You have mastered the Minute poem well here and produced a thought provoking poem - well done. The rhyming is great accept that you have used 'me' twice as an end rhyme in the first stanza. I would have tried to avoid doing this if possible.
Good luck in the contest

    Thank you. I was struggling with a way to use a different word but couldn't and keep the same idea. Thanks for seeing that. I value your input.

This minute poem, Contemplation, has the proper formatting and gives credit for healing to the simple relaxation and disengagement from the pressures that deplete the soul.

Minute poems are usually written in iambic metre Michelle, but this is probably not required for this contest, however it would help your poe to flow if the metre was consistent. I always think metre in minute poems adds the magic, I wish you luck, love Dolly x x x

This a well-written poem. I like the way you placed the words; each line is a quick response to God's ability to help in times of need. I wish you the best in the contest.

I could relate to your poem. It's well written and every word was well chosen. I was thinking of panic attacks I've had, or life after my bad ex husband. It is for the reader to wonder. Best wishes!

Quite a mystery pome, and if you say that love heals everything: "But contemplation drew You near.

You took the fear.

What did I hear?

Silence was dear." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.
