This virus does yield its concerns, receiving your best wishes during this dramatic event, needing all to repent and consider a better course than directed. All stated in my opinionated viewpoint.

Hello and smiles to you JLR for showing us how to use the Fibonacci Spiral format for us to use and write a Fibonacci Spiral poem.
Thank you telling us here on Fanstory to sit of kneel to pray to protect us from the continuous spreading virus.

This is very descriptive poem for the prompt. I love the imagery in your words and details the photo you chose is delightful. Though personally I believe God is not the answer to save us from ignorance of man and man's refusal to kneel to each other and ask for mercy and truth by personal change, I like reading poems of faith that have good poetic devices. I wish you well with this unique form in the contest.

    Michael, I am a man of strong spiritual witness to a higher power that certainly did give my "free will" and to that end we, as a cog in the greater collective, must depend at times like these that everyone can tap into the HIGHER SELF and make a better effort of brotherly love, then perhaps there will be a healing that is of cosmic proportions.

This is an absolutely beautiful poem, it hit me right in the heart. Of course it is Saturday so I am out of sixes, but this is a six. It is touching,sensitive, and flows beautifully. Relying on God is foreign to some people, it is my way of life. We all need to stick together, and to pray. Thank you for this lovely poem.

In my opinion, this free verse poem is stunning in smoothly delivered verse and an outstanding presentation in its entirety. I found the layout and complementary image both dramatic and warmly constructed - it appears as an amazing demonstration of the form...

Wonderful message from your Fibonacci poem! And I recognize the picture location - it's Multnomah Falls. What a great idea to have a name be a sound. Love your call to prayer for all of us to ask for God's grace and deliverance.

    lyenochka, I have personally found Mulnomah Falls as a thin place...(scared place)

This poem reflects the prayers of many worldwide. This is the time to kneel and pray for deliverance. In the meantime, we can practice the qualities that God wants us to use that will bring glory and honor to Him.
