a very well written spiritual poem, about this festive season. You have made good use of rhymes and language with good word choices. and it flows well. The image goes with it aptly.

    A marvellous reaction by you, and I love to read what you say about my use of language and rhymes. Must be heaven sent as this has little to do with me. Have a wonderful Christmas Jackarrie

This image filled poem creates such a sense of peace, especially within the first two stanzas. Very good rhyming scheme (except for "blast", I was a bit confused by that one). All in all a lovely piece!

This is a lovely poem and beautifully written with the exception of one verse in which you stray from a rhyme scheme that is consistent everywhere else. "the driving force that sins out blast." - might I suggest changing this to 'the force by which all sin departs"? It holds you rhyme scheme together and does not alter your meter. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

It is a lovely piece of work dedicated to you sweetheart.I feel- "Strategy for love
cannot be planned at any cost
but when it happens
in the true sense, in one's life
than 'home sweet home' can be planned"
Let the God bless you with joyful life.

Strong message of peace and love to suit the season - I like that your poem focuses on Mary's perspective.

I would suggest just a couple of tiny changes:
overshadows seems wrong when you are describing how she is filled with light - perhaps you could tinker with this line e.g. with heavenly love shining bright

I think you need to hyphenate out-blast to make the meaning of this line clear.

Merry Christmas.

    I think your review was absolutely marvellous and very well articulated. I checked the scriptures in the Bible about over shadowing with light and found in Luke 1:35. Still your suggestion is very good and I'll check into it as times goes on. With appreciation, Gudbjorg


    New King James Version (NKJV)
    35 And the angel answered and said to her, â??The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

Nicely written poem about Mary's moment of truth. We wonder what would of happened if she said 'No'. Loving and praying help one make the right decision in their moments of truth.

In the last line of the poem-thing should be think. Though Jesus doesn't have to fall in love for He has always and will always love everyone.

Keep writing

Happy Holidays.
