What an inviting church complemented by a charming verse in rhyming couplets. The sun shone through your post, warming the soul and your repetition of the first line gave the whole verse a rounded, satisfying conclusion. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Thank you very much.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, An Old Church, presented with an AABBCC-rhymed sestet, for the most part identifies the church as a place to find release from the world's "load"" on us.

I enjoyed this poem very much. The picture you selected fits it perfectly.
Though it's a short poem, it has a great deal to say with simplicity about the church across the road. There are pictures and sound and feelings.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the No Restrictions poetry writing prompt. The church in the picture resembles so many of the old churches we have here in New England. I love to go inside them and see the intricate woodwork and design. Nicely written. Good luck in the contest.

This was a great "no restrictions" poem. I loved how you repeated the first line at the end, and I admire your rhymes. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Your short poem focuses on a church "across the road" that has much significance to the speaker. What "heavy load" was laid there? How was "forebearance" taught? You leave us with a lot of backstory we're curious about. Rod

I was thinking of Christ's statement that his burden is light. This was a new church to me that I found to be exceptionally tolerant and open. Strictly speaking, I came from another denomination.

It sounds like you found the right church for you.

Fantastic spiritual poem for this prompt, mystery poet. Beautifully written and presented in rhyming verse.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes in the upcoming vote.

Great image. Did you choose that picture and then write a poem about it? It feels like that's what you did. The rhyming scheme works well. You make the church sound like an old friend who is always there for you. It is interesting how lines 3 and 4 match the shape of the church with the lifting up.

No, I wrote the poem first. The image is from FanStory. It is not my church but I thought it was a good fit. Thank you for your thoughts.
