Comment from AP Apgar

Exceptional

I like your excellent senryu poem - Excellent picture presentation to go along with the write - Perfect. Poem is well written with good word count and flow ` clever message definitely over the target - Protection has truly provide us with a lot more than we could ever understand - getting wrapped inside the never quiet mind, we so often forget to stop for a moment ever once in a while , step back, take a break, become the observer - and give thanks for all our blessings. Good Job AP

It takes faith to address the ugliness of the world and depend on God's "Omnipotent Protection" to keep living to see "better days." Best wishes in the contest!

If we have Jesus in our life, there is always hope; He has the power to do anything. He can heal; the miracles that He performs are beyond our imagination.

Wonderful entry for the 5-7-5 Hope writing prompt.

Beautiful presentation and imagery.

Good syllables count but the connection between lines can be improved.

Good luck in the contest.

The author's words make it clear to NOT hold on to something in this
world for Hope! The first two lines of this poem flow and connect
well. The last line says it all! The poem for me implies to rely on God
for Hope! I like the words above the title! The artwork is awesome!

When I think of things you're absolutely correct, I don't know whether we lean on God enough, Jesus said, "come to me you heavy laden and I will you rest" beautifully written, good luck, blessings Roy
