Where have I been that I missed reading this. My congratulations for winning. You deserve it! Could you write me a poem with my favorite song "ever since the world began" by survivor in the background? Even just few lines... please? Thank you so much! c", mae

The flow of your words were not stressful, but rather an easy read followed by a tremendous feeling of awe. I am captivated upon the story and has brought a slight, tiny tear in my eye. Or maybe I'm just expressing too much :-P

Thank you very much, Edric, and I don't believe you're expressing too much at all, my friend. I wrote it and can hardly read it without shedding a tear...


Thanks again for this wonderful review, it's much appreciated!

Beautifully written poem about the passion of our lord Jesus christ. It rends the strings of the heart. As if you have felt the same agony of Jesus..u became one with Him and the with his blood your words pored out. I have no words to describe your words and yr feelings. I am lost. Gooloom

I believe Christ allows us all to feel a twinge of that pain he so graciously took on for all of humanity, Gooloom. That's what makes us human, after all...

Thanks for your wonderful review, my friend. God bless...

Outstanding, inspired, wonderful all in one word, Jesus Christ. This poem has a magical beauty, it has a lovely flow and the finest rhyme and pleasant rhythm. The message you can't miss, the loveliest of all, salvation and forgiveness of all if you choose. It cost His life to give us eternal life in Heaven. The Warrior of all warriors, The King of kings. This is to me a masterpiece! Well done!

Dean, somehow, I missed this masterpiece! This is one of the most poignant and biblical correct poems I've read about the crucifixion. Thanks for writing this soul-stirring piece, and for that along, it deserved the title, "poem of the month," or more apropos, "poem of the year!" Congratulations!

Thanks for such a wonderful compliment, Titanx9, I really appreciate that. When I released it, I did not have very much in the way of member dollars to promote it. So, I think it got only like five, maybe six reviews, initially. But, God has a way of making things known, does He not?

Thanks so much, again...

reply by Titanx9 on 29-Aug-2013

He sure does. I am inspired by your faith. It is treat meeting you and sharing your thoughts on faith. It seems you are trying to determine where we all fit into the grand scheme of things. At least, that's the impression I get from your lofty, and often arcane, work, minus the horror - LOL. I love it. Be blessed!

This is an outstanding work. I missed it. Many misses lately due to eyesight. I celebrate that it was recognized by the judges. Such a great reminder of His love and grace.

Thank you very much, kiwigirl2821. It really was not widely reviewed by anyone because I did not promote it very highly. It was not until after it was put up for the poem of the month contest that it got a bit more reviews. Actually, a LOT more reviews, LOL!

I sincerely appreciate your review.

This is an outstanding work of art. It says lots
about your faith and the beauty of believing. I
think your pastor was right when he said for you
to exploit your faith.
And a lovely thing it is for all of us.
Best of luck.
This sure looks like the winner to me.
Marie

Wow, what a wonderful compliment, MAMONIA! I sincerely appreciate that. My pastor is a great man, and he's usually right about most everything. At least, he's never steered me in the wrong direction.

Thanks so much, again!
