wooden sea- rafts float as the hardest beads the mildest prayers offer layered dahlias for Holy Queen's regatta ~ Dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima's 90th Anniversary POTD/POTW ~ For Richard Lamoreaux's Poem of the Day Contest ------- I was pleasantly glad to receive both awards for this short form. It may have touched the spirit of those who celebrate Mary's devotion as a Mother. Resubmitted 4/11/2019

The core of your poem is expressed beautifully through intangible images and feelings. Phrases that I like:"where the hardest beads and mildest hint of song offer layered dahlias." A spiritual lift!
