Thank you Ben Colder, I am so blessed everyday, I wouldn't know what to do with more. :-) Just kidding. You are always so encouraging. I looked up the site you provided but haven't submitted anything yet. (Not sure where I would find the time to do another writing site) Have you ever submitted anything?
:-) Carolyn

No, not yet. I'm like you. Fan Story keeps me drained but I am thinking to pull away for awhile. However, for those member friends, I hang in here trying to encourage.

I love your work and your reviews are so encouraging. When all is said and done, it is great to write 'here' but each of us should strive to be published, for others to read as well.
Self publishing is very expensive, and no one has offered to do it otherwise, at this time. :-) Carolyn

Isaiah is one of Bible books that isn't often read. You did a great job promoting it in well written poem. I enjoyed reading your poem.

Thank you Barbara, I appreciate your comments. The Old Testament is often over looked but in the New Testament 2 Timothy 3:16 we are told it is all inspired of God and is for our learning. The Bible is my favorite collection of books. All 66 of them.
Have a great week-end my friend,
:-) Carolyn

An interesting project that you have set yourself here. This is a a very fine read and you have me scurrying looking around for my Bible, which is collecting dust somewhere. I will fan you to keep up and to go back and read those I have missed.
The Bible was always way over my head and I am 74 now, but you have pushed me into a little wanting to read it - Thank you - Dinah

Oh Dinah, that is the greatest feeling to know that someone is inspired to read more of God's word. I tell anyone that the Bible is my favorite collection of books, all 66 of them. Thank you for your fine comments and happy reading. If you ever have any questions just holler. I will help you look up scriptures, that is how I study. Just the Bible. :-) Carolyn
Comment from The Death
Hi, Carolyn.
Nice narration of Isaiah's role in religious context. I like the explicitly expressed facts and notions here.
Good opening lines:
Isaiah was a prophet
who went throughout the land
He told so many years ago
about Jesus and His plan
Nice use of R,N consonance and O assonance.
Wonderful and counselor,
prince of peace was He
The one led to the slaughter
like a lamb He'd be
The first line sounds due to the used conjunction which doesn't fit in well in terms of flow and meaning, too.
You should either have:
A wonderful counselor
Or anything more appealing.
He would be counted with the wicked
and with them He would die
But when His death was over
in the grave of the rich He would lie
I didn't get your intent with 'death was over'. Don't know if it has something to do with the book. Will 'task was over' go well?
Isaiah told of many things
and how the world would be
When God asked
"who will go and spread my word"
He said,
"Here am I, send me."
Put a question mark after 'word'. Either have end-line punctuation throughout or drop the last period.
Good use of rhyming as well. Excellent presentation.
Nicely done!
Regards,
Anupam

Hi there,
What a through review this is. Wonderful and Counselor are names given to Jesus by the profit Isaiah, as well as Prince of Peace. I do need to capitalize and check the punctuation again.
When His death was over, meaning his death on the cross was finished. He was crucified on a cross between two thieves, but was buried in a rich mans tomb.
Thank you so much Anupam, I will take another look.
:-) Carolyn
Comment from Benny Beeharry
Hi Carolyn, how are you and your family.
This is a very fascinating story. And there is a lot to learn.
But there is one thing which we need to learn fronm this and that:
We are all messengers of God.it is our duty to spread his words.
And sometimes it is more glorious to choose ourself instead of waiting to be told.
We meed to be always ready .
Well done .
God bless
Benny

Good morning dear friend,
You are so right, readiness is almost a thing of the past. I feel certain that God is still well pleased with the,
Here am I, send me, attitude.
As you so aptly said, we need to always be ready.
Have a great day,
:-) Carolyn

Take care,
