Hello. Good flow in the attempt to read it as you advised with one sentence. I liked your use of Xeno as to denote strange and foreign. Xeno-phobia comes to mind and that I believe is part of the angle in your poem. Some are shunning out what is strange while others recognize the need to continue gracing the divine glory of Jesus as an insrument of the after-life. Cheers.

There is some stunning visual imagery here such as:

defiling my golden whitish embroidered azure,
the web of the ceaseless glow I do keep,

Which I read as a rebirth or a metamorphosis.

One thing that stood out as odd:

Thy cardinal rule ain't able to show Thy grace,
in my opinion the word 'ain't' stands starkly out of place within the literary context of this poem.

The myriad abbreviations are not known to me as a standard. I like that they are identified here, along with a couple of under used words like penumbra and adumbrate. This is becoming very Clockwork Orangesque in its dialect building.

Wow. I would say that I like this poem, but it seems you've taken a bit too much poetic license with the nature of God. He's not a servant who does things for us; everything that exists is for His pleasure.

Also, I'm all for the introduction of new vocabulary into artistic works, but when you make up so many that the reader can't even tell what you mean by the surrounding sentences, you're trying too hard to be abstract and eccentric.

A good effort, but not yet a complete work. Keep trying! :)

Hello Alcreator,

With all the stars and reviews your poem has garnered, this dissident yawp can hardly matter; but if you're going to write something deliberately outside the realm of direct comprehensibility, what on earth is the point of including a glossary? That's one major disconnect; the second is that, rather than move us to feel a given emotion of perceive a given point of view or consider an argument, or a reaction, or receive an insight, all that meets me on the page is a jumble. I'm completely unable to find the handle, and while maybe that's just me, your reviews reflect the range of your readers as much as they do the range of your work :-)

Very kind regards, Gil Arend.
