it's owk bt on dis particular piece I think it wud hv made a whole lot more sense if a end rhymes had a rhyming scheme at d end notes. that's my view though doesn't discredit d work in anyway.

Surdas and Milton wrote to create ripples Though their worldly visions had barricaded gates.- - - - Fate is that unknown force by which we all are controlled.But faith in the divine power will help us navigate the difficult circumstances.
Fate as cosmic forces believed to control earthly events is aptly captured in the poem. Beautiful piece of poetry elegantly brought forth with conviction. Awesome! Thanks for sharing Rajesh.
Fated we are to live and eventually die Beneath the bright blue orb called the sky As intelligent beings, animals or birds that fly And then five feet deep with worms very humbly lie…. Great poem of yours sir. I invite you to my page too for your critical comments......
Fate and effort both create and pave our way in our workings. Very well written poem. Congratulations for member poem selection.
At times, we are both puppets and passing eyewitnesses. We are stiff, immobile, and we simply let things happen. Very thoughtful poem!
Thank you my dear comrades of PoemHunter for reviewing the poem. Let me also express my gratitude to PoemHunter for choosing this poem viz. 'Divine Fate' as the poem of the day.
Nice thought provoking write. I think there's a combination of both at play. Nice imagery with the puppet strings.
At first glance I thought your poem was DIVINE FAT and I thought, maybe there's hope for me yet! Congratulations for having it selected as poem of the day!
Fate and effort are neither totally black or white, nor are they operating all by themselves. Life is more a mix of every thing. Very much thought provoking. Congrats for being the member's PoD. Thank you for sharing.
Yeah, sometimes it feels that we are being dragged by fate to a fixed destination. Very wonderfully penned. liked it.

This is a great sonnet, that ponders on one of the most delicate issue of life: Fate. Very well done.
We are more than puppets, for God allow us to make our own decisions, and we'll have to suffer the repercussion. Great poem and question.
Fate is something we have no control over but we can overcome if fate is not kind to us and rise above it! This is an outstanding write!
Yes, I absolutely agree with you that fate has a big role in our life! Your expression caries the truth: But have we not seen people/Navigate cheerfully unhindered by fate? /Surdas and Milton wrote to create ripples/Though their worldly visions had barricaded gates.....Thanks for sharing this precise piece of poetry with us....10
