Every religion requires something a little different, but God only requires our whole heart and soul, and obedience to His laws. That is simple.
I loved your poem. It tells of that conflict we feel, when our lives spiral out of control, and we lose the simplicity of things.
Very well done.

Comment from Gert sherwood
Hello Mrs. KT no matter wht religion on ie I see see how to be forgiven ones sins take not only prayers and as you say-
Until,
Quite by mistake,
They happen again
And again
And again...
Transgressions multiply if one doesn't stop being a Sat. night child

this is wonderful and I did read it aloud, and many times I say those words, even in my own home, many think my poems reflect my being, yet they all dont, I found I love reading your poem and others as they make me feel whole again. thank you for sharing.

I really enjoyed your offering friend, I think you just captured the seduction of temptation for the young and impressionable mind perfectly, been there, still there, what can I say, I'm doomed!

I hear you sister. Forgive me father for it has been sixteen years since my last confession......funny, I still say Hail Mary's sometimes when I am truly in real danger of despair.....old habits, I guess. Your poem has made me reflect, and for that I thank you.

Amen to that! It used to be so easy, when we didn't know better. Simple solutions give way to complex questioning and suddenly you're left without a net to land in.
Great story.
Sincerely,
Curt

This is a well-written, but very sad poem. Sadder for the truth that it contains. The truth is more about what has haappened to us than truth about the experience of Saturday's child because the healing, the cleansing was real, is real if we care to seek it out again--a personal opinion, not held by all. Again, nice job.

This was excellent! I liked the repeated line, "it used to be so easy" I liked the way you used listing items and the free verse still had an underlying meter which flowed rather well bravo malachi1206

Mrs. KT - Fantastic imagery that you create in this poem of lost faith. The evolution of faith can be difficult but many come back around to their roots. Thanks. Charlie.

Whoa! Really good one there. Great visuals.
It's so true, we leave behind us the things that once gave such comfort, even if it was hollow.
Only the glimmering memories that eventually either go still or reclaim their own.
Good one!
Hugs,
Gayle
