Faith Eclipsed

For Creative Poetry

Eclipse-cast 

shadows

decimate the subservient.

Ravishing their belief

of the Sun God.

Impression of loss

on each 

upturned face

obscures once 

resonant voices

of joy.

Voracious fear

gnaws

at the 

faithful.

Voracious verse gnaws at the reader!. He, he, he. One hell of a poem. Man I really dig them in this form. KEep on going!

[J Todd Underhill]

Given the word bank I think that you used them very well. I am glad you read my piece and prompted me to come visit your works. I picked this one because of the title and was not diappointed indeed. It made me think on me and my walk in faith, and let us just say I am cautiously optimistic!

This is a side of your poetry that is new to me--I love this side of you Judy! There is a haunting quality to this piece--voracious fear--wonderful!

Indeed.
You clearly have few equals when it comes to erecting poetic monuments out of stray bricks.
Terrific job, Judy!
