Below Stairs Comments

That loving angels constantly descend To join me in my cramped and dusty state, And light the stairs that lead to journey's end. What a beautiful expression!

this poem was so beautiful

you have done a very good poem...it`s fantastic...

That Was A Very Well Written Poem Mary! ! A True Enigma :)

Marvelous composition here my friend...10+++

Impressively written... fantastic form.

Another wonderful piece of writing that I find really touching. I think a person of creativity knows instinctively that there is something 'up there/out there' somewhere but we don't quite know what or where it is. You have encapsulated the feeling we all share. Brilliant!

you seem to have afixed as formula of writing, one that determines many things and clues in your writings. I love it!

hey this so touching.....nice

A wonderful composition. Love it.

Mary this is one of the most appealing faith-poems I have read. You have perfectly rendered the sonnet into declaration of much spiritual value. Fond wishes Fay.

Another stunner, Mary - you combine deep thought & spirituality with total mastery of the rhyme scheme, within which nothing appears forced. This is quality. Thank you.

I usually shy from rhyming poetry unless the rhyme is more of a background than the subject. You've done that wonderfully here, where the rhyme adds the right amount of 'music' to the images and rounds them out very nicely. Nicely done!

Tumultuous spiritual vision so nicely delivered. -Tailor B.

I agree with Denis and marvel at the skill with which you communicate your ideas and images so accessibly in such a rigid and underused format as a sonnet. You inspired me, Mary. Thank you. Alison xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am very impressed with your style Mary. These sonnets have a feel of traditional about them but there is a real newness in them as well. I think the traditional comes through with the skill applied to them.
