I like your mono-rhyme stanzas JLR, you did that well and told the story of this man, drifting through life but still, little reminders to - let your spirit glow. A good life lesson interpretation for the Pix This club. Nicely done.
cheers

Pearl, thank you so very much.
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This began with a hint of a cautionary tale as if there were two choices of trail. Our character of focus took the healing growth oriented, life oriented. Good subject.

Comment from Anne Johnston
Well done on this poem about "drifting". I really liked the lines:
"But just a moment in time, a sudden shift, in this rat race
brought him face to face with God's Grace,"
So glad that the Lord reaches down and lifts us from our drifting to new life in Him.

Comment from Kit Nongkhlaw
You describe the exact place that many of us had been and where I had personally mired in darkness. But there is hope in God. I drifted to this place but by His grace, I could come back alive and safe. Thanks for sharing, Kit

Kit, at one time, I was mired in the darkness having lost the light. Are we not the blest ones ... your six-stars are so encouraging, thank you

Sir, if we had never been in darkness, we will never know the Light.
Comment from HarryT
Very nice work expressing the author's belief in a spiritual life in which one can reach peace when it is sought. Rhyming follows the suggested pattern and does not seem forced. The entire poem flows well and achieves the author's goal of letting the reader know that there is spiritual aid when needed.

Yes -- such creative minds!

It's how I imagine a poetry workshop would be...though I'd never be able to afford to attend one!

Karenina have you considered applying for Metre Class Scholarship? It is a fantastic offering - look at the last listing under Clubs for more information...

No, I hadn't heard of it.
Thank you! I will look now!
Comment from lyenochka
Cool mono-rhymed quintain stanzas! And you gave us the down side of life first, then the radical change because of the encounter with God, and finally, the last stanza brings it altogether, accepting the challenges of life but urging us to "let our spirits glow."
One suggestion:
it called doom, fate, or lot in life, (it's) I felt like it read as "it is called..."

I was pulled in by the first two stanzas and how they flowed. The third seemed more confusing, especially the last few lines. The poem's subject had depth and emotion that was well expressed.
