What a lovely thing to think of...for Calvary is the pinnacle of Christianity. This is a great loop and I wish you luck in the contest. And to think that you can see this site every day and be reminded of our Lord~

Very good, Tina. I haven't tried a loop poem yet. I must give it a try. You have done a really good job with this one. I think it will do very well in the contest.

    Thank you, Paul. You SHOULD try one! This was my first try at loop and kyrielle.Thank you for the vote of confidence. There are sooooo many good writers on here that I try not to get my hopes up, lol. I just feel blessed to have a passion for writing. Everyone needs something they love to do:)
    Thanks again!

I don't think Calvary was all that high, it wouldn't have been easy to get that cross up that hill, Jesus technically would or should have been dead before He started out on the Via Delarosa that day, but took it all for our sakes, beautiful saviour, excellent write Tina, blessings Roy

    When looking for artwork, I looked up pictures and you're right. It was very craggy, rocky with boulders from what I could tell. Thank you so much for this review and excellent rating. It means so much:)

    I finally found a rock picture that looks more like what Mount Calvary may have looked like. I edited my poem picture. There are so many sources online, that I had trouble finding an actual picture. One site said little is left of that rock. What IS left is inside a church, a rock about 5m high. I will do more research because it interests me.

I have become a huge fan of loop poems lately, probably because of so many I've read due to this contest. Thank you for sharing this entry with us. Jesus played the ultimate sacrifice for us. Good luck with the contest.

    I struggle with poetry. I have tried a few times. I quit when a reviewer said, 'It reads like a laundry list."
reply by the author on 02-Dec-2021
    A laundry list? That's rude,lol...I think there are so many types of poetry that maybe you just haven't found your groove yet? Do you write stories or something else? I will check out your page later :)

Hello Tina!
Kudos!
Perhaps you have invented a new form: "Kyrielle-Loop!" or "Loop-Kyrielle!"
Appreciate your message and creativity!
Thank you for sharing!

Best Wishes!

    Diane, thanks for the kudos! This was hard to do, as it was my first time trying either one. I appreciate your cheery and encouraging message. Loop-Kyrielle has a nice ring to it!

Great job with your loop poem which is also a kyrielle in form, too! And it's a beautiful thing to reflect on the mount of Christ's great sacrifice for us when you look at mountains! Best wishes in the contest!!

    Thank you so much! I was thinking of trying a kyrielle, and opted for trying a loop. Ended up with a combo,lol.
    A review from a sis in Christ always means so much, on poems about our Savior.
    Hugs and thanks again!

I so much wish I had a six for this beautiful poem. It is extremely difficult to write a smooth flowing and coherent loop poem, but you have done a fabulous job with this one. I thought it was especially creative and meaningful I hope it wins first place in this contest. It is most deserving. I loved it. MM

    Your review means the world to me. Thank you so much! This is my first loop poem that I know of.
    I was sitting in my office yesterday doing devotions and the mountains stole my gaze and thoughts!
    I appreciate your words and compliments!

I'm not a big fan of loop poems, but this is a good one. Now I see where you get that ultra-positive attitude and perspective--your faith. Well done and have a great Christmas.
