nicely written cinquain, great write

Hi lordoftherings. A well crafted cinquain. Good flow. Lovely expression of feeling. Your faith shines out in this piece. Thank you for your entry. Shelley

This fits the contest criterion as it answers my two questions 'Who do you think God is' the picture shows that and 'why do you believe' would be the revelations I think.
It's in the list of possibilities.

After a Sunday of being filled to the brim with the Holy Spirit all day, seeing my young heroin addict friend get baptised, a week of visions and marvels and the love of God exploding within me and because I've prayed deeply for you in the past this is the icing on the cake of my Sunday!!!
The cherries in the pie, the rings round Saturn and the raising of the dead... Go fly around the universe...

amazing job, very moving. The picture goes well with the poem also. Obviously written from the heart and not theory. Great job and good luck.
-

OMG, Gregg, this is soooooooooo touching, so very touching.......I am glad to see you back hugs!

good
I really like this poem. Its simple, clear, and deep. Good job! -
this is very pretty.
Its religious without making me gag
and its spiritual without being lame or cliche.
And the picture suits it perfectly.
-
faith! we all need it even though all may not desire it. very powerful write in so few words. good luck in the contest, DARK.
-
soul up-lifting
Few words reveal a world of things especially of the spirit, in a special style!Faith and Hope help us earthlings trudge our 'Road to Heaven on Earth'!An inspirational write doubtlessly that is quite soul up-lifting and divine that is reinforced aptly by a befitting art in the background! Excellent write that's soul-wise! -
wow..so much said in so little wording. Well done.
-
This has a very spiritual feel to it, as if you have found your faith again or something. A very good piece, must try this style aswell some day.
Thanks for entering and good luck
-

Very simple and yet powerful and thought provoking. Plus it stirred some great conversation.

take care

Sometimes faith is the only thing that keeps us going. Day in and day out. I know at least for me; if I didn't have faith I would fall into a depth of dispair so deep I would never see the light of day. I really needed to read a poem like this today. Thank you Greg.
Hugs,

There is so much said in so few words, well done on a wonderful write.
-
Awesome!
Beautifully Worded!
Saying alot without saying alot, and I think that I can use all the hope I can get as of late, my faith seems like it's running thin within my friend, but I pray yours pours forevermore...
It's always nice reading you, thank you for sharing you, and this world just kicks my butt, and I don't know how you do it, I know you struggle alot with what life deals ya, and I admire you you try, and try... Thanks for your inspiration here my friend, and let it never end....
Much appreciated you are, always!

wow....very well written,, thanx for sharing this!
looking forward to more in the future
this shows great talent

What if we never had any faith? What happen we are just one of those constant mortals that toll in and day out not believing in anything at all because they are afraid to trust or to care about anything?
Another beautiful write. -
This is beautiful, and makes me happy for you
-
I'm very much in agreement with that, Liz ..it's the human condition ...we can't help but have faith ..even ..even if we do lose it sometimes.
-
not sure that we ever truly stop believing
we let our faith get lost sometimes
when living (and trying to live) gets in the way
amazing how quickly the feelings return
once we allow them to
beatiful piece gregg
bravo

This is very lovely. It feels so uplifting, and I hope I feel like this one day. Beautiful poem.

take care

Well done
Cross me - bless me. The idiom is "seeing is believing", but you have it right, that believing is necessary for seeing. This is thought provoking. -
Wowwww... This one made me think ..the picture is perfect too.
-
That believing process takes a while sometimes. It's amazing how easily we can lose our faith ..all it take is feeling alone when we are afraid ..and we have a tendency to believe there is nothing out there to protect us.
I don't know if finding faith is really something recently coming back to you..but if so, I'm glad to read you're finding it. I don't care what label people give to their faith ..we all need it ..whether it is Christianity, Buddhism, Wiccan ..etc... we all have to have something to believe in ..so when times get hard, we know we aren't alone. -
good write and good luck this was an awsome write so short but really well thought and really good i liked this alot i hope that you do well and i thought this had alot of meaning about this poem good job on this write! and really i like ur writes I will probably reading more in a few!
-
Lovely
I love your background. You have done a fantastic job making the cinquain form work with it. Your poem is uplifting and inspiring. Amazing how much can be said in so few words. Excellent write.
God bless,

Nice Job
I like the thoughts this poem convays without saying much, "Have you crossed Him lately and why" is what it brings to my head. Nice job. Here's a smiley
-
It is a challenge to pick out these contests and write something in an hour to a specific form...usually I shy away because I don't want to make a fool of myself, but lately I have become brazen and have said 'Go for it Gregg...you can do it, even if it is crappy, at least you are trying...', and form poetry and I have never gotten along before because I was very uneducated, now that I am enrolled in my Masters, I am having more confidence with these, although it is hard to get a subject or theme -- practice will come in handy here -- (a very good one, as you know from my library) to pull off a good winner.

lordoftherings very nice work, a strong piece. good luck! rock on...aimee jo

I like this. The idea of believing once again is a welcome thought, and makes me want that. The form appears to be correct. Thanks for entering and contributing to my cinquain addiction
