I know little about the technical aspects of poetry. I am drawn to the message or philosophy. In this case I resonate with your message. I am no stranger to the dark and fearful thoughts. I have come to trust and rely on God where ever She is found. Good write and thanks.

Hi Mystery Poet,
You have penned a fabulous poem for the contest. Your excellent word choices are enhanced by a lyrical rhyme and syllable count. The three lines at the end of each verse is effective and the flow is smooth. Well done....blessings, chey

Comment from Helvi2
Love the discovery of faith in your poem. I think these two verses really show the way doubt can come and take over you soul.
It wrapped itself around me until I could not move,
Filling my whole body, every vein, every groove.
Paralyzed by fear, not knowing what to do,
It fed upon my weakness `till into a mountain it grew.
Falling, falling down the never ending hole,
The darkness is a silence that shrouds my very soul.
Depression followed seizing, holding me in its grip,
Chanting, ``There`s no hope for you,`` in a slow, steady drip
THe words are powerful and you can feel the soul weakening within them. THe flow within your poem helps you feel the emotions even more. I love how you placed the three words that were deceiving you apart from the main poem as well as the three seeds of faith words.Your heart reallly went into the composistion of this poem. It is well written and is thought provoking.
Veru Nicely Done! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi

Author--An enchanting and pious teaching conducted with
these rhyming quatrains and terse tercets. Scribe's mov-
ing story depicts an infamous and powerful demon that is
a pretty convincing if the mind, body and soul is weak;
"Falling, falling down the never ending hole,
The darkness is a silence that shrouds my very soul.
Depression followed seizing, holding me in its grip,
Chanting, ``There`s no hope for you,`` in a slow, steady drip."
Protagonist was in a helpless, hapless and hopeless sit-
uation until by chance an ever present/popular book taken
to heart, and made all the difference;
"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."
A creative an inspiring story of faith. Good luck in the
contest. teafor2

All glory to God for his wonderful power to heal and restore.
Great poem. Spot on. The last line while absolutely true seemed to hiccup. Perhaps I wasn't reading it correctly.
I was very moved by your expression of depression and needing deliverance from strongholds. Outstanding.

Hi-
That is an interesting little nightmare
poem that you've written... I feel
exactly the same thing whenever I read
news about Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck...
it seems that whatever comes out of
their mouths is the foulest, most
devilish evil ever formed by the lips
of men... then again, there's always
Hitler to fall back on, when they fail
to amuse.
Nice! ZW
