You've never just gone and had your head chopped off have you, speaker? Resounding imagery. Rich wording. Masterly metre. And Lind, thanks for all your comments on my writing today. Warm regards and a score of 10 from Gina.
Wow. Linda, this is amazing. It's so incredibly powerful, I feel like I can hear cymbals crashing as I read it! Most poets writing on this sort of theme would celebrate 'God's gracious milky moon' or 'The fiery chariot in the sky' or some such nonsense - thankyou for refusing to say in the middle of the road.10 from me.

Linda, This is a superb poem. The images classical (almost Elizabethan) but the themes universal and the images powerful and extremely well-wrought. The use of rhyme and meter is impeccable. Wonderfully written. Shalom, Hugh
This is awesome... Linda your poetry is s alive!
