"My soul was created upon my birth
a part of me given by God to live on Earth"

Actually it was created before your birth.

This is a very beautiful, profound, clever and creative poem. I do think that some of the rhyming could be slightly better, but far be it for me to suggest specific changes. The poem's message is so beautiful that everything else pales in comparison. Really nice job, keep up the good work. Best of luck in the contest.

Very nice Soul poem. Well written in verse and rhyme with great imagery for the reader. The value of the soul, for this earth and the one to come. No one can buy. I loved your poem.

A very well-written poem. The soul is the core of our existance. The soul survives when the body dies and continue to live the way we teach our soul what is important

This reminds me of the philosophy of a guy for whom I acted as ghost writer some time ago. He maintains that we do not have a soul because we are soul. It was his central thesis. It seems to me that this poem demonstrates that you have similar ideas.

There is one grammar problem here that needs correcting.
"It came from the Spirit an awesome suffice"
"Suffice" is a verb so it cannot be used in this way. The corresponding noun is "sufficiency" but you won't want that for rhyming reasons. Would "device" do you?

Pantygynt,

Thanks so much for your review and for bringing the grammar problem to my attention. The word "device" will work quite well for me. Thanks so much for your kindness and help. Blessings.................

beautifully written, the words flow line to line creating their own rhythm then combining to form the message of the poem to the reader, very nice choice of artwork and the background color completed the piece.

im not sure we surrender our soul when we die, Jesus gave up His Spirit to the Father. (Psalm 31:5, Luke 23:46) and I think we do too. But soul or spirit, the soul is certainly the decision maker. Yes, this is a great little entry in this contest, written rhyming couplets, smoothly composed, in nice even meter, very well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

I like the word 'soul' in every sentence and verse. This poem is very good and I like the meter as I read it aloud. I enjoyed reading this and thank you for sharing. Good luck in the contest.
