what does the Poet's Notes mean? is the poem written by you or by a Professor? i want to use this poem in my/our June 2017 showcase, but i want to be sure of the author's name as i use the author's name in the showcase. Thanks. bri :) ========================= note: in these lines: Thou knowst our deep folds and layers Unto Thee I send my prayers..............the spelling of knowst is questioned. from Wiktionary: knowest Contents 1 English 1.1 Alternative forms 1.2 Etymology 1.3 Verb 1.4 Quotations English Alternative forms know'st (obsolete) Etymology know +‎ -est Verb knowest (archaic) second-person singular simple present form of know Quotations For usage examples of this term, see Citations: knowest. so know'st is obsolete - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - favorite lines: Leave us not our Gracious God Save us from all evils odd........................how about the evils even? ? i assume the TWO es in Ameen is to emphasize/lengthen the word. i wonder if AmeN or Amenn would seem 'better' to me. i'll use the poem as it is if you answer me about the poet's notes. i may use it anyway if i don't hear from you in a week or less. Thanks. bri :)

Oh Bri, thank you so much for your detailed comment...This is my poem for sure, My respected professor gave me a prompt for this actually... Ameen with double 'e' is actually the pronunciation in Arabic...so you can use it as single 'e'... and evils are always odd and never even... :) thank you so much again, Bri :)

And less you become like a child, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. I certainly am not God, but Shahzia, it seems to me your heart is already in the right place.

Thank you for all of your lovely comments on my poems. I too have enjoyed yours. I truly enjoyed - A Child’s Supplication! The flow is so exact and pleasurable even musical. May I make a suggestion? There is only one ‘e’ in amen. The third stanza could read - Pour upon us heavenly light – Only to keep the meter flowing. I liked the way you used a capital letter for the word Knower. As you see the teacher in me can’t be hidden. Adeline

Beautiful prayer-poem like. The stanzas follow each other so smoothly. A child's prayer is always heard, for their heart is always unalloyed. Thank you for sharing. Best regards, ~Besa
