Comment from Debbie Pope

Excellent

Your rhymes, rhythm, and message always work together to create inspirational poetry, but this one is particularly poignant. I like "blood on the sand." It conjures up the idea of Christ giving up his life for all of us with foundations of sand. And, I especially liked your notes because I am not familiar with the book of Revelations. Growing up, none of my church teachers attempted to explain that book. Yet, it is so full of images that I hear all the time.
Thank you for this one. I am out of six stars.

Excellent

A beautiful and spiritual poem for the spiritual ones here that can discern it. Jesus is coming, dear poet and brother in the faith. O, if more would pay attention to your daily offerings and believe. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the word of God. Good news in poetry form for me. Amen!
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs

This is another wonderful poem testifying how you were saved by Christ's blood and how we all may be. He is the called the Lion of Judah among many other names of praise.

Another fine example of your commitment to your faith, expressed in beautiful poetic form. I admire craftsmen, in any field of life, and I do see your writing as a craft, which you have perfected to such a high level.

A well constructed poem that flows well. There is always a new form to learn about. The language is appropriate to the subject. The poem stays on point.

A good read. Thanks for sharing.

What reassuring words in your well crafted swap quatrain. Yes, the evil one is always trying to "stalk our peace." But Jesus, the Lion of Judah, and our perfect Good Shepherd is always protecting us!

As you know, I really enjoy the swap quatrain poetry form. In this example, you have presented us with a truly outstanding second stanza with a full set of line end rhymes. I am speechless.
