Comment from Janet Foor
A lovely unusual rhyming poem based on a beautiful picture Tintern Abbey. Thank you for the history of the poem as well. I too often have an inspiration, but don't write it down until much later. Oh no, was I putting myself in the category with Wadsworth. I don't think so. (smile)
I enjoyed your poem very much.
Blessings

Comment from Ric Myworld
AS I've often said, when it comes to poetry, I wouldn't know a sonnet from sorbet. But when someone has a magical way with words, even I can enjoy the musical cadence. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
It took me a while to realize the rhyming scheme you used. Since this contest was for a rhyming poem, I was looking for rhymes in each stanza until I realized each sentence of each stanza rhymes with the same sentence in the last and next stanza. In other words, ABCD, ABCD, ABCD, ABCD. It may have been helpful to define your rhyming scheme.
Nicely worded though.

Comment from GeraldShuler
This is written with the feel of someone reaching deep within to remember reasons to stay faithful to life. Hurt and pain exist for all but the salve of understanding is so refreshing. You chose a good poem to take lines from and great lines to inspire your own thoughts. Well done.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Good try but I wonder if how you included Wordsworth poem to begin is what was asked. I found the rules imposing so I did not partake. I think whoever wanted the lines to be incorporated in the authors words. Two others accepting the challenged did so. I could be wrong. William's works are among my favorites. Good luck.

So here you go Tom, I agree with you about Wordsworth.
Comment from Wendy G
An interesting and well written poem, with its base being Tintern Abbey. You expressed well that sense of aloneness and that thinning of the faith which is often experienced, with a resolution to "keep firm one's resolve".
Best wishes for your entry.

You did a great job, JLR, with your contest entry. I enjoyed
reading it. Love the picture. Your words read smooth with
good rhymes and great imagery. Your theme of one struggling
with his/her faith was carried throughout. Thanks for the notes.

It's so true, that at our lowest ebb, we can feel incapable of going on, and they are desperate times, but God promises that He'll not leave us destitute nor forsaken, Hebrews 13:5, this is a beautiful adaptation of the Wordsworth poem, well done Jim, excellent job, blessings Roy
