Lovely. Very spiritual and calming. I enjoyed the flow of this although was it supposed to be a piece of poetry or a story? I liked it either way.

I love that you give God glory in this lovely piece of writing that is almost a poem in itself.
Each of us worship in our own way and you seem to do it with words while spreading the message at the same times. Those seed with grow. God bless you, Midge

Had to read this, as I saw no way the original could be improved upon. Applying this to your craft, your art, is a new Creation, and I think the one who judges each thought and act is smiling over your shoulder right now. Perfectly creative--no improvements or suggestions other than..keep exercising that talent! later and God bless, shy

Poet,

It is clear that you reached deep within to write this
beautiful piece. You have expressed your love for both
poetry and God extremely well. I like the pen/rod metaphor,
your alliteration and the references to the 23 psalm.

I also particularly liked these lines:

"my blank paper bursts to overflow with a banquet of syllables dressed as seeds."

Blessings,
Linda

    It more than worthy of the rating. I see
    that poetry has brought you much healing
    as well and connection to God.
