And you have most sincerely written from your soul each of these poems...and I am reluctant to move on and read the final poem of this napowrimo challenge.

If in the writing of these poems you've found as much peace and serenity as you've offered to me, you can rest easy and praise God for your inspiration.

MY soul is fuller for having read what YOUR soul has offered!

You have listed the positive attributes of the soul, inviting us to reflect on the good stuff our souls are composed of. Your rhyme scheme flows nicely and the repetition in each stanza adds momentum.

Well done with this devotional poem written in five quatrains. I could well imagine this being performed in church with a single voice speaking the first three lines, all voices together on the fourth. Excellent!

    Julie, a couple of other FS reviewers have mentioned the same thought. That makes me very humbled and filled with Joy.

JLR, the generous and flattering description of man in this a poem helps restore the reader's faith and hope in mankind. If only we could see more of these gleaming traits. Perhaps, its on us. We don't look hard enough to see the good.

The soul of a man is the thing that makes man able to care for others as they should. I enjoyed this poem very much. I wish you the very best in all of your writing. I see that you are one short of your 30 problems for the month of April. I look forward to your finale for the month of April. Patricia.

Very nice! I enjoyed this one. Did you mean to repeat the first stanza in the second last? Also the font appears to have inconsistent size. Otherwise a very enjoyable read, and I like the repetition of the first line at the end of each stanza. That works well, and gives emphasis.

I enjoyed reading about the soul. I believe it never dies. I like the AaaA rhyme, it gives a nice rhythm.

The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.

Hi Jim, loved this poem and it said it all for me. I'm a prose writer through and through. I don't know the first thing about meter and I don't much care either. I'll go with what I Iike, and I liked your poem very much. Ulla:)))
