Great poem about knowing there is a God and that he is in control and gives us things before we even ask sometimes. Great message here about our creator.

My first though was some of the abbreviations or truncations of the words seemed a little odd. However, with the author notes it made a lot more sense. Sounds like you have a very unique world view.

Well can I say Alcreator I did have to reread this piece. However I got the gist from the first read. I mean I have been reading the Bible, I know God will give you what you ask for. You did a great job with this poem. It was also less abstract than some of the others of yours I have seen. Good job!!

It is a carefully constructed poem.with the help of authors notes i was able to understand the theme.our needs are recognised even before we ask for them .how is something our scientific knowledge cannot explain.thank you for writing this form .i am seeing this for the first time.

It's certainly different and the shortening of some words did confuse me a bit--but I have to give you an "A" for the effort my friend. Better than anything I can do.

You starting words
'given,
whate'er I ask,
differently, I know,"
have a rhythm to them that is admirable.

However, I question the need for the word 'differently' (an adverb, and in contrast to 'given' must be followed by a meaning that justifies it, or has meaning that is sensible.

Then,
my Science Math thought goes wrong, ---what's this have to do with given whate'r I need' ??? And why would your Math Science 'go wrong'??? In calculation, in class?? What is the distraction?

an unseen eye, keeps track
my needs, ----who???

It's been a while since I've seen a rictameter.. since I started a contest for them, actually. Don't knw why they're not popular.

Okay, you want prof review, but I am not a pro so I'll jsut be honest.

>>unexplained power 'yond mort' offers per
>>natural, unknown, mystic ord,

You should avoid shortening words that are not commonly shortened (yond is okay) just to fit the syllable requirements. I see that a major failing here. There are soooooooo many ways to word the same idea that it's really inexcusable, I think. It also disrupts the flow of the poem, which is very impt to the reader. So, altho I give this five stars for message, it's really not a five-star rictameter. :)

Right, we're never that smart, regardless of our education and sophistry. The omniscient eye knows what we want and need before we do. Kenny

I have read, re-read and read again, but I still cannot find a coherent message in this obviously carefully constructed writing. Additionally, the use of unusual, often very archaic words to make the syllable count OK, while not reflecting any sense is not really an acceptable method. I once again urge you to pay attention to grammar and syntax. Then, your obviously fertile mind will have more chance of being known.
