My Friend,
Oustanding job in the penning of this poem. A powerful message indeed.
"Pray if you know-how; the end is close to now." An unequivocal message to all that end time is near.
The time is now to seek God if you don't know Him.
He has given us the signs of time in the 24th chapter of St. Matthew.
Excellent rhyming throughout your poem with a very smooth flow. Thanks for sharing this powerful message.
I purchased your book off of Amazon; I am truly blessed with some great poetry. Thanks for sharing.
May God continue to bless and keep you and your family in His loving care.
Blessings...Portia

Thank you my dear sister. My wish is that I could give away each copy. However that is not possible at this time. I purposely kept the price as low as possible because I do not write for material gain. This is my way to publicize Gods word and sanctify his holy name.
Comment from Pj Dennison
This beautifully written apocalyptic poem is very well written. It sounds prophetic in nature. People who I come across as either Christian or not Christian believe we are in the end times. We don't know the time. Only God knows but we are to be prepared in our hearts and soul being filled with the holy spirit. Your poem is a reminder of what we are facing today and it makes a person think about being ready and getting right with God.

I thank you so much for your encouraging review comments. Whenever I submit a poem, my biggest wish or hope is that my words will connect with those who read what I wrote. you both encourage and inspire me to always try to be better.

You are welcome
Comment from RGstar
You found your thread, poetically.
Good internal rhyming, something I like, within your lines.
Much to ponder for some, and much to reflect of others, yet, the most important are the words and their formation, the poetry that is created...and you have done well.
My best wishes.
Have a great Sunday.

My dear brother, I cannot thank you enough for your wise suggestions. As you stated, I did find my thread. I am so happy that I had the chance to improve what I consider to be an important message. I do not know aif I could have done it without your assistance.
Comment from harmony13
The author's words are strong, descriptive, extremely thought provoking
and creative. As I pondered on these words, yes, I feel something is going on especially with governments and systems. Are we close to the end -
I don't know. Thank you for the author's notes - very freeing statements.
Great Poem! I hope you are doing well....Maria

Comment from Wendy G
Yes, I believe the end times are approaching fast - and we all need to be ready, either for death or for the return of Jesus. A spiritual battle greater than we can imagine is in process. But God is in control and His ways are perfect. Well written and thoughtful poem. A good reminder.

Thank you Wendy. We might want to find a place with the lost boys and Peter Pan for a spell.
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
When the time arrives for the end times you have to be ready. You are either with the good or with the bad. There will be no inbetween.
"Pray if you know how, the end is close to now.
There is nowhere to run, with the sinking of the sun,
If on the wrong side, there'll be no place to hide."

Comment from dragonpoet
This free verse poem uses end and internal rhyme well to state hot beliefs that have he end is near. At times, I feel the same with all the disease and violence now. But, I like to hold out hope for a better future for all.

My beliefs are that all will not be lost. Look at the pandemic, there is tremendous loss of life, but also many are surviving. Man will never pass from the earth completely. If the global flood did not do it, nothing else will either.

I am glad to hear you have hope. Your poem didn't no seem to express that.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
I pray daily that God's will will intervene and help solve the problem our nation finds it's self. I don't see any other way. I am pretty sure violence isn't the answer but I am not sure there's enough followers of Christ left to solve it. I know it only takes a few, but...

Fear not. The forces of heaven will prevail, and there will be survivors, so great in number that they cannot be numbered.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, No Place to Hide, reminds of some song lyrics I heard fifty years ago, and still recall, though the song has not been found by me again:
Almost persuaded, harvest is passed; almost persuaded, doom comes at last.
Almost cannot prevail; almost is but to fail; sad, sad, that bitter wail,
almost -- but lost.

Wow Bill, the most impressive thing about your comments are that you can remember fifty years ago. How old are you?
Just kidding old buddy. I remember songs like that also. Writers back in the day were much deeper that they seem to be today.
Comment from Susan Newell
I don't believe there are many who would disagree with this. To paraphrase: "We wage war not against flesh and blood, but against the powers and principalities, and forces of darkness in high places." We are in a spiritual battle against the one entity who is managing (and has directed) all conspiracies throughout time, as part of his grand scheme. Prayer and faith will lead us to a better life, regardless of what happens on earth. I don't know if The End Days are approaching, but we are approaching the end of an era. Advances in technology will soon lead to chaos and the collapse of everything we know as "life."
The sound of these words, in my mouth they taste sour, -- The use of "they" in the second clause is not correct grammar. I think you can reword and still maintain your syllable count and rhythm.

You are absolutely correct. I meant to go back and edit to say "may taste sour". Thank you for catching that and pointing it out to me. We as a community need to not fear being able to point out things that could improve the work of fellow writers. And we the ones being corrected must not have thin skin when it comes to accepting correction.

You are welcome. I absolutely agree. We all make mistakes and have things to learn. I want honest reviews, not flattery. I also know that the hardest things to proofread are my own works. I often just read what I intended to write. :-)

Me too.
