Dear Dovina,
I do not intend to share my Christian faith, just the person who I am. You may not find my poems digestable, but that's acceptable. You have your own identity and that's fine by me. As for me and my poetry, you're gonna get this style whether you like it or not. May be if you pray real hard you might find a turn for the better......

Thanks zodiac......... Sorry for the defence (it seems to look that way). As for me, I'm game to criticism, whether its poetry or real life. i'm a sport, so feel free to comment. No offence!
As for the poetic licence and the stuff, i was merely thinking aloud, not that my poem fitted into it, or that it was in the passive tense and so on. i was merely trying to figure out what my poem was or where it fits in. It was written a long time ago, in just one night, rather within half an hour, that i never bothered to edit it in any way out of sheer happiness at having written it. Now that i've got onto poemranker, i've decided to have a go at writing once again. I value your reviews and know that there would definitely be a lot of improvement in my work.
Happy Reviewing!......... amanda

zodiac, thank you very much for your review and insight into my poem, though i might add thats its a wonder anyone could take enough time to read it and comment on it, specifically. It's really an honour. Thank you.
If i might ask, isn't there such a thing as poetic license, or writing in the passive tense and things like that. I feel and have always felt, that every poet has his own style of phrasing his words within which he fits in best. I'm not saying that i disagree with you on your views regarding my poems, but strongly feel that maybe i'm merely trying to fit in with my poetic style, this being the style which flows freely at the moment. Nevertheless, I am going to take the time to ponder on your review, and perhaps you might find some "improvement", in my style of presentation. See you around.

St Francis Xavier is exposed there, in his coffin.... at the Bom Jesus Church at Old Goa. We took a couple of snaps out there 4 days ago, though the lighting was poor....the whole area supposed to be plated with gold.

My style and choice of topics is typical of me. Reading the bible has always fascinated me, and always makes me wonder what it was like then, or how would it have been had i been there then. i'm a dreamer and thats what gets me going. Enjoy diving into my dreams........You might find some inspiration in there.

Sliver, that's a nice view, similar to what i'm on at the moment.
I'm asking Abraham what made him take Isaac up to be sacrificed.I know he was human, so just saying that he was a man of faith entirely doesn't convince me enought( though it does a bit), surely he was human enough to perhaps doubt for a split second, maybe.

Alchemy, to be frank, i don't know what is characteristic of a lyric, or limmerick, or ballad, or haiku/haiki (or whatever it is called). I write as i feel and don't bother about the type, though i guess it would be nice to know what is what.

I think you will find it interesting to note that (Ref: 5 loaves & 2 fish), metaphorically speaking, they experienced a deep thirst in their hearts and were at a point where they would do anything to quench their thirsting spirits ( desert phase), that they were willing to even think about trimming their ways. No doubt there is no ref. to desert, but doesn't your heart too feel the dryness and yearning for life, to rebloom with freshness and vitality sometime or the other..... whether you wish to admit it or not.
Note that Jesus came and refreshed not only their spirits, but in the bargain He also satisfied their bodily need for food.
So take delight in Him and He will give you all your hearts desires.
Need I say more, brother?
Thanks for your input. Makes me rethink my own words....
