Hi Teri. This is a nice faith Minute poem with good rhyming. In the second stanza, third line, there are only three syllables. "Ordeal" is a two-syllable word, not three. You can look it up on-line. Doesn't matter how you may pronounce it. Many people say "or-de-al," but is is "or-deal." Should be an easy fix. I hope this helps. Marilyn

Good one, Teri! I love how you always find a way to praise Jesus in your poems! There was one line that needed one more syllable:
"big ordeal " is only 3 syllables and needs four.

No need to request kindness, Teri - your minute poem is faultless. There is one line I read as only three syllables - "big ordeal", but that's just a local pronunciation thing. I can picture in my mind the way you'd say it, and it's definitely four :)

A great entry, and not just for a first time. Best of luck with it - Craig

I"m always kind I think. I noticed in THIS Minute Form Contest the traditional aabb/ccdd/eeff form is not needed, but the meter is. It would be nice if that were noted as I fear some will automatically assume the traditional rhyme scheme was required. The poem is lovely, the final lines of each stanza do not rhyme but flow beautifully--and I assume, then, they would meet the rather unusual rules for the contest. I wish you good luck!

    Thank you my friend for the lovely review and comments. I did go back in and rhyme them. I was told they needed to rhyme. Who knows! lol love, Teri

    See? This is what happens when one posts a contests regarding a traditional form and then adds BUT you don't have to do this or that....it gets very confusing! I'm glad if they had to be rhymed, you did so...it is disappointing to join a contest and find out you have been eliminated for something such as that! :)

Great poem for your first minute poem, Teri. It is pack with imagery, especially the first sentence.

The lack of punctuation works well to convey your message of God's blessings. The poem is quite inspirational.

Good luck, my friend.

Well done Teri, a great attempt to write a minute poem,, however, there is no rhyme and there is supposed to be, dear girl. The rhyme scheme is aabb ccdd eeff, do you want me to help, I have an entry in the contest, have a look at that if you wish, good luck, blessings, Riy

    Thanks my friend. I have no clue how to make this rhyme and say what I want it to say. If you have time I would appreciate your help, but it is not necessary. I just enjoyed trying to write it. Thank you my friend! Blessings, Teri
