Hi Teresa. Well, it would make a good bluegrass kind of thing. Needs a bit of a bluesy feel, I think. But, hey ...I am a poet not a musicain. Sounds like a good bit of thinking though.
hope allis well.

Life here is a bit tough at the mo...so, maybe it is just all projection...but it will change...everyday is new.

I liked your poem, the way you approach the issue of sin, the blame and like everyone has an outlet. Interesting work, well done and good expressed forms. Congratulations for your work, a hug from Chile.

Comment from Jacqueline M Franklin

Exceptional

Hey, Teresa....

AWESOME...six star worthy.

One minor tweak I observed by reading this like a song. It could just be me, BUT, (It) in the last line kind of throws the rhythm off in my head.

This ball and chain
has been laid down
it has been laid down

Instead, I'd just repeat the line
--- has been laid down ---

Another approach is you could keep rhythm by adding a couple of words ---

it has been laid down.
oh, yes, it has been laid down

For what it is worth, so use or lose, kiddo. Great job either way.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'.... Jax (*.*)

Yes, writer these could be song lyrics. The words flow in such a way that they sing to me. As a person of faith and knowing how much Jesus did for me when He took my sin upon Himself I am awed. I want to praise Him and to do the best I can to bring honor to Him. Keep writing, Blessings, Pat

spiritual free verse 'Ball and Chain.' This is a great spiritual poem you have managed to create here. More words have been used as inspiration from the Bible, than any other source on earth. Well done.
