Another deep poem.
I enjoy reading your work, They are very clever.
I like that fact that to release ones guilt and shame, you would need to commit acts that would bring on guilt and shame.
A good discussion point would be, What has the character in the poem done to seek penance.
thanks for the read.

You lost me when you said, "I like that fact that to release ones guilt and shame, you would need to commit acts that would bring on guilt and shame." Maybe it's because writing on that like this is more difficult to interpret. One needs to undergo self-examination about what they had done wrong and serve penance to the aggrieved (the party in which they did wrong to - whether intentionally or not). That way they can release their guilt, knowing they acknowledged it and either asked for forgiveness or offered restitution. Is that how you interpreted it? As that is what was meant. There is no single character in this poem. It is just about the definition of penance and what the outcome of it can be. So that I know you did not misunderstand the meaning, please clarify a bit more about your comment. Thanks very much for your excellent review. Always welcomed and appreciated. Sue

I think you really captured the meaning of penance in this work cuz. It is a succinct and and telling description of how we can move on past our mistakes. I love the format, it really compliments the word use too.
Sincerely,
Curt

Yes, I've fallen in love with this form and want to write a few more. Want to stick to the theme of virtues, attributes, etc. Thanks very much for your review. Always respect them. Sue

Sixteezkid,
The theme was good. The descriptive words you chose were very good. Telling things very plain and simple. Formatting was well done.
There were no errors to be found.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,

Sue - Nicely crafted poem of humility and righting those wrongs done in the past. Still don't know how you can write in such a tightly structured format. Well done. Charlie

I didn't know I could write anything before November. The formats are a great teaching tool to learn to cull unnecessary words. Something that can help any writer. Hone, hone, hone! HA! Thanks for your review, Charlie. Always, Sue

You did a wonderful job with the structure of this poem--keeping within form--while presenting a complete message. I found no errors. Good job.

This form of writing is new to me and I really have to work at it. That said, I can appreciate the skill required to hold, not only the syllable count, but also to maintain a metre that does not jar and still present an integrated whole.
Congratulations.
Regards
Reg

Your poem is well crafted, saying so many true things in these short, well written lines.
I like the idea of penance, of sorrow for things gone wrong.
Well done.
