Your poem delivers a powerful message for a stress free, healthy lifestyle. Down time is essential, and you've included several ideas the allow you to sit peacefully and reflect. My favorite is...viewing the bright blue sky.

Wish I could do those things without biopsies and hospital trips interfering. What happened to those days when these things came so natural? Now, I have a deeper appreciation of them.

This is a beautiful nonet with clear, effective description. There is a philosophical statement that quickly zeros in on something concrete that the reader can easily grasp, then it moves back up to a broad view of the sky. The movement and change in focus worked well for me.

This is sweet and lovely. I like nonets. Part of it is the shape. I feel like I have really accomplished something when I reach the end. You have a good weekend. Karen

I think sometimes we just simply need a break from what we're doing and take a rest from the herdy Gerdy of life. It's a marvellous thing indeed, you've written a beautifully crafted nonet Pat, well done, blessings Roy

I felt refreshed after reading your lovely poem, Patricia. The sky blue background compliments the closing thoughts you put into your final lines. Well done.

    Thank you so much for your lovely review but I think when you did the first line you said dear patriotic and I think you meant to say, dear Patricia.

I want to just jump into your poem and relax Patricia as this is how your words made me feel. I am lucky enough to have as much downtime as I want, but instead I put pressure on myself to achieve something everyday and if I don't I feel like I have failed. I enjoyed your uplifting words, love Dolly x x x
