Hi Teresa, I love the message you are sending out in your wonderful poem, and to compare a seedling to human life is just so spot on! three great stanzas to the glory of God, Great!

Exceptional

He certainly is, regardless of geographical, or religious borders. I love your poem, that through you, shows how very simple, how natural it is to promote love, and Gods eternalness, blessings...Judy

I suppose you know Ambrose Bierce's definition of blank verse? Look it up.

Your last verse is a bit illogical: metaphorical waves may spread words across oceans, or to lands, but not across lands

I took a class several months ago here on FS. My instructor ranked this with a six. Thanks for your review and comments:)

The seed dies to live
Descends that it may ascend
and stand strong
To face whatever comes its way

Enjoyed your thoughts in this one, Buck

Teresa, the varied meter is fine and it should never fully dictate the way a poem should read. We can get too caught up in the mechanics and miss the message. You have conveyed much biblical truth in this write. :0 GracieAnn

Dear Teresa - A great blank verse as I read it aloud. No clue on meter, but I still got a lot out of this work. Great spiritual, and well crafted poem that has me pondering your message. I enjoyed it a great deal.
Thanks for sharing.
Maureen

This am sure is a reflection of our life and the relationship we have with our creator.
It's a promise from God to us.
You are ccommunicating through the seed of life that you are a child of God with faith.
I like it.

Hi Teresa,

Wow - I just love comparing a human to a plant. I like thinking of myself as a seed and particularly enjoyed the line: so I can reach for Heaven up above

That really provoked a strong image of a person on bended knee, arms up and hands extended.

Hugs,
Lou

How lovely your blank verse poem is, Teresa. The form still scares the dickens out of me. Your enjambment makes the read smooth, and I love your message.
Smiles,

Thanks Karyn. Since I rarely write anything other than free verse I thought I should keep up my meter skills that I learned in class - lol.
