I love it, you are very gifted in your writing, I am not a poet, just write to share the love of God, I have never any heard of all the different poem styles you write in

Every burden, every hurdle and every problem will appear light with a positive perspective. Look upto Him, and He will grant. If you have it already, there is every reason to be thankful. Beautiful Anaya !

...Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4. Thank you, Valsa, you are always delightful, and I too love the gospel.

...Like sparkling water. An act of seeing the good side of every perceived negative situation and making a choice to derive joy from them is a step closer to peace! Thank you, Robert

Thank you, Anaya, for introducing me to the Crystalline poetry form. I like the positivity that it exudes. I must try it!

Sure, it's 9 syllables first line, 8 syllables 2nd line, but vice versa is fine inside a complete couplet! Have fun Mark

I'm smiling. Just a note; I mentioned a thought John Watt wrote. I posted it as a quote because I really think it is amazing and was in the same vein.
