Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. You're correct, we are not perfect. Nobody is, the only person being was hung on a cross. Yes, we must make amends and move on. I enjoyed reading, the flow was good.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for a great review and encouraging thoughts. Yes, only Christ was perfect in all his pipes and timbrels? I really appreciate your input. Means so much.
Comment from sarawill28
I really loved your poem. It was such a nice read! I particularly like the Mistakes made in haste section. I think that is very beautiful...it's so true. The updraft is a perfect title and you portray that in the poem...it builds up to a feeling of being uplifted. You did a very nice job with this!

Glorious picture to go with a poem that touches the heart. I know this is secret stuff for the contest, but I believe I feel the artist in my air. Best wishes for the contest. Lovely work here!

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
For a lot of us, the thought of being perfect takes confidence from us and leaves us doubting every step we take. In situations like these, the responsibility falls on your shoulder to bring confidence back. I enjoyed this thought-provoking poem.Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Pam (respa)
-It is a lovely painting
and a good presentation.
-You wrote a good poem
with a good topic.
-I like the rhyming couplets, too.
-Effective use of dialogue between
your conscience and yourself.
-You have good examples
with very good imagery, like
"plans...with dodgy decisions have sunk"
and "a silver streak of yearning."
-An excellent concluding couplet.
-A very good entry; good luck.

Pam, I fixed the first couplet? hoping it is better rhyming and smooth enough.
Thanks for the nudge :))

Live your best life in Christ Jesus, Understand that you are perfectly made in the image of the LORD. Sin is over-rated, satan is not a mystery or someone who does not know the LORD. Heaven is the LORD's throne and Earth is His footstool, On the sixth day of the week, the Holies was asked a very special request,let us make man in our image.Amen, The Son of Man came to his footstool, revealed facts unknown, He ascended back to his origin because he finished the works that was started at the beginning.keep it going, Today's is only calendared there is no promise for tomorrow

My sheep know my voice and will follow me where ever I go....The LORD departing message to us, do read this in memory of Him: John 17:11-14

I'm the toe nail of the LORD, with no importance to the world. As the LORD cares for his feet, remember the foot washing he did for the disciples and for Moses he told to take of those sandals. We are grafted in his body.
Comment from Paul McFarland
Very good. After running into the good rhyming in the last half, I found myself wishing the first half was better rhymed. That last couplet is really nice.

Comment from Mary Shifman
Wow. This beautiful and a little sad. I really like the poem and relate to it. I it has gorgeous imagery and the rhyme is excellent. My favorite line is, "Hope raises its phoenix wings, in the updraft I am caught" The image is splendid. Good luck in the contest. I'm out of sixes or I would give you one.

Excellent poem. Your presentation has also been carefully and thoughtfully chosen. I like the realism throughout, but the positive note of optimism at the end. Very best wishes for your entry.
