Communion
Much of my poetry is inspired and informed by my faith as a Christian. Often an idea will come to me at church, during prayer time or while thinking about an issue or concept being discussed on the local AFR station. While I also write humor and other poems, these three are among my favorites. I hope you are blessed by and enjoy them.

It is always a "good thing" to find some one who can understand and relate to whatever we personally have gone through. /And thank you for sharing these soothing words/. VOTED

These are very beautiful, and as I read them I actually felt a calming effect (that's something after a long night shift too). It's a toss up for me, which is my favourite between Communion and Wonder . . .
. . . . made my mind up after re reading and I think it has to be Communion for the calming, soothing effect it had on me and then Wonder for the flow of it.
I say a resounding YES! Good Luck Traci

It is my opinion that decent Christian poetry (or most other religious poetry, come to that) is pretty rare. It tends to verge on the self-righteous, and righteousness loses all its power to charm when it gets self-righteous.
You offer a very welcome exception to that rule. "Communion" is moving and heartfelt, personal and effective.
The rhymed piece is marred by uneven metre and half-rhymes, but given that, it flows remarkably well, and I almost didn't notice it was rhymed at all... which is actually not a bad thing, all things considered. Still, I feel that one would have been improved by 'un-rhyming' it: making it free verse altogether, instead of somewhere betwixt and between, half formal and half free.
"Communion" the only one I find myself thinking is really ready for publication, but it's strong enough that you get one of my rare 'yes' votes.
...All of which may come across as 'blessing with faint praise', but there you have it. For what it's worth.

Traci - I especially enjoyed "Wonder", it reads flowingly and with musical touch to it, and the rhyming fits in well. I vote yes and good luck!

I can say with little surprise from anyone, least of all the author, that this is in no way in line with where I come from in my writing. That said, I can read these works and feel the love, faith and joy that TraciB feels through her connection with her faith and her God.
And that's what true poetry/literature is about: Creating work that stands sufficiently strong that those with an open mind, whether they share the same thoughts and beliefs as the author or not, can appreciate the talent of the writer and respect that they are creating from the heart.
A tip of my hat (that I don't wear) to you TraciB and good luck in getting these, at least one of these, published.
