This poem has the correct number of syllables for the 15 syllable poetry contest and reads well. It is a good idea for a short poem and offers consolation to all those in pain or fear at the moment - well done.
Good luck with it

A great deal is implied in this short poem. The illustration suggests power and calm. The presentation of the text suggests lines from a newspaper, almost like a headline.

Amen!! That is pretty much all I need to write! A great 15 syllable poem and it is EVERYTHING. The whole truth. We are so loved by God and his word tells us to fear not because he is with us. We are his child! How good is that! If I could suggest anything, maybe I would have chosen a background and image with more impact colours (deeper blue ocean with sunrise/set colours) instead of subtle, gentle blue hues because I feel your poem has impact. Love it!

Very nicely done, J. I like how you have published your 15 syllables, leading into the foreground from a fine artwork choice.

Just one typo in the subtitle (15 sylabble (syllable) poem

Wishing you all the best with the Contest Committee. :))

Very creative with your two syllable lines. They came together with a satisfying meaning. I always like the song Be Not Afraid and this says it with just a few words.
