Comment from T B Botts

Excellent

Hello Roy,
Well done on your quatern. I liked the way it flowed and the subject matter. In these trying times it's easy to wonder how long God will tarry before He acts. I suppose I should be glad that He hasn't acted yet, but gives us all an opportunity to address the issues like hunger in this world. Thanks for sharing.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Well done with your Quatern of questions for us to ponder on Roy. The how's and why's of life, of the world are questions seemingly mankind has no answers for. I liked this one Roy, very different.
cheers,
valda

Roy, I know you are a prolific poet which makes it hard for an old coot like me to read them all. But I must say I think this is one of the best you have written. In your questions, you have found so many truths. This is very well presented. Terry.

This is such a lovely poem that begins full of wonder and devolves into a mournful cry to God. A woeful plea of "why have you forsaken us?" such a beautiful poem <3

Your poem was well done, Roy. The picture was beautiful.
You lines fit the quatern style well. You asked great questions
which gave readers much to think about. Your lines read
smoothly with good rhymes and great imagery. I have one
last question ~ How many will be ready when the second
coming is here?
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Repetition is one of my favourite literary devices. It's very efficient in this poem and has made me think of the many things that are going on right now. Not only out in the world, but also inside my very soul.
I know I'm not doing enough to help, there's always more...
Thanks so much for sharing.

Very nice Quatern. You speak of the many questions we mortals ponder yet will never know the answer to. I liked your choice of refrain line...

Seems "evil eddie" has messed with your author's notes: "It has eight syllables for each line and a set rhyme scheme. this one is aabb.
nd the 1st stanza�??�?�¢??s 4th line is 4th stanza�??�?�¢??s first."

If you get a moment, you might like to clean that up a bit!

The htlm in Notes should be edited for clarification.

Good questions posed in this poem about how long before the end of time arrives.

Strong rhymes include beach/reach and claims/maims.
