Hiya,
There is a lot going on in this piece, there are repitions and rhymes while there is no specific form. Often writing like this lis a brave move and hard to get right but I think you've done it.

Remember me
Remember me

You mention remember me 5 times, and I am providence 4 times, what is happening here you are not letting the read forget who the piece is about.

This was cleverly constructed and worked really well, and a great read xx

    much love my friend...I always remember the song...I think it was entitled, "Never pick a fight with a Poet," do not remember who sang it but it was a quality song,

    much obliged,

I am confused. Is not Providence, God? The stanza of-I will kill your sons and daughters,
first with my words:
then with my love. Is throwing me.

"I will kill your sons and daughters,

then with my love."
This is a definite emotional work here. The words above really stuck with me for awhile. Wow...

The poem poses the age-old questions of did things just happen or are they as religion teaches a product of God. One's faith will dictate the side of the argument one chooses. The poem was written well, and the graphics enhance it nicely. Curtis

Well, I guess this poem's not talking about Providence, Rhode Island, so I'll have to give it some thought. Thanks for sharing it here, and thanks for the great 8 points and 1.14 member dollars.

cheers

Your poem is thought provoking.
The only issue I have with your write is that you haven't distinguished between whom the white horse kills and who lives. Not all 'sons and daughters' will perish when this figurative horse makes its ride. There are people deserving of life and those deserving of death. Your poem makes a blanket statement, which in my humble opinion, doesn't stand.
As for the style of poem, I enjoyed the brevity and conciseness.

I thought long and hard about this six...I like to give them when I am moved and inspired. At first I resisted being moved, I could somehow feel it, it is the tension that is tearing me apart... At any rate I had a sense of what providence meant, but I admit I had to look it up...And I was moved. I realize the source of that tension, and I thank you for reminding me of how providence is truly a natural reflection of what is whithin, Very Nice, I appreciate the simplicity with which it is presented, it has a great energy and flow.

Hey there Pal
This is an rather engaging bit of poetic thought. I read quite a bit into it; however I got more of a sinister plot than one of a spiritual nature. It is good to make the reader ponder
