Wonderful spiritual reflexives. It's seem like an act of faith and love. Something that allowed me in search of the real meaning of life... So beautiful!
God bless you,

Thank you for reviewing my work. Muchas gracias!
Comment from E.P. Thomas
The first paragraph of an expository essay must state the topic of the essay. In this case, the topic is "Why Do I Write Poetry." You did state your reasons, but not in a clearly defined manner. To paraphrase, "up from my many valleys of death, up from the sum of my wants,up from the totalness of my weaknesses" tells me very little about why you write.

Beautiful and inspiring, your word choice and imagery are indeed spirit inspired. Your faith is evident and enviable. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and experiencing the feelings it evoked. It is meant to be shared.

What an inspiration for writing.
The 23rd Psalm was my Grandmother's favourite as well.
As on of the most popular songs it is easy to see it's effect throughout your whole entry.
The Shepherd is certainly helping you find green pastures.
Long may his help continue.

Comment from vandawalker
Good insight to compare writing poetry with the 23rd psalm! I like..."my freckled fingers feel the call to". It's the alliteration! The details brought out seem genuine and true. I enjoyed this poem.

My spirit is dimpled and dented--very good. Excellent imagery and transliteration of the psalm. The writing is very visual and lively. Excellent job.

Comment from RavenShrift
I like that this entry has a very poetic feel to it, in keeping with the question of why you write poetry. I feel you've allowed the reader into the depths of what drives your poetry. My only critique is the following sentence:
"I grasp it light" should be "I grasp it lightly"
Good luck in the contest.

Wow, this is magical, creative and most lovely.
How clever to use one of the best poems ever
writen and make it your own. That's talent.
The sentiment expressed is comforting and
excellent, too. Good luck in the comp.

What incredible good fortune has befallen this writer, who sees in her urge to create and to compose, the unmistakeable hand of God.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
We all write for different
reasons, but your words tell
me you write poetry as it
brings you closer to God.
Good luck with the contest, my friend.
