Charles Reese Poet Pantoum

Breathless

When I explore beyond the sky
I wonder how it came to be 
With the Creator who lives on high 
It takes away my breath you see 

I wonder how it came to be 
The beauty is beyond compare 
It takes away my breath you see 
To think His Son He would not spare

The beauty is beyond compare 
As I watch all the seasons change 
To think His Son He would not spare 
He took our sins in the exchange 

As I watch each of the seasons change 
I ponder how He gave me life anew
He took our sins in the exchange 
Eternal life I now have that's true 

I ponder how He gave me life anew
With the Creator who lives on high 
Eternal life I now have that's true 
When I explore beyond the sky 

For the Breathless poetry contest

Andrea Dietrich June 15, 2026 at 4:58 PM You are so good with this form. Read what Constance says to you. Put the contest info in the separate box for notes. And try to make up a quote or use any quote right above your poem. She likes that a lot. Charles Reese June 15, 2026 at 7:14 PM I will do as Constance ask I thought I was following the rules but I was wrong I may try to add a quote then

Constance La France June 11, 2026 at 2:15 PM Charles, you wrote a wonderful poem for my contest but you put the contest details on the bottom and that is a no no, a rule by PS regarding contest poems. I had noted in my contest description not to do this, it should be put at the top of your poem or in Poet's Notes. BTY, I tried to send you a soupmail but you have not signed up for it so I could not get you to change it before the contest finished. It is the same thing for your Ponder poem, details on the bottom.
