Comment from ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova
The Horsemen are, indeed, riding. And the churches refuse to teach Revelations leaving their flocks unprepared for the wolves to come. Or perhaps the shepherds are the wolves?

Thank you for the great review, Imaginos. Yes, I'm sure numerous shepherds are the the ones hunting. I appreciate the generous stars, friend. Have yourself a great weekend.

Hi Ron,
This well done minute poems recounts the Biblical personages of the four horseman of the Apocalypse. It reminds us we need to rein ourselves in to escape from them.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Have a nice evening

Comment from Katie Mae Dead
OK. You got me running scared now. Lol
This is an excellent minute poem as I know how hard they are to write.
It flows well which is hard to accomplish and your rhymes are spot-on. I love the word "subjugate"
Good going sir and good luck. This is going to do well!

Lol. I actually had to look subjugate up to be sure what I thought it meant was correct. It was in my rhyming program and couldn't pass it up. Ha. Yes, this one was a little dark but that happens sometimes. Lol. Thank you for the great review and good luck wishes, Katie. I'm glad you liked my little offering.

Hello, Ron!
Stellar!
I do believe my favorite of all your exceptionally well-crafted offerings... (Okay, one or two didn't "rock my boat," but even you have referred to them as silly) :)
At any rate, this Minute poem "packs a punch!" (Yikes! Two cliches in one review!)
I so enjoyed reading your poem!
Thank you for sharing!
Good stuff.

Hey, Diane, hello. Thank you for the great review. After being on here so long I sometimes lose interest and have more fun writing the dumb stuff for my own kicks. Lol. It's rare I go with something serious like this anymore but when I do, I give it my best. I dearly appreciate the kind review and stop in, D. Have yourself a wonderful weekend and thank you again.

Hi Ron
What a fantastic image to write your minute poem based on the four horseman . Well worded, dark and mysterious with a hint of a warning but has the horse already bolted Hmmm I wonder
Good luck in the contest
Cheers Chris

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Pam. I always try to cram as much as I can into these little contest forms. Lol. I dearly appreciate the gracious rating, awesome review and the stop in, P. I'm glad you liked this dark piece. Have yourself a wonderful night and thank you again.

You are very welcome, Ron, and I appreciate your reply. Have a great day!
Comment from LyndaS
This poetry form really lends itself to iambic pentameter. Your message is clear and well written. This is all reinforced by your beautiful (albeit foreboding) artwork. I agree with your author notes; we are well on our way. I'm pretty sure this one will take first place in this contest. Extremely well done, sir.

Thank you so much for the excellent review and huge sixer, Lynda. I actually put a lot of work into the picture. At first it was just this awesome pic of the horses. I had to change the color of the horse on the right to red and then added all the bringers of famine in behind. Lol. I really appreciate the generous stars and kind comments. I'm glad you liked this dark piece. Have yourself a great night and thank you again.

I know you do a lot of your own art for your postings. This one was beautiful.
Comment from Pantygynt
You write here that the apocalypse is imminent using the device of the four horsemen being in the act of mounting their steeds.
This is a remarkable use of the very simple minute poetic form to make an important prophetic statement. It is very effective indeed and would merit za six if one were available

Thank you for the great review and big six offer, Jim. Yeah, I like to try to cram a lot in contests with little space. This may be more than a few folks want to face though but what can you do? Lol. I appreciate the stars and the stop in, friend. Have yourself a great day and thank you again.

Comment from Lisasview
Okay, so I adore metaphors and I find several within your very well written Minute poem for the contest!
I love everything about it... The image you chose, the colors and most of all the text!
Writing to you early here in Spain,

Thank you so much for the early morning review, Lisa. I actually edited the pic to be like this. It was just this awesome artwork of the horses at first. Then I added the bad guys in there with my art program. Lol. I really appreciate the generous stars. I'm glad you liked the piece, Lisa.

I really did like it... I am an artist so I appreciate the extra work that sometimes goes with a poem.

It's odd how many people just scan over something and don't find nor see the work that went into a great piece of art. It was actually a different piece of artwork that inspired this piece but it was only two horses. After I went looking, I couldn't help but use this outstanding picture. I wish I had just a fraction of this guy's talent. I can manipulate pictures with other pictures all day long. But to create something this magnificent is far beyond my skill set. I always admire art, no matter its platform, writing, art, music, sand sculpting, glass blowing, you name it, anything. I'm rambling. I'm sure you know. Thank you again, Lisa.
Comment from Wendy G
An original and thoughtful theme, and I wonder if all four seals are not broken, as all these are falling into place. I do think we are approaching the end, but there are God's promises to hold onto as well, so we need not fear but can have courage despite all that's happening. Very well written. Sending you best wishes for the contest.

Thank you for the great review, Wendy. I think if all the seals have been already broken we'd be in a whole lot worse situation. I pray I'm not here for it. That promise is what I'm counting on, that's for sure. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars and the stop in, Wendy. Thank you again.
