The construction of this poem is fascinating

and arresting. A thought-provoking read.

Recommended in today's new poems reviews in the poetry feedback and discussion forum. Thanks for the read.

terrific

I really like this poem-- was distracted by the (Thou) at the end of each line, but I know why it is necessary. Perhaps you might consider skipping lines and only going through the commandment once. Just a thought. I am really enjoying your poetry.

Of human stuggle

very original as form and content merge in mimicking the 'noise' in one's tortured mind. Great work!

I had to read

this several times. Once reading the parenthetical prayer in line. Once leaving it out (but with it in mind, bothersome... like the man... nicely done, bijou!). Once reading it without thinking, letting the words just run across my eyes. I love what you do with words.
