This work has reached the exceptional level

This Letting Go poem for contests reflects on inner struggles rather than the usual letting go of material things , relationships, or loved ones in death. The point is it is a 'letting go" that must be repeated many time over a lifetime. You let yourself go free with writing style, using a bit of various techniques and it turned out great. Good luck.

If unforgiveness lurks in the soul the mind permeates the thoughts of that evil deed until the pain in your heart cannot absorb it any more and redemption is all that will save you from the pitfalls of life.

I enjoyed the creative and artistic approach and how you incorporated such variety into the writing of this piece. I love how your 'please- anyone... I'm afraid.' was in smaller font and italicized to stress the tentativeness and smallness of one in fear. Beautiful message and the last line 'for with regret, I prayed.' shows the heartfelt sincerity of one who recognizes their need for forgive. Excellent work ... Best wishes in the contest! :)

Great writing!!

I liked this lines:"Yet, the price for all my foolish stumbles,
has been paid for me- without me earning.
Though beneath my feet the whole world crumbles,
The Spirit's touch, responds to my yearning."

This poem takes your voice on a journey from failure to forgiveness, from the verge of 'return from diamond, back to coal.' It is in this blackest moment he calls for help and through spirit is saved by forgiveness. You imply that he's been in the dark place before, and that it is in the letting go and accepting grace that he is saved. Your format is well suited to movements of his moods in this frame of mind. Godd luck in the contestm.!

Nice contest entry with good imagery throughout the poem My favorite part:Condemnation permeates this guilty hideous hole, my strangulated faith seeks breath within my wicked soul.
Best of luck in the contest
Blessings, Rouskin
