The poem presented the age-long question that has continue to defy answers. Man can never know everything on earth no matter how he strives. It was a interesting read. Thanks for sharing!

That is such a deep, wonderfully written poem. I love the way you presented it visually and the image you chose to go with it. All in all, I really enjoyed reading it.

Comment from Phoenix Rising
An excellent introspective flow of verses pondering the age old question of "why". We truly are curious creatures, forever trying to make sense of it all.
My pleasure to read and review.

Comment from Sloane.T
This is beautifully written. Congratulations on the prize! Its focus is the ever present question of "Why?" Our time is short while on this planet. We must leave quickly without all the questions being answered and mysteries being solved. The only representation that is left of our brisk experience is a dash between numbers.

Hi jppoet,
Thank you so much for the kind comments. I haven't posted anything since last July so it was a delightful surprise. Thank you for the comments about the Einstein quote, too. I do love fairy tales.

Comment from pome lover
very good. we try to stay informed, but still...
I used to think a year was actually 12 months - each with it's particular occurrences.
Now, the months whiz by so fast I barely get one month's bills paid before they're upon me again. And birthdays! well, better to forget them. I am trying very hard to stretch out the days-- skip over the bad stuff - and enjoy life to the fullest. (extent that I can)

you're right. there's lots of mirth.

Comment from PoemsOfDD
W.j.debi, I was just taking a stroll and thought I would pop in to have a browse. I'm so glad I did. I really enjoyed reading this Rondel poem. It is questioning and reflective at the same time. I like the repeat line - sometimes I sit and wonder why - and think the way you have punctuated it differently in the end line really adds emphasis to this well written piece. Excellent job! ~DD

Comment from BeasPeas
This is a wonderful Rondel, composed beautifully and I like the topic and the illustration. We ponder these things, especially when we are dropping off to sleep. I think we must enjoy each day we have. These are the most meaningful lines for me--so well done--:
"Sometimes I sit and wonder why
our life's so short on Mother Earth.
Yet, I accept I must comply,
and try to gain my share of mirth
for all those truth's I can unearth."

Comment from Bill Schott
This rondel, I Wonder, contains the required set up for this format and ponders the shortness of our corporeal existence. If it weren't for historical records, our lives would seem even shorter. We are to use our time as wisely as we can, and seek, always, the best in everything.
