"SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP

Hello there, Newbie! Welcome to WDC. *Dolphin*
This is a Simply Positive Review!


*BurstO* There is a beautiful message woven within the lines of your poem.

*Clouds* It gives proper thanks to He, who is your anchor, your guide, protector of your soul. Very inspiring words ring in the reader's ears.


*Lightning* I could feel the emotional genuineness of each line written. It was truly from the heart, and that was very easy to comprehend.

*QuestionW* My not so favorite parts:


I'm not a real big fan of overly rhyming lines in quatrains. Thus if two, rather than three lines rhymed in each stanza, I would have enjoyed it more. The extra rhyme line felt a little forced to me, and unnatural to the ears when read out loud. I mostly dabble in free verse, so I guess that's the reason it made me pause a bit. But, where the message is so important, one must trust on that having the most impact on the reader, rather than trying to bring emphasis by multiple rhyme lines within the same verse. Just my humble opinion, of course. I know many, many, poetry readers have no patience with free verse, so I know it's a totally subjective thing.


Well done! Spiritual, and very inspirational food for the soul. *Angel*

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch
