Excellent

This poem has my name on it: Psychedelic art that I want on my wall today and a spiritual poem that I empathize with and say as a prayer in different words myself. I really like the phrase "let me be your conduit." "And to your will my will submit" is profound in that, as far as I know, that is the best, maybe the only way, to become a conduit for God. This is one great inspirational poem. I hope it reaches many and inspires them. Maryellen

Maryellen, thank you. I absolutely refused to go with the praying hands statue on fan art. LOL I am so grateful for your most encouraging and gracious comments. Brooke :-)

This is a lovely poem done in the Triolet form. It reaches in prayerlike verse for the Lord to use you as his conduit. I love that line. The words chant with the strength of true yearning. Well done.

Thank you, Pen - I was inspired by the use of "conduit" in the sermon today. Brooke :-)

Brooke,

Another excellent poem. I'm not sure of the triolet rules, but I am sure you've followed them. Having to state the same line three times in all can drag any poem down, but not this one.

I refused to go with a praying hands statue :-D Thanks, Rama.
My minister used the word conduit today and the second she said it, the poem started forming. Brooke :-)

Very good! It follows the requirements for a triolet & flows well. Kind of like a little prayer. I like the message you have given.

Okay. Hope you aren't offended. When the contests ask for rhyming they should declare whether off rhyme or slant rhyne is acceptable.
