This is a well written acrostic poem about how one feels through the stages of
the sacrament of reconciliation. It shows how humbling God'a love is.
Hope it did well in the contest. The artwork reminds be of a Picasso for it
seems cubist in nature.

Keep writing

Joan

This acrostic poem, HUMBLED, follows the vertical theme and points out the position of brokenness we must come to in order to genuinely be receptive to the Holy Spirit. Nice poem.

Wonderful write ... I think it could be stronger by bolding that first letter to each line and by making the type just a bit larger. I once asked my priest why we had to come to confession instead of directly to the Man. He said the priest acts as head of the family. When one of us sin it brings sin to all and the priest forgives for all of the family. Catholics are strange birds some times. Enjoyed your acrostic piece. Good luck. xoxo Kiwi

The messaging in this work is un-convoluted and thought provoking. While I found one passage that pulled me from the rhythm of your prose.

i.e. - Beholding my uttered shameful remorse for transgressions - Utter as in absolute or total, or Uttered as in spoken or expressed?

I found nothing major that would take away from the reverence of your work as a whole. Keep going and loving what your do.

    Thank you for reading and the lovely comments. I may change that verb to be clearer with meaning. I did mean expressed.

    Does confessed work better than uttered?

    Nope, I just wasn't sure which you were intending since it could be interpreted either way. Bottomline I'm only giving my takeaway. If uttered works for you and it gives the masterstroke to your art, stick with it. Sometimes even if the world says don't, you must do what in your heart is right.

    Thank you for the read and the lovely comments. By the way, in the Fanstorian contest my entry was "Befuddled Mother Goose". If you didn't read it, it was you my friend I wrote about. Bucketlist guessed it immediately. Now, that the contest is over I can reveal this.
    Hugs,your fan,
