I can't tell you if the meter is right but you've got the syllable count correct. If the meter is right, then you've got an excellent entry in the contest, Buck

Thank you, Buck. The rules for this contest have said that the iambic meter is not necessary this time, which was really good news for me, because I have no idea what 'Iambic meter' is! I really must find out what it is. LOL. Thank you for your lovely review! Sandra :)

You, my dear are a masterful writer. I don't believe I've read anything of yours I have not liked. My favorite by far still of the Chimney Sweep and this one now is close up there.
For your first time writing this poem you've just hit a home run, a grand salami! Superb.
So nicely done. John

You are so kind, John, thank you so much for your wonderful compliment. The Chimney Sweep Boy, was hard to write, thinking of those poor children who had to do that everyday of their short lives. I'm really pleased you enjoyed this one too. Thank you and a big hug for the shiny 6 stars! :) Sandra

Oh Sandra, I hope you 'got it right' too because I LOVED it! This is beautiful, and I don't think there could be a more perfect topic. Best of luck in the contest, my friend.

Minute poem. Don't think I ever read one. But if this is an example of one, then I think I'm going to like them. Beautiful art work you've chosen for this.

How....? Hi Sandy....-smile-...I watched...CNN...do something....good. They started airing ...ahh honoring....people who...went about doing good. I remember the first time I seen it.....it broke my heart in gratitude....and confirmed God's existence...usually that hand you speak of is human Spirit filling the cup of another...with proof. whenever good...stands against evil we are the frame of Jesus pictured in someone's eyes....breathing a living faith real enough to believe in. Its a most beautiful write....love you Michael

I know what you mean, Pyrro, is an old rascal! He reviewed this one in his sweet way. He is really quite nice when you get to know him. LOL. This site contest has taken out the iambic meter, so try writing another one. There is more freedom this way. I'm glad you enjoyed mine. Thank you so much. :) Sandra

I don't know the rules for this style of poetry, but who cares? The message of hope and caring are profound. Way to go with this one.
