that our dark side fuels so much of our actions.
    PS. I google the poem 'If" and read it and found a well-written analysis. I enjoyed the read and the good advice /wisdom in the poet's words.

    I knew it! I lived in Germany for 10 years. Ciao!

    Ciao !

    have you still got connections in Germany?

    Have you ever visited the North of Italy?

    Life is not going well here in Europe now due to the gas sanction ..factories are
    closing especially in Germany (it got 45% of its gas from Russia) and in Italy (35%).

    This war is madness.

This is a well done kyrielle. It is a strong repeating line. This shows all the ills in the world that we all wish to correct. Though I do think you can't get rid of all the sorrow because grief of break ups and natural deaths will always be with us. Though getting rid of the needless grief due to violence and war is needed.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.

    When I wrote that line I had just finished writing about animals being abused (and even people ) so I thinking about their sorrow. And yes needless sorrow due to violence and war.

    Thanks for sharing
