Carolyn, this is well written with quatrains that carry a-a-a-a and so forth rhyme. The message is strong and honors God. :0 GracieAnn

No I actually got that one from researching the Lotus on I-net. Happy you liked it Rose. :-) Carolyn

Hi Rose, your review came in the middle of several other reviews of the Lotus. Yes I did take this picture of the Bumblebee. In my front yard, I love them, they are large and gentle and I love to watch them. God designed them in a way that defys mans concept of areonautics and yet they fly. Thanks again for this great review. :-) Carolyn

That poem almost sounds like a psalm. It is beautifully written and I'm sure your faith is strong. You walk with His hand firmly tucked into yours as He leads you through life.

You seem to know me well. What would we ever do without the Lord. I am so happy you liked Living Faith. :-) Carolyn

Comment from TheGoldenPen

Exceptional

Goodness, this was one dazzling poem! First of all, the picture was very nice, and the bee looked fluffy.

Secondly, how did you manage to get eighteen rhyming words?! That is some talent you got there.

Lastly, I loved the + addition. It was certainly a luxury reading this. Good Luck.

=D

Hi there, the poem just flowed without a lot of effort and before you know it I decided mono-rhyme would be the way to go. Thank you for your great words of encouragement and the beautiful golden cross. (The bumblebees here in Missouri are large and gentle) I love them, :-) Carolyn

You took a lovely photo :-)
good use of mono-rhyming
nice alliteration in hear and heed, also good assonance
strong verbs in your imperative statements add power to the meaning of your thoughtful prayer

How true you are in your notes-- faith is all that matters.
I like the flow of this one.
You have made excellent use of rhymes and proxy rhymes here.
The opening stanza is very simple yet powerful in its effect.
Lovely presentation as always.
Good luck! :)

A beautifully reflecting poem. Without faith it is truly hard to please him. Excellent poem and very truthful Carolyn! Such a remarkable expression.
