Hello my brother, Nomi: You are sounded like someone related to me in the faith. You have mentioned some bible truth that I know that I am correct about also. Yes, Satan will soon be abyssed and the resurrection hope is the anchor of my faith. I so look forward to welcoming back all of my loved ones from the grave into a perfect world where mankind will finally reach perfection to live forever and ever under God's rule, God's Kingdom. Also I love it that you didn't mention that Jesus was nailed to a cross. I am learning much about you and So far I like it very much, Very nicely done with this poem. Some of my spiritual poems are, "My God, You Were There," "In Honest Prayer" "Imperfect" See you soon.

    My dear sister, I am so glad that I have found you. The truth about Jehovah God's kingdom and his dear son Jesus the Christ are not popular subject with the Pharisees, Seduces, and the Pontius Pilates of todays world..

    I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. The truth is really hard to hide but easy to pick up from those rare few who are so wonderfully drawn by Jehovah to receive and benefit from the truth. Sometimes this site is used for my ministry because I have included Jehovah's name in quite a few of my posts. In my reviews - if the chance pops, I always leave about three or four scriptures in the review with an explanation about the scriptures. On Fan friend asked me why I did not celebrate Christmas and my answer to her took me about forty minutes to type so I included this as time in the ministry. I have wriiten other poetry about Jehovah but I just gave you a few. I typed up an experience that I went through in which Jehovah saved my life and it won 1rst prize ("For God Nothing is Impossible") but I revealed that Jehovah is the true God. No one doubted anything that I said. I actually had to witness back and forth about my faith with one guy who thought he could question me about God's existence. He finally realized that there was nothing that he could say to me to convince me that Jehovah does not exist and he said as much. I told him that we were really not going to get anywhere but I could not read his work because he is so anti-God. He still keeps reading my work anyway but this turned out to be quite a few hours for me in the ministry. Anyway, I will reach out later, tonight is my night off from work so I must catch up on some sleep. Today's Watchtower was excellent wasn't it? Much love.

    Yes it was. I am in communication with a writer named Roy Owen, he often quotes the King James Bible, and even though I have often used Jehovah's name and quoted the NWT, he readily agrees with me and does not act like he is in opposition to what I write. Hmm....

    Yes, Roy is one of my Fans also and I read his work. At first he responded as if he was related to me in the faith but then he cleared it up by saying that he feels that we are related because we are spiritual people. He's a great guy. One time he offered some religious channel to me for my grief. I think I gracefully said no thank you. we have our own literature that really helps me with this already.

    We do still share scriptures with each other. I usually use their bible when I share scriptures. This is so that they could see with their own eyes that the bible says Jehovah is God's name, there will be an earthly paradise and death will be removed forever and ever. Mankind will be able to live under God's Kingdom on an earth that will be what God originally purposed for us. The resurrection is also right in their own bibles, the truth about death and hell. Well, we can only do what we can do. I will reach out to you tomorrow after my ministry and bible study with my son. I will be reading some more of your work then, good night, my brother and I am happy that we found each other. There was another sister on this site but she never read my work and we lost contact. Much love...

    Thank you for sharing your witnessing testimony with me. While I am not trying to promote my book, my latest book "My Three Phases" has an entire section dedicated to religious poetry. Some of those poem are in my portfolio. If you are willing to share your email address I will send you some of my favorites via email so that I don't have to worry about promotions or such.

Noni,

Your poem creatively describes satan's presence in this world, from the conception of mankind to current.

As there is a good spirit, there is an evil one. Thus, we must be aware of both.

I was going to suggest some grammar edits, but I see other reviewers have already done so.

Thank you for sharing this poem.

I respect the deep convictions in your beliefs, even though I do not ascribe to the exclusivity in them. I love Christ, but I am not Christian.

I hope people are reviewing the poem's delivery more than the content...that's what I do!

I am not a fan of poems with words like Satan and Christ mostly because they all tend to sound similar (in general) and portray a rigid world view that condemns people who do not share it.

However, I thought your delivery here quiet unique and well voiced. I also admire the intensity of your faith. I admire your keen sense of the music of words, especially with rhyming.

Strong opening statement, with biblical tone and voicing:


The devil is a liar
And the truth is not with him
His lies and his deceptions
Are in near perfect rhythm

RHYTHM and WITH HIM as a rhyme pair is a stroke of poetic genius! Bravo!

*optional suggestion:

He misled Adam and Eve
Led them down a garden path

Misled and led are so similar. I suggest replacing LED with a synonym.
Example:


He misled Adam and Eve
prompted them down a garden path

*
He made the e(E)arth so dirty

Earth is a proper noun in this context.

*
God was Forced to give it a bath

not sure if the ca on forced is a typo or intentional?


*
Jesus Christ came to the e(E)arth

*flow halted with non-grammatical comma here:

His mission was,(NO COMMA) to redeem man

Good flow of crescendo in this stanza...made me smile:

The Christ was nailed to a tree
Dead for days one, two and three
From the grave, he was set free
Now free to save you and me GOOD DELIVERY IN THIS ANA LINE!


Love this:
Satan will soon be abyssed
Not one day will he be missed

Sweet and tender closing note:

Resurrected family
Will be welcomed back, hugged and kissed



Abyssed ad a verb-inventive! Enjoyed!


Warmly, rd

thank you for sharing this piece. I loved how you managed to portray the flood with the words, 'God was forced to give it a bath.' This was structured well and echoed the words of the Bible,

Ahhh, This is so very true, my friend. You did a great job writing it in to a flowing poem. Nicely done. I love your last stanza.
"Satan will soon be abyssed
Not one day will he be missed
Resurrected family
Will be welcomed back, hugged and kissed" perfectly said.

Spiritual poetry can be uplifting. This isn't bad, but the actual writing isn't all that great. Some of the rhymes are forced. Forced is capitalized in the middle of a sentence. Syllables are off in the rhyme scheme.

More power to you for writing about your beliefs. They shine through strong and clear. However, the piece needed another edit to make it flow properly. As is, the message gets a bit mangled by the execution.

Here's an example:

"From the grave, he was set free
Now free to save you and me "

The last line has one too few syllables. Add "both" before "you and me" and it would work.

Ultimately, good message but the poetry itself needs work. The image also seems off kilter for the piece. It looks like a dinosaur or dragon, not Satan or a serpent.

    Thank you for your review. Please excuse me but your name bears a too close similarity to Lucifer for my comfort. I'm just saying.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I'm all into your great witness of the word of Jesus. Yes, I believe.
Last paragraph, I would add "redeemed and resurrected family.'"
I like your poems and you added the cross of Calvary where Jesus
shed his blood for us to redeem us...bought with a price of blood.
Add a comma after now, free...
Excellent poem. God bless. flylikeaneagle - nancy

Great use of words. Definitely, this poem shows passion and strong faith. It is admirable. I hope, though, that humans who have faith like yourself, would not try so hard to convert and, basically, deceive others, to accept faith blindly. It is dangerous. Perhaps, you ought to be more open minded and see other ways that can take us to the true light.

    Please forgive me if you think or thought that I was trying to convince or convert you. I believe that every one has a right to choose to live as he desires, because in the end if you are right in your choice no harm done. If you are wrong then you can blame no one else for your own poor choice.
