Your third poem is simply my favorite. Good luck with the voting!

I submitted my vote for you. I most enjoyed your last submission. The comparisons of the biblical references also gives the reader the ablilty to step back and view themself in much the same way- at least that is what I took from this.
Nice work.

I have to admit that I disliked both the repetition and rhyme in the first two poems.
That being said, the third was much more original and showed creativity and thoughtfulness.
Good luck!

The repeated lines in the first two poems works very well.
I got lost in the third but the emotion in it comes through loud and clear.

I like the combination of succinct pieces with your more elaborate poem. Your allusions are intriguing and fill "Mystic Connexion" with weighted meanings. Nice work.
This Feedback was...
I'm sorry, I still don't like "God IS", as I find it far too preachy for poetry, BUT, the other 2 pieces are very well written and deserve consideration in the final round. best wishes. L :)

You words are always potent.
A professional writer recently told me to either make my poems rhyme completely or not at all.
Not much imagery yet a whole lot of feeling.
Slow, light, and quiet
Cadence is good, short cutting simple yet powerful

like all three, LOVE the third one...agree with "dantesfire". the poetic journey you take us on is eye-opening. thank you for your beautiful and heartelt work. two thumbs-up!
This Feedback was...
The third being my favourite, though that is simply because you spoke longer than in the first two and I had longer to travel through your minds eye with 'Our Mystic Connexion is Wrecking Me' .
In 'God is' not only did I like this due to it's affirmation of his divine ability and presence, you actually introduced me to Sartre, I googled the word for an understanding of it's meaning, I spent quite some time educating myself on the entries I found, thank you for opening my eyes in a very intelligent display of words, thumbs up, and best of luck

I had some comments on your unrequited love poem but I keep forgetting to hit 'submit' when I go to view the next poem. This is frustrating. There should be an automatic save if you change to another piece.
This Feedback was...
Beautiful poem on the disenfranchised and disadvantaged minorities. I like the way the first letter of each line make a poem:
I.d. is I, I, I.
I B(e) I, I, I.
I.d. is I, I, I.
I B(e) I, I, I.

I've read your poems and voted. These show your talent for using language.
This Feedback was...
nice and contemplative on the old grey cells I vote thumbs up all round
This Feedback was...
although I am not particularly fond of religious tinted poetry - your images are beautiful - and you are right to invoke Blake - since your imagination is surely something sent by what most people would call god. I vote yes to your talent
This Feedback was...
A solid YES! In particular, "Our Mystic Connexion" is a perfect mirror into your poetic style. Filled with allusions to myth, legend, literature, it immortalizes a powerful love and devotion. It's as if this "connection" takes the speaker through ages of human intellect, collecting pieces from other's loves in trying to describe what this burning feeling is like. And reading it is not overwhelming, because you weave the ideas so well with one another. You speak like Blake, conjuring gods and demigods, bringing the mystical and the mundane together, and elixir of words that leaves the reader intoxicated and tainted with that powerful love.
"God Is" is short and effective, less complex than other work, but cohesive and compact. "God is the universe made explicit" is now in my mind, unforgetable.
Best luck in the contest, although you are already a winner.

God Is; the repeat of "vibration" takes the reader into a world of music that can be felt to the bones.
Ambinolent Existence; repeat of "shadow" makes the reader feels as if only your image is experiencing these events, not your body.
Our Mystic Connexion; Your words go very deep as if Shakespear was speaking in todays language. You analized the heros of the Bible and placed them into a new arena of thought.

I like your repetitive style, your last poem is the best! There are great images! I love how you use all types of spiritual images!
The other two are lacking in the images like your last one.

Your poems are indeed a cornucopia of questions asking the who, what and where's in a desperate attemp in relieving ourselves of the burdens we find in everyday life, some choose to find comfort in their religion, prehaps the answers resides there; poetry for the soul. thanks for sharing. my vote is yes.

I loved the intellectual composition of the third poem; it's form was beautiful, and obviously a great deal of thought; perhaps research, put into it and is well worthy of publishing. The second poem while, writtten very well, in my opinion (and respectfully don't get me wrong) is indulgent and woe is me - I personally am kind of tired of reading about that subject matter on here to be perfectly frank.
I understand racial issues throughout life, are a large part of who you might be, but I think apart from that kind of overdone sentiment in poetry, which I am not belittling by any means, you might concentrate on something more worthy of your skill; other aspects of your life something with a broader appeal. You obviously are capable.
Again, the first poem, while executed perfectly, and obviously very meaningful to you, and no doubt others, disappointed me in its subject matter, I felt as if I was in church - so it wasn't really for me.
But I think you are a very very talented writer in general, and I sincerely wish you every success.

General:
These are very religious poems of one in desperate search for understanding. Well written and well thoughtout.
Form:
Form is ballad with some free verse.
Content:
Content of these poems is as if the author is questioning the belief structure as if the religion has somehow left out important aspects. The mystery isn't solved but the search is continued.
Imagery:
Imagery is shown through sacred book characters and comparisons are made to the poets life. Also through great artist and writers the author give examples.
Tone:
Tone is somber and distressful and slow and quite.
Musicality:
I did not find them musical

Yes - I love your introspection and knowledge. 'God IS' must be my favourite.
This Feedback was...
Your work; your passion,( therefore; is it really labor?)..resonates so deeply within me, words not only fail for true expression, but almost any other sensory vehicle fades by comparison. Yes; as one bereft soul proclaims, it IS so expansive, so pure, so metaphysical, that mere mortal perception cannot begin to comprehend the magnitude of wisdom and abject sorrow that streams from the anointed spirit. It is not often I say say this with such utter, blissful candor; you, somewhere between all the prismatic hues of imagery, emotion, and memory, have moved....me. I could vote for your offerings forever...so; let it suffice to say, I believe the cosmos itself demands silence so the Hosts miss not one word....good...great....mindbending.Not for competition's sake; I know you know the demands of Higher Calling...but to justify what we are driven to reveal, please go read my (HIS) revelations. I think you, of all authors may find reflection...yes, I talk this way all the time...lol. MYSTERIANNE'..(disguised as a grandmother in Texas)

Your use of words is rare and often baffling. It's like reading a thesaurus dedicated to biblical and mythological references. Frankly, for me, it is almost unintelligible. It is so private I feel like an intruder. Esoteric poetry, e.g. T.S.Eliot, is very fascinating, but this poem appears to be written for you and, perhaps, on other.
Form:
Good for. I'm not a poet, so I don't know what is good form or bad form.
Imagery:
Again, the imagery is so esoteric that it is, for me at least, almost impossible to experience. I feel I need a thesaurus in one hand and your poem in the other.

The depth of your poetry alone deserves to be shared with the world. You possess a unique perspective of human emotions. Good luck!
This Feedback was...
This type of intellectual poetry appeals to a limited audience and is not normally popular with the masses.
For this reason alone I believe you may have difficulty being published except in specialist lierary magazines etc
From my perception the aims of the webook fraternity are likely to be influenced by the appeal of the poetry to a mass audience.
If I were a publisher I would be looking to include work that a mass audience would be tempted to purchase and read.
This is very well written but too long to keep my attention and is not really for me. I found myself quickly getting bored by the endless name dropping and references to Biblical and Historical characters.
In that context I can only vote a tentative maybe regarding its appeal to a publisher as I don't see the masses flocking to read this - excellent though it may be.
Kind Regards John
