This poem was such a blessing to me, just what I needed to read. It's so easy to let your mind run away with fear and anxiety. This is beautifully written, fantastic job!

Poet,
Your poem is creative and extremely well written. Your well crafted words paint a picture in the readers head with splendid imagery. The art work is stunning you used. Your rhymes are excellent in this poem. Effective metaphor and great use of alliteration cap off your poem with a very good spiritual message. I enjoyed the lines: "I read through the Gospels, every word every part, And felt a seed of faith become planted in my heart. Though small as a mustard seed it has a mighty power, It smashes down my strongholds, so I no longer cower." Your poem is a contender for a possible win in contest. I wish you good luck in the contest with your beautifully composed poem. I'd recommend your poem to other readers. Thanks for sharing your creative poetry writing. I wish you a blessed day.
Missy.

Enjoyed reading your poem describing two types of seeds; the seed of doubt and the seed of faith. Also, liked how you describe how each can affect one's life. The seed of doubt whispers "There's no hope for you,' in a slow,steady drip."
Where as the seed of faith is delivering,freeing and empowering.

This is an excellent poem. Such a powerful message told with great imagery. Great rhyme and rhythm. The two three-word stanzas really stress the message. Very well written

I am not a religious person, however, I thought this poem was very well written. The flow is absolutely fantastic and really has a pattern to it.

Nice touch with three single word lines. They have a certain powerful ring to them. Sort of like a drumbeat or something.

"Every vein, every groove" - Really paints a spectacular picture

"Depression followed seizing" - I understand what this lines means, but I found it very distracting because it's an odd way to phrase something. At this point the flow of the poem was lost to me for a bit because of it.

"There is no hope ... " - In this line you have two open quotation. Just needs to be changed to a closed quotation.

"The deceiver ... Life" - This is another area that lost flow for me.

Great job on this fantastic poem. The rhyme is subtle, but there and easy to follow. You really manage to tell a detailed story in your poem which is great. This was well written and enjoyable to read.

Thanks for sharing
Anisa

Wow! Well this definately does what it says on the tin, or in this case, in the contest brief. Wow again! Fantastically emotive description of depression and wonderfaul description of faith too. Good luck in your contest - Cally

Well-written spiritual poem.

Yout doubt was consumed by the Word of God.
I like the three word separation after stanzas 1 and 5.
This format emphasizes the importance of the enslavement and the glory of the empowerment.

Well done.
Good luck in the contest!
