Hello Author, what a lovely sonnet. You also followed the form to a T. Perfect syllable count and the meter was just perfect too. Good luck in the contest.

This sonnet, I'm Free at Last, has the proper formatting and gives notice that the sins of the past are in the past and that the grace of God is what makes up the present and future.

I enjoyed your contest entry, Mystery Author. Good job with the prompt. The picture choice is beautiful. Your sonnet flows well and adheres to the rules of an English sonnet. Your message is loud and clear and nice to read about. Thanks for sharing and best wishes Jan

Ten syllable lines in abab quatrains, three of them, and a closing couplet, for fourteen lines. And the ninth line begins with but. This form probably has a name and nationality. An excellent faith poem.

This is good to read on those bad days when you think you're along and He's not listening or there for you. You did a great job and I didnt see anything needed changing

I enjoyed reading your verse of faith and strong hope. It is true that we must trust the Lord with the things we do not understand. Well done and good luck in the contest.

I loved your sonnet, it flows so perfectly and the rhymes are spot on. Line 12, the last word should be (way) not (away). It just needs fixing before the contest starts, good luck, love Dolly x

Does really being sorry for what a person's done, really deserve forgiveness? What about the person who has suffered at the hands of the perpetrator? How are the innocent suppose to be redeemed if they hate the person who wronged them. You're poetic formant is good, I just can't grasp the message. Best wishes.

    Thank you Victor for your review.
    I've been on both sides - in need of forgiveness and needing to forgive. I can tell you that both are necessary for me. The Lord's prayer says, "and forgive my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me". Sounds like a condition in there to me. I will be forgiven the same way that I forgive. Well....I know that I want forgiveness.
    On the other hand, we have all seen atrocities on the news and I hope I never have to deal with someone harming one of my children or grandchildren as that might be a whole other ball game.

    Blessings my friend

    My beliefs do not make your poetry and your beliefs any less tangible. I do appreciate you not feeling offended. I believe that is a sign of a true Christian. (Christ Like) You are welcome, Janet.
