Purgatory's Hill
"No matter what mistakes I do now make
The Lord my God will not my soul forsake."
This is an excellent poem about Purgatory's Hill.
to climb to the gates of purgatory would be hell.
If we are truly sorry one can escape this 'purgatury'
Jesus has told us he can and does forgive us.
Jesus is God, part of the Trinity many cannot understand.
I loved the sincerity when you promised God to change.
Forgiveness is there by God when we are truly sorry.
I loved this poem and mesage.
Honeytree.

What a thoughtful poem you have written, expressing a virtue that is so lacking in humanity today - integrity. Using the English sonnet as the basis for your contest entry takes great skill and your sonnet is very well written and expresses worthwhile, admirable thoughts. Best of luck to you in the contest. Blessings, Linda

I have written a few sonnets, but I dont write many of them because I tend not to enjoy reading them much. However, I enjoyed reading this sonnet. I liked the use of traditional christian language in not so traditional ways.

Yes, I like being caught between being Christian and post-Christian. Thanks for a great review.

Hi Alvin,
I feel the tone of regret clearly in your sonnet. Very strong wording expressing those feelings. I like the sonnet very much and will read about it. I wrote two poems and got reviewers telling me it was almost a sonnet! and I didn't know it.
Thanks for sharing your talent, most enjoyable read.
Love
Pupa

A beautiful poem, Al and one that does exactly what it is supposed to do for this contest. I love the way you express first the remorse and regret and then the relief that comes with the unconditional love of God, through Christ's sacrifice.
Excellent word choices here. Very beautiful work. You are a truly talented poet.

I thought you would like this one--it shows how much we have in common. Thank you for a wonderful review.
Comment from carolm5415
What I like best in this sonnet is the way the writer displays his regret at having given in to his lust. He is feeling such pain at having perhaps forsaken a vow. The rhythm flows really well also. A very lovely poem.

Nice sound with a Brownian ring to it. You have the rhythm and phonics of a true sonnet. The last line is especially effective. Best. Ray
