Excellent writing that is so true to life. Humans do worship the golden calf instead of taking care of what is most important, the earth, each other and our animals. I have been away for awhile due to a busy summer and am glad to return.

This is a lovely Loop poem, but a sad one. All the distress you express is very real for many countries and peoples around the whole world. And no, man won't learn. mankind is too proud and arrogant.

    Hello Wendy, Thanks for reading. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Glad you enjoyed. I just took second place for Do Not enter. Blessings, Kay. (very cold and windy here.)

Such a sad story in your poem! (By the way, the club prompts are for prose - very short stories). I like how you show God's heart as the Earth, His beautiful creation is being destroyed. I just read Roy's end time poem and now I'm really sad.

A lovely example, Kay, of one of your favourite verse forms, the loop poem. Your theme of Father Weeps is, inevitably, a poignant one and the repetition of words gives the verse a strength and resonance, fitting for the outcome you visualise here. Thank you for sharing your evocative talent, Kay, and my very best wishes to you! Take care Debbie xx

Hi, I see. I hope you are well

I agree it's always the Innocents Who suffer and war, famine, pestilence

I couldn't tell for sure if this was a poem or a story

You had many lines on your story that read like poetry and had perfect meter but no rhyming of course

Your first few lines are examples. Do you see that each of those lines is eight syllables with alternating syllables of hard sounds and soft sounds Each line is composed of SHSHSHSH Where S is a soft sound often called feminine and H is a hard sound often called masculine

It's the way I write my poetry!! Exactly. That's why when I read it. It sounds like a poem rather than a story.

"God has called his children home
Home to shine above his throne
Throne of light away from death"

Also, the repetition of the last word of one line followed by that being the first word in the next line also is poetic. I believe this is poetry, whether you meant it to be or not.

I enjoyed reading your poem/story

Good job. Thank you for sharing.
