Hi Jewell,
You dance a wicked beauty of a dance with your words in this one. God is a tough subject to get to and make any sense of and yet here you write with determined effort to get your point across poetically...Well done! xoxo Kiwi

I need to fix the meter and will do so later. It's surely killing the meter readers!! Nit thanks for reviewing anyway!

LOL. You did say "loose rhyme no meter".
Comment from Laurie Clayton
This is a beautifully crafted free form poem (I think?) with some exceptionally evocative imagery.
I especially liked;
[But mouths of fools eat folly
Empty words and faithless ways
[A broken heart laid open
For all the world to view ]
Thank you for sharing.

Beautifully written verse. Your words are well thought out. Your rhyme flows nicely to tell a message of the importance of love in our lives. Great message, enjoyable write.

Hello. Thanks so much.:)
Comment from BothePo8
This is a very pretty poem about spirituality. It is clear, focused and well thought out. However, the poem lacks consistency in rhyme ( eye/find, you/truth ) and in rhythm both within stanzas and between stanzas. If you count the syllables in each line you can get the feel of this inconsistency....The first stanza has an 8/6/6/8 syllable count, the second stanza has a 8/6/8/6, the third 7/6/8/6, the fourth 7/6/8/6, the fifth 8/6/7/6, the 6th 7/7/6/6, the 7th 7/6/7/7, the 8th 8/8/8/6, the 9th 8/7/7/7, 10th 7/5/7/6 and the 11th 7/6/7/6..............These differences are not great and generally the poem flows very well but it is my belief that inconsistent rhythm is kind of like driving down a beautiful but bumpy country road. The scenery is wonderful but the bumps are distracting.....I wish you the best...Bo

Comment from amada
I like this poem on faith. It takes a different perspective to the ones I have read for the contest. I like this lines the most "Out of our hearts spring fountains Of revelations strong ."

Comment from IanC
So many messages ring throughout your piece. Words of love, understanding, truth and integrity. Every stanza has its own profound message. Well done, Ian

Comment from LC_Cooper
I liked your strong command of this form, but being relatively new to writing poetry, I had a little trouble with the flow and meter at times. What form is it? I counted several different sets of syllables across the stanzas. Is this classified as free verse or is there a specific form? Please excuse my ignorance. I thought you did a very good job conveying the passion and sentiment of your subject. Well done!
With kind regards,
LC Cooper
