"True North", is short, succinct and very much to the point. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but I only have fives left. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Thanks for the kind words and review, Duchess!
Hi Chip,
As always, you're more than welcome.
Take care and God bless you,
the Duchess :))) :)))

Great work on this piece. I think it was a good choice to only capitalize the H in 'Him', as it draws the eye. I like the idea of the 'soul's compass'. Best of luck on the contest!

You have certainly mastered the 5-7-5 genre, something that has definitely eluded me to date. Although I am no longer very religious, your poem resonates with my sense of what faith and trust should be. Very enjoyable!
All the Best!

Hi Chip - loved your post. Since 5-7-5, you may want to look at line two. I would call towards, one syllable. Certainly correctible as, Up Towards. In any event, well written. I like the imagery. Bill

In my opinion, a clear view of one's spirit, artfully and smoothly presented in lyric free verse form - fully compliant with the prompt in its syllable count. Best of luck in the contest with this simple, but revered declaration...

You've managed to write a lovely poem despite the syllable restriction. I always find these little ones difficult, but you've done very well.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Very good 5-7-5 contest entry. I hope your compass
is right and you have found your true love. I also hope I read your poetry correctly. Regardless, a very good entry.

Your poem of faith is inspirational! With very few words you've stated your "direction" and we understand you priorities in life. Well done! Best of luck in the contest!

Soon we will travel there and the day will be sooner than people think. One way path toward glory, the brightness of the great I AM. Blessings to the poet. Truth.
