Being in solitude every day even for a few minutes is so beneficial for clarity, etc.
I enjoyed your Solitude contest entry and wish you the very best in the upcoming contest.
Good luck mystery writer,

Comment from Wendy G
How very true. I identify with every age and stage. I love solitude _ time to think, reflect, meditate, and be at peace. Very well wriotten and presented. Carefully crafted with words appropriate to each age and stage of every woman's life. Best wishes for the contest.

Comment from Dawn Munro
It's funny, really, but I enjoyed my solitude when I was younger -- not so much a lot of the time now that I am older. But then again, the pandemic probably has a lot to do with it because I was ultra-cautious and rarely ventured out at all.
Your poem is marvelous, and that closing couplet is sage advice.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
I think you captured very well the tragedy of our lives: "A woman only has so much to give.
In youth, she needs some time to find her way -
to contemplate, discern how best to live,
to make the most of ev'ry blessed day." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and the contest.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I enjoyed the sentiment here in your positive poem about solitude for the contest.
This line is out of metre:
(But THIS CHApter of life can be a time)
Suggest:
This chapter in my life can be a time)
Love Dolly x

Time alone during these days is hard to find and something to be cherished. What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

I'm not a woman, but these are wise words, poetically stated. I'd rather have my wife once more, but now I'm a bit more used to being alone. God still has much for us to do.

I enjoyed reading your work. It popped up as I was navigating, and it seemed to draw me in. Many women can certainly identify with your thoughts and words. I have always appreciated solitude. Thanks for sharing.
