Lovely, lovely, lovely writing. A beautiful poem with awesome imagery to devour through the mind's eye. No problem with your use of verbiage or creating a very vivid picture for one to enjoy. Loved it! Good luck in the contest. It is a contest, isn't it? lol God Bless and hugs, Susanne

Comment from Dr. Nad
Every Christian is a poem that reminds us that Christianity is more than just the name or title. You invite some of the hero's off of their pedestal to school us on the difference between fact and fiction. Thanks for Sharing. May God Bless You!

Comment from TPAC
Clearly a different perspective about faith than most I encounter, thought-provoking in its presentation: I found this write creative with imaginative conveyances.

Comment from Domino 2
Mysterious, thought-provoking and accomplished free verse, Michael.
Lots of subtle poetic devices, such as occasional random rhyme, assonance and consonance.
Touches of alliteration.
'sometimes I hate-
that He loves
enough to make me suffer you' - very clever tribute to God, but a shame about you being the sufferer.
Excellent.
Best wishes, Ray

I wonder when your poems will make
Sense to read at first stance
All seems a flow of words to say
Nothing that makes sense to me

I wonder why you come to someones house to insult them.
can you tell the truth...?
why do you write dude...?
I write to release whats inside without voice...and give it life. I enjoy it.....thats why.
you got anymore questions send a letter-
-
There was no insult. I just said your poems do not flow, giving picture or image to know. Still I give 5 stars because it is a poem. Just wonder when your words will give something more to feel and form. Not just a ramble of words that say little of image or form.

This poem is very well written as is all your poems. They are very deep, though, and I do find some difficult to understand lol. I'm a simple girl at heart lol. This one was great, though. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Shirley B
Dear Michael, I love this poem because I think it is telling us a whole lot more than we realize. I love poems like that. :) The picture of the guy ripping off his shirt and the line "accept any yoke." tell me a lot. Maybe I am looking to deep, which I do many times. I see where you say you found religion in Texas. Here I was brought up in a church in Oklahoma, so I know about churches in this area. "Christians' aren't always the best people in the world and they use that title to get away with many things. Great poem, Shirley

Comment from Leineco
Your poem defies the art of analysis, speaks to the
vibes that resonate - an so instead of pale review,
I offer up this poetic response :-)
Just like a soul
that twists and writhes
so the mind
must contrive
to place
the blame
on theistic divine
and swear to hold
to rules of sacrifice.
So sweet the taste
of bitter love
one can't resist
the yoke hard placed
nor shrug the clasp
of eternity's
charm.
And so the men
who write the books
control the way
man understands
the mystery
of life's dismays
and victories.

We giggled above men of dismay
pointing fingers at frustrated display
tapping shoulders in tortures feared way
whispering answers to prayers way to far too hear.
if you got the answer Lady...i'm listening...-smile-
thank you...i'm pretty sure....love Michael

LOL - hell, I don't even have the question!!!
The only question I can even begin to contemplate
is "Why". (As in Why do we ask why? and Why do we
behave that way?
Sadly, I am far the better at tearing down, than I am at constructing. . . at least when it comes to the question of faith.
-
the question of course is whats it all about...-headtilt-...get on board will ya...-headshake-...and where do I fit in...huh...?...and how come none of my wishes ever come true...why...?
-
I'm waiting....
-
LMAO! Other than speculation, based on pre-programmed expectation what on earth could I add to all the fanciful conjecture? Here's the real question - what difference does it make? If we KNEW, really knew, what?s it?s all about - do you think we would act any different (as a species)? Or would we just continue to argue about how best to honor it? There are no answers, dear boy! And maybe. . .that IS the answer. ;-)
-
-headtilt-....but thats ridiculous....
-
What's ridiculous? That there are no answers?
No causative other than "nature"? No grand
purpose other than propagation? Does the mere
existence of "reasoning" make us any different
than the birds and the bees? Or is it just a
happenstance caused by cosmic radiation?
I certainly don't know! But I will say this - IF there
is some greater meaning, it's fairly clear we have
not yet evolved to the point of comprehending it.
To wonder, is laudable. To expect a definitive
answer is folly. And leads to antagonistic stand-offs.
I can play "what if" with the best of them. . .but in the
end - it's only facts that matter. And sweetie - we simply
have none! The best we can do is act according to
our hopes and dreams. :-)
-
hm sounds rather reptilian to me....i'm afraid I'm sticking with heaven sister, until you come up with something more plausible...or at least eatable...-headshake-...thats just disgusting....and if you dont stop it I'm going smack the crap out of you......lol...sweet dreams-
Comment from RGstar
A question of faith and its asking, beautifully presented in that ever personalized cryptic style that gives that special quality to the write. Its almost as if it was meant to be read again and again to find all the hidden gems.
Nicely done, my friend. Your work is like the Da Vinci Code...thought required.
Exquisite.
Best wishes,
RG

Comment from Ben Colder
I think many of us have learned through our trials to trust in Jesus regardless the circumstance. We have tasted, We know it is bitter-sweet. Thanks for sharing.
