The cross will always remind us of Jesus and His sacrifice for us. "First came death" are words that each of us will have to face before facing our Savior. Great job Brooke!

Comment from Changeisgood
Brooke, This little poem carries a bang; it ends with strong Anglo Saxon words that work to sew it up and transform the poem. I feel it says something profound about the origins of life, perhaps sprouting from a prior condition. Liked it but don't quite understand it, which is GOOD. Franny

Franny, thank you so very much for your thoughtful review. My point is that too many people in our society want to skip right over the suffering and cost of Good Friday and get right to the happy happy He is Risen aspect of Easter, as if there can be resurrection without something to be triumphing OVER. Brooke :-)
Comment from Nanette Mary
Hullo Brooke ...]
Strikingly presented in the Cinquain format, what you have written reminds your readers that the joy of Easter occasioned by Christ's Resurrection, follows His cruel and agonising Death on the Cross. There is nothing to suggest changing. Today - Easter Sunday - I hope and pray that you and all your loved-ones are being abundantly blessed by our Heavenly Father as you rejoice at the Resurrection of His Divine Son.
Love from .... Nanette Mary.

Comment from Mike K2
I see the lesson in that as being, that sometimes to make a point, they must persist even if it spells their own death. I wondered how someone could give their life so freely, then I realized there are tortures worse then death, and when you are so sentenced, you know that relief will come.
I find this an excellent poem; simple, but well phrased and elegant.

Comment from teafor2
adewpearl--Title, symbolic artwork and concise words
reference/reverence the salient event that 'saved' hu-
manity. A sagacious reminder to reader(s) that without
this prior sacrifice there would be no salvation, hence
no resurrection. Much piously stated in this sparse con-
strained verse. teafor2

Bravo, Brooke!
So much said in this Cinquain. There we see our Savior's love, and there we see that life after death awaits us. Have a joyous Easter.
Warmly, Rebecca

Beautiful poem in a difficult format, but in this case, every word is in the perfect position to express what you want about Jesus and the hope that he brought for us.
Kind regards
