Ciao Cindy McIntyre!

Many preferred the divine light intepretation but my favourite lines are the first one and the second one like you.

The black back ground made the pic come out more ..I like the finally layout too.

Thanks for stopping over and voting .

Powerful and well written five - seven - five poem with a worthwhile message about 'light,' (with a double-meaning). Excellent use of artwork, colors, font, and arrangement reinforces the poem. Great job!

A pleasure to meet you kathleenspalding.!

Yes, the word " light " has more than one meaning ..some see it as the divine light ..others achieving understanding about one's life..

Thank you so much for wanting to share your view with me ...I much appreciate the 5 star vote too.

All the best for the new weekabout to begin.

Exceptional

I read it as a tittle to a whole story. Very impressive the words are deep and a verse that i found very easy to discover what it was supposed to mean.I like the picture a lot.It does deserve a six. Well done

Nice to meet you, tbacha58 !

I 'm glad you appreciated my poem enough to give it a shiny six star vote.

Some that reviewed the poem thought that the light was in reference to God .. There are a few other interpretations

I liked the pic too special with the black background which makes the light stand out more.

Thank you for the
Great review and vote !

This personification of light 5-7-5, Truth Teller, has the correct formatting and let's us know that ligh5 is truth. Dishonesty seeks the shadows and cannot bear up under scrutiny.

Thanks Schott for the review and generous vote.

And for your interpretation.

Each line of the poem represents light in a different way ...

A.Light ...as a source

B.Light ..like understanding

C . Light .. The divine light that shows us the path .

Thank you !

Interesting use of personification. Syllable count is correct for your entry. As all three lines do not constitute one complete sentence I would not use a period at the end since there was not punctuation elsewhere. All were statements of truth and could refer also to God if one cared to view it in that light ; ) Good luck.

Thanks for the comments ..grammar is not my strongest point ..



Nice to meet you Poesy!

I will modify the text after the contest .. Every change seems to create trouble with the writing ..those unpleasant A'A'A appear😋

Yes if someone is religious they can interpret the light as being divine but there are other options .

Thank you for reviewing and voting my work .

Comment from Loredana

Excellent

I really like how you personified light. Slipping through the cracks or through a forest of tall trees, it shows us a way out or a path to follow. Very nicely worded.

The first phrase is my favourite too

Actually, initially I wanted to use a pic with the light beaning through a forest ..but seeing there is more than one way to interprete the source of the light in the poem .. I decided on this pic ..just simple light beams.



Thank you Loredana for your review and vote.

The poem personificates three different types of light.

The first ..refers to light like ..sunlight

The second .. refers to light ...as giver of understanding..

The third .. The light refers to divine light.

readers are free to choice the source of "light" that means most to them.


Thank you do much for reviewing and voting my poem .

I like the pic too .the dark background works well.

I particularly like this poem hopefully others will to when voting.

Have a peaceful Sunday!

Very nice! This can be interpreted however the reader takes it. :) Interesting. Love the picture too. I have no additions or subtractions. I take it that Jesus shines the light for us and shows us the way. :)
Good luck with your contest.
Happy Writing,
Katy

I agree it has many interpretations ...

divine light or simply the light as in understanding ..something we all stride to achieve ..

Thanks for reviewing and voting this poem ..

I liked the pic too specially with a dark background .: it stands out well.

Comment from Anntonette

Excellent

The truth will set you free, which is kind of ironic because they are running free from the truth by telling lies. The truth is light and you will be forgiven. I totally understand this piece .

I think the source of light in question can be interpreted in different way .. Glad that you found your personal meaning ....
I see the light as something people stide to achieve so to give meaning to (their) life .

Thank you very much for you review and vote.
