The artwork you choose is marvelous.
It took my breath away.
I love the movement of your poem and every words is so true. So many now should listen to His words what a difference their life would be.

You've done a lovely job on your format and spiritual topic. Your syllable counts are spot on for the Minute contest - best of luck! I believe you do justice to the biblical reference. You paint a wonderful picture.

This was a nice rendition of the story of the woman at the well, which is one of my favorite stories.
I love the picture. It goes so well with the beautiful flowing words of the poem.

Factually and wonderfully penned. The story of the woman at the well is so relevant to our lives today and you have written a beautiful reminder of the event.
I have not written a Minute, but I enjoyed the form and wish you the best in the contest.

Exceptional. Beautifully written and an excellent example of Jesus love for mankind. It takes courage in this day and age to promote anything to do with God's influence in our lives. I commend you for that. Some writings are overdone with objectionable language or behaviors and this is a breath of fresh air.

"He told all things I've ever done." Provokes us to remember to use His guidance in making decisions. The picture is a great addition.
Thanks.

Debi;
+ Minute poem is really done excellently well and fits the requirements for such a writing.
+ Rhyming words are contingent to the meaning and concept of each line making them neither forced nor labored and very helpful in the rhythmic flow.
+ Rhythmic meter(as an 8/4/4/4 syllabic count per verse), cadence, timing and tempo all will help for making the reading clear, fluid and very easy.
+ Good use of enjambment where it is the writing out of a thought and concepts for one verse, couplet and stanza to the next without a syntactical break.
+ Picture is definitely appropriate, relative, reflective and complementary for the poem and also enhances the essence of the writing also.
+ Summary: I really like this spiritual field to this poem and is also very inspirational and enlightening.
+ Good luck in the contest and may the good Lord be with you always my friend.
Alex

This is beautiful. So brief, so pared down to its absolute kernel. I love that story in the Bible, but I don't think I could be so exquisitely economical with words as you are. Thank you for an example of how to do it, and do it so well. Well done Cheers Cass

The picture you chose for this poem is perfect; cool, fresh running water.

I enjoyed this well written poem very much. The rhyming is very good, my friend. The poem is short but your message is conveyed well. You've used easy to read and understand words.

Always with respect,
