Your rhyming quatrains have a lovely message contained in them - the Sermon on the Mount speaks to the poor, to those in need - the part of religion most meaningful to me. You are certainly most philosophical right now! Brooke

Sue - It's been so long since I read the sermon on the mount. I need to refresh my memory. Nicely written and thanks for reminding us. I enjoyed the story, the rhyme and the flow. Good luck in the contest. Charlie

Lovely tribute to the Sermon On The Mount. Jesus said he came to save, not judge and so must we. With blessings on the meek is so famous, as it should be. It gives such hope to all who seem powerless now. Excellent contest entry and a testament to your faith. Best of luck in the contest. Blessings, Linda

A nice piece about the sermon on the mount. You introduced a kind of freshness into that ancient story. The rhythm seems to have broken down in the second to the last stanza. good work.

With the enjambments in that stanza, it can appear to have lost it's rhythm, but the iambics are still there. It just sticks out since the other stanzas have no enjambs. Very cool of you to say "freshness to that ancient story". Thanks so much for your review, Perp. Always appreciated, Sue

Sue, I love how you focus on the gentleness of Jesus' message, and that it wasn't what the crowd expected. Nicely written, and I hope it does well in the contest. Karen

What a wonderful reminder -- His words are as timely today as they were two thousand years ago. The truth will stand although sometimes it stands alone. Thank you for the blessing from Him through your writer's hands.

What a great poem. It brought tears to my eyes. I love the message and the rhyme and rhythm of the poem. I can't think of a great subject and you covered it awesomely. Great work.

fictionwriter, thank you so much for this most exceptional review for my poem. And for you to say it brought tears to your eyes is more than words can say. Writing about the Sermon on the Mount was emotional for me, also. I am honored by your review. With warmest regards, Sue

You picked a great thing to use in this contest. It is one of the most moving parts of the Bible I believe. The flow was excellent and the wording wonderful, could have been in the crowd. joan marie
