I enjoyed your silver lining carefully put in a safe place, in a satin binding, for the good of the human race.

I like the telling from the mountain tops, and God's Divine plan that we seek. We are enemy and friend together fighting this woe.

I loved it all the way through.

I find it surprising the numbers of God statements versus science given hopes prevailing this crisis. No viewpoints meriting science conquest of the concern, just the yielded God viewpoints as Overseer of things. All stated in my opinion.

    TPAC, I for one a science bent mind, believes that is through God?s divine plan that the scientists are empowered to ramp up the needed resources to create the right solutions to abate a catastrophic event. But this is wholly my own opinion.

There's a great sense of working together, of coming through this together, of learning lessons through adversity in the theme of this poem. There's a grit to the voice. A determination. A reliance on faith to overcome fear. estory

Hello anon, a well written poem, well worded and appropriate for the present trying times. Good use of metaphor in your number one stanza.
The rhyme form is a new one for me and quite a difficult form has been well managed by you, without compromising your meaning, and the sense of the poem. Very well done with a great picture and overall display. Good Luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

I've never seen this one before, there are so many different forms, this is a fascinating one, I like it, it takes the second letter of the previous stanza and applying it to every first letter with varying letters, are there any meter challenges? Well done, blessings, Roy

I thought your poem was well constructed and rhymes well. Take a look at the second stanza, however, should the last line read prescribed days - past tense? Other than that, I think you have a good entry and I wish you well,

This is a great contest entry using a complex style. You handled it well, Mystery Author. I enjoyed reading your poem. The lines read well with good rhymes and great imagery. Because of the chosen style, the alliteration is forefront. It, too, flow smoothly. Your message is loud and clear. Yes, with God and one's faith, we can defeat this evil virus. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan
