I loved the poem Sue, very strong on getting the message of forgiveness out and the importance of forgiving, and I can agree with that to a certain degree but for me some things are unforgivable! unforgivable! at least for me anyway, but your poem was a great one friend, well done you contest junkie, ha ha.

Your poem is lovely and your explaination is true. Our healing process starts with forgiving. The picture enhances the message beautifully.

Sue,

Another great one from your pen. This one comes bearing a message that we, as humans, must be constantly reminded of -- not forgiving robs us of peace.

I love the rhyme scheme of this poem.

Good luck in the contest.

Amen to that sister!
Couldn't have said it better myself! Well, I could have but you know! LOL!
Love the message, the rhyme scheme wording, it all flows together very well!
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and earn a 5!
Warmly,
Curt

Sue,

A very well written poem, gentle, sharp and always straight to the heart. Great contest entry and so smooth it just leads us easily through the stanzas. Very nicely done. Good luck in this contest, my friend.

This poem is a good treatment of regret and forgiveness and reads slowly which allows for absorbing the meaning. This line:
the heart, the heart always longs, is a good assessment and use of repetition.

Here I am. This is excellent. I love it. I would give a six if I had one. The repetition is effective. The constancy of the rhyme scheme gives your message power. Very, very good Sue. I loved it.

    WHAT?? You didn't like my letter "a"??? Ha!! I posted one stanza and then saw where the contest had a 2 stanza minimum. Which I'm happy about because I now have a more complete work. Thanks for giving me even ONE STAR for my little 'a'. Thanks, Sue

    Jude, I am so happy you liked this piece. It may not look like it to a seasoned poet, buy I worked my butt off! And I enjoyed the process so much. And thanks for the honor of your six (which I will take -ha!). With regards, Sue

    You are right. But, also on 2 fronts. It does need more for content, but also just found the contest requires 2 stanzas! AHhhh! Back to the drawing board. Thanks much for your very kind review! Sue

    I've now added 2 stanzas, in line with the rules of the contest. Please feel free to review this completed piece. With regards, Sue

When we really forgive, we are freed from all sorts of worries and contempt and burdens that we bear when we don't. thanks for this wonderful write.
