Comment from Iza Deleanu
Wow, a fortress in my mind - this is so interesting as an image. But the faith it's the one that keeps this sanctuary going. "As one should never be defined,
to be disabled and confined,
But all wise options should embrace,
to live by faith, in wisdom's face,
and with trust's presence be aligned.
I build a fortress..."

Comment from Saria/Shreyamsi
Your poem is indeed a great advice, we all need to build a fortress that shields us from ignorance and faith leads the way. Your poem flows smoothly and words are well chosen. Thankyou for sharing!

Comment from Gee
Nice Rondeau
I didn't notice this in the recent rondeau contest.
I think this would have won.
None-the-less, thanks for another enjoyable poem and sharing with us.

Comment from NANCY V. FORREST
Just came upon this skillfully written piece. The metaphor of a fortress for the mind is a compelling one. The photo is a wonderful visual support for the theme.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
"I build a fortress for my mind,
lest foes will breach, a weakness find."
This is truly meant to grab your reader's immediate attention. It is a powerful beginning.
You will not fall into old ways, as you have built a strong fortress. That fortress is one of strong faith in God.
Wonderfully put to help others to build their own fortress.
Blessings,
Mary

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Fabulous! I wish I hadn't wasted all my six stars.
I don't know the rules of poetry, but I know that I liked that - a lot.
Great work.
Good luck with it.

Comment from dragonpoet
This is a well written rondeau of how faith is a fortress that keeps you strong from returning to bad ways that it got you to move away from.
The pictures reminds me of Cinderella's Castle in Disneylland/Disney World
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from lancellot
This is a very interesting poem. I guess it all depends on your personal chosen point of view. Does the fortress you build confine you, or does it keep the bad elements out and you in a more pure, faithful form?
Very interesting indeed.

Comment from Janetsue
This is an excellent rondeau with a spiritual message and added citation of Scripture in the Author's Note. Faith is a precious blessing. In troubled times, more people open their hearts to the comfort that is waiting for them. I am glad you shared this personal message, Roy. You never know who will be reading it with new understanding.
