Replying to a comment on:

Bleed ,Rip and Tear (Sonnet) by NoSage

In senseless agony We let small wounds bind Our hearts and our minds. Don't just struggle with the bonds Bleed, rip and tear At the fabric that you wear, Don't cloak yourself with ignorance... EXPAND. What Is mediocre? An excuse to your friends? Would it stand up in the end? Really, Would God just say; "Well Jason, You were quite lukewarm in your faith today, But I will grant you entrance anyway".

I don't think that's what they mean by "Show don't tell," not that I have ever condoned that most overused of comment templates. I've always thought it basically meant "use imagery." You can write a poeme that both SHOWS and PREACHES. I imagine it would look something like a parable with line breaks :(
