How clever you are with your use of the heart, mind, soul, body (temple),eyes, hands, legs, and feet in your poem explaining how each of these can help to fulfill a promise with faith and sacrafice or how they can not fulfill that promise (well that's how I'm reading it) and it reads well. I can say that I enjoyed reading it several times. The only thing that is tying me into this meaning is the last line "the feet you stand like an oak, holding the promise of your commitments."

Improvements would be the soul is not given a purpose like the others, legs "give strength", hands "carry your compassion".. I've read it several times and it feels like something is more is needed for the soul.

Although I enjoy what you have written for the soul I think to make it work with the rest of the poem it feels like it needs something else. In my humble opinion.

But other than that, good job.

Excellent writing on this poetry about getting married. Nice picture chosen of all the people at a wedding in front of the church.

I liked the poem and the photo illustrating it. It sounds like a strange vow before a wedding and it is impressive in cadence and tone too:
"The soul the allusive butterfly so frail without the heart and mind,

The temple your body is given freely in love, or taken in whim or revenge".

The end is crowning its grave chord.

I enjoyed that the body played it's own part in each line of the poem. The only wording, that I thought could be changed was in line three - I felt that the word loses or will lose would read easier. It doesn't need to be changed, that is just my thoughts on the wording. Overall I really enjoyed it.

I like the way you used the parts of the body to describe the vow taking, . . .but I'm not sure whether this poem is happy or sad. While it is VERY thought-provoking, I can't quite define whether the thought is that marriage is a good or bad thing.
