Dear Begin Again:
This is one dark & sad cinquain which you've written very well.
"Finding Peace at Last" is the type of poem that, in my view, offers no reprieve. And that is how life is sometimes. The photo you've included with this piece is very affecting and goes well with your words.

Long long ago there were moments in my past when my son died that I thought I was at that point. I thank God every day that he gave me the strength to love my other children and continue on with life. Thanks for the kind review. Carol

Begin Again:
Thanks for writing back with honesty in the midst of words relating something so incredibly painful as the loss of one's child can be.
Yes, thanks to God for allowing you the strength to remain in this world, to love and to live with your other dearest family members.
Take care,
Blue
Comment from barbara.wilkey
Oh my, it's scary to think someone can only feel safe in the arms of death. I want to throw my arms around this person and tell them I love them and it's only a poem. It's a good poem then. It serves it purpose.

Comment from bard owl
Your poem does truly relate the darkest depths of sorrow. And I guess for some soul, it gets so bad, the only savior seems to be death. Excellent expression of emotion in this contest entry. Best of luck to you. Blessings, Linda

I don't know what to say except thank you. Your writing is always so amazing. I am flattered that you found substance in mine. Thank you so much. Your words are worth more than I can express. The stars are merely icing on the cake. Smiles, Carol

This is a very powerful piece and a very sad piece but very often true. I do not see any room for improvement. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from rama devi
Hi Carol, The title made me think this would be docile in tone. How wrong my assumption!
Very powerful ending ---tragic and intense.
No candy coating here.
The picture speaks volumes and the poem echoes them.
Bravo. No nits.
A strong cinquain enter.
Warmly,
rd

Thank you ... A "storm" moved in and I'll need all the guidance I can get.
Thanks so much Rama devi - sincerely appreciate the thoughts. Carol

Storms are often our best teachers.

Comment from tony bronk
One day, regardless of being alone or in a crowded room, and cloaked in joy, death's arms will hold us ... Each and everyone of us. Where there is light, there is darkness lurking 'round the corner. I enjoyed the contrasting thoughts that this poem brings to light; at least I'm glad that I'm able to know the difference. Tony

Thank you so much for the kind comments regarding my poem. I appreciate you taking the time to review. Carol

Sure thing! I like the name Begin Again better than Born Again. It is neutral and individual. Tony

I am the same person that I always was ,,I just had to pick myself up a few times and start over, thus Begin Again. Smiles, Carol

I didn't mean to make this complicated. Just a simple comment. Tony

Sorry..I was just making small tallk

Ok. Np. Tony
Comment from Jeanie Mercer
This is a moving cinquain, well written, simply stated pathos. These are striking words: "Cloaked by sorrow...comforted by death." Best wishes to you, Jeanie Mercer

Thank you very much for your encouraging words. Coming from a poet as yourself, I am extremely flattered. Thanks again Carol

And I am flattered to be called a poet (which Robert Frost labels as "praise words"). Thank you, Carol. Jeanie
Comment from second thought
Yes it is. A very sad statement. However,it goes along with the picture. If one was to rate it according to the emotions it will be a downer. We all know that. Can only say it makes the point.

Comment from AnnaLinda
Begin Again,
Your cinquain poem, "Finding peace at last" Is very dramatic!
I thought this description was interesting: "Cloaked by sorrow"
Death's arm..not too comforting to think about, but she must be in very great despair!
Well done!

Someone accidentally rattled some of my cobwebs this morning and these words tumbled from my mouth. It was a long time ago and I have been blessed many times over since then. Carol
-
Oh, you actually felt like that?
-
When my little boy died there were some dark moments when I didn't want to live, but I remembered that I other little children that needed my and I prayed for the strength to do what was right. God helped me and he blessed me with another child. Have you ever read my story "Butterflies from Heaven?"
-
Oh, Yes.... I could not imagine how sorrowful and difficult that time was for you.
Thank God for His healing power and you, I'm quite sure, hold to the hope of the day when you will see your child again.
