Comment from Jessica Wheeler
A genuinely moving and thought-provoking poem. I thought you structured your words to fit the criteria of this type of poetry, brilliantly. The last two lines of each stanza created an emotional build up for me, that was satisfied when brought home in the third stanza- it felt like an orchestral crescendo! Choosing a way to walk, avoiding tempting side roads, and continuing on despite uncertainties - Blind faith in a nut shell!
Beautiful writing, thank you for sharing.

Your Baccresieze poem is thought-provoking as it takes faith to turn over the reins to God to lead. But as you show us, when we tried to lead our own lives, we really are unsure where we are going.

I haven't tackled this form, yet it seems complicated but you've done well with it JLR in this poem of the choice you made to walk with faith 'unsure to where'.
Cheers

The author's words are engaging, descriptive and creative. As I read
these words I thought about a beautiful prayer that is entitled
A Prayer of Unknowing by Thomas Merton! It is online and you'll can google it. The words of this poem resonate with me as faith is an important part of one's journey. Great poem! Have a great week!

I enjoyed your poem. Excellent work, and very nicely written. I liked the form that you wrote your poem in, it was interesting. Faith is a leap for most of us. The way of believing in faith is through God, and is the way you can achieve what you're going for. Your poem read well, and flows nicely. Thank you for sharing.

Life is a learning journey. Man being too proud to ask for His help. Once we belong to Him our eyes are opened to the real world and we have His protection. Nicely written and honest. K xx

Hi Jim,
This poem seems to be one of doubt mixed with faith. The speaker knows he is being lead somewhere, but doesn't know exactly where. Though, I think he's sees booze is not on the right path
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Joan, I think any vice that dampens the Light that shines from within is made manifest by losing an inner moral compass away from the Promise of Life Eternal.

That is true, Jim.

What an interesting form! It's going on my list, and one day I will present it to the muse and beseech her help in attempting one!
Faith is a leap for most of us. We may well believe...but just where the path will take us depends a great deal on what barricades we put up for ourselves along the way!
