Ave Maria - this refrain resounds like a majestic knell throughout the free verse poem.'

A compelling read. Excellent author notes to help the reader along.

Well done!

Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you Sonali, for the wonderful review and best wishes. I won't holds my breath for the win, because it's not flashy enough to win. But I enjoyed writing it.

I find this an interesting and well-researched take on what it might have been like on the Ave Maria. I feel your passion to the history. Your words colour my imagination. I'm glad to have read this plus the author's notes.
