This is beautifully presented and wonderfully written. A poem about the love Jesus showed us when He died on that cross, is always a blessing to my soul. Patricia

Debi;
-Your Villanelle poem is written to perfection in even though with different repetitive lines, it reads so smoothly. There is no thought hesitation and concept or ideas.
-The picture is an excellent choice that is very relative and complementary to the poem.
-The metaphorically spiritual imagery is very definitively expressive and vividly descriptive throughout the writing: "In pain, or blind, or plagued by tragedy, He heals my wounds in lifts me from despair. He restores my soul and rescued me."
Such a well-written, inspirational and enlightening poetic lines.
-Great use of enjambment which is the running on of a thought and concepts from one stanza and line to the next without a syntactical break.
-Each of your rhyming words were contingent to the meaning and concept of each line which helped the rhythm flow smoothly throughout the writing.
-Rhythmic meter mixed in variable, however, the timing, cadence and tempo all for so very helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and very easy.
-Thank you for sharing and posting this very uplifting piece of poetry for everyone to read and may the good Lord be with you always my friend.

Thank you, Alex. I appreciate your analysis of this Villanelle and its repetitive lines. Thank you for the comments about the enjambment, meter and rhyming. It takes time to look at all of these things and I appreciate your attention to the details. It helps so much in knowing what works and is so encouraging. Thank you.

You are so sincerely welcome.

This is a great presentation in artwork and message. The format seems very complicated from your author notes, but you handled it well.
I see no changes. I really like the repeated line throughout. It helps with the flow which is very good. I see nothing to change. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Comment from petalangela
The Christian faith is one that has never wavered visitors come some leave others become family. Families give freely
Over the years and in fact even today with Isis the faith is persecuted. Christians stand tall safe in the protective armour that has protected them for centuries
I am not a practising Christian nor a total disbielver
I have to believe that if I am to b a Christian fully committed it will be in gods own Tim

Comment from Dean Kuch
Well, debi, Villanelle or not, it is a beautiful, well composed poetic proclamation portraying pure and perfect faith. The artwork is sensational, and the right choice to cap off your uplifting message. I really liked the structure; the way in which the repetitive lines cascaded down the page from stanza to stanza.
Simply excellent work. ~Dean

Thank you for such an encouraging review, Dean. I appreciate you noting the elements you liked about the poetry form. I am experimenting with form poetry, but I'm beginning to believe some of them are so complicate that they were invented by a mad professor that had his mind on calculus one moment and literature the next. Anyway, it is fun to find a challenge. Thank you about the comments so but the theme and presentation as well. I appreciate the encouragement and support. Debi

It was my pleasure, as always, Debi. :)
Comment from amahra
Villanelle seems a very complex poem to write; and you seem to have pulled it off well. Loved the content of the poem, of course, being a Christian, myself. Great word choice and great message in a poem.

Thank you for the gracious comments about the writing. The form was a bit of a challenge, but I wanted to try writing a Villanelle. Thank you for the comments about the message as well. God bless. Debi
Comment from Benny Beeharry
This is a very sincere writing ,full of pathos and faith.he knows your needs and is always there to help. In our petty human selfishness, forgiving is far but for Him it is His life .
This writing is very simple, straightforward and brings forth the message out very well.
