This is a most beautiful poem, reading every word with wonder
and satisfaction. It seems like a combination of two stories, one from
Heaven and one from Earth.

What a creative approach. Your poem offers the reader a bit of whimsical fantasy in an interesting format. The rhyme and rhythm is enhanced by a touch of humor. Loved the following line. I'm sure it gave the God Squad quite a fright. Good luck in the contest.

This format always seems to turn out humorous for some reason.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I read this. So tender and loving about an angel missing from Heaven. This poem is so creative and spiritual. It is a pleasure to read how someone will take care of this precious angel. liberty justice

You are the real artist and poet. We are just the scum left over.
You are sticking to the angel story throughout, nice consistency.
I don't know where you get all your ideas from. I wish I could do that.
very well rhymed too.

Thanks, Jan.
The ideas just fly down and into my head, much like the angel. Once I get the first words on paper, imagination takes over.

Hi Steve,
I don't review much of your work as I don't really have anything to add, not being a poet, but I do read most of them. this was superb though. I struggle with the various forms although this one was very appealing.
Great sentiments expressed throughout and the hint of humour was great too.
Nice work

Thanks, G-Man.
For some reason this form invites humour. I have written a few of these now and all have a kind of wry or sarcastic tone.

Comment from Robert Louis Fox
Excellent use of thematic patterning. The repeating of lines from the first stanza fit unforced into the succeeding stanzas. Your poem is rich with images and metaphors and an extended metaphor. Keep up the good work! Best regards, BobFox

Bob, thank you for your kind words. Those repeating lines as well as the sheer number of similar rhymes required are what makes this form tricky. I am glad you felt they fitted in so well.
