i think you may have succeeded well.......attempting to present a different point of view.... i mean. i really like this. i've heard of potter's field, but i'm in too much of a hurry (or too lazy) to look it up now. to MyPoemList for sure. bri ;) how about a different view of Pontius Pilate (or was it Pirate?) , Goliath, and Noah? ? some day i may type and submit 'a conversation between Jesus and His Father' i wrote some time back. bri ;)
Thanks, Bri. Actually, I have written a short poem from the view point of Pilate. It is one of some 60 poems I have written using biblical characters and stories. I have one on Goliath too! Ha! Your idea about a conversation between Jesus and his father is intriguing. If you decide not to do it, I may steal that idea. :)
very fascinating, very dramatic, too ... i like the point that men is helpless if we believe total control upon us of fate and destiny.. like it.....9
I enjoyed this and it is Interesting Charles, I too have tried to put some of the bible into reason. One I have written is about Adams family.... Really interesting~! Another subject I like is historical mysteries, feeling that school kids would better remember historical events and even question what they are reading in the bible if they saw it in prose.
Thank you, Marion. I have written many poems relating to bible characters. I am not a religious person, but I find the stories interesting and wonder what some of them were thinking. My imagination has lead to many poems of this type. I hope to gather them into a manuscript some day soon and try to find a publisher.
