I have to work at it to get the words to work right and make sense. It takes practice. Thank you for commenting, Christuraj!

Congratulations on your win in Brain's contest. A difficult form, not easy to write something meaningful with such complex syllables count, but you make it seem so simple.

Liked the rhymed binding of "crippled whole" and "soul". Isn't it what Christ Jesus was all about? Respecting your faith journey, congratulations on your placement. There is no piety in celebrating a poem of faith.
