very true!


writing this as a concrete poem was very smart,
because you address a topic worth thousands of paragraphs with just a few words

All of your poems remind me of clues in the cryptic crossword. Very intresting and almost impossible to disect.
But the word 'sources' annoys me.

I agree wholeheartedly. Short, succint, and powerful. Well done.

you put it in a cross! how brilliant and how TRUE.

for some reason, my first instinct was to laugh. it just sounds kind of unreal? interesting choice of words.

hmm..I would have liked to see one more long line to balance out the cross, however! What a very striking point, and I love that you use the symbolism of a cross with that point.

So true...perhaps because people tihnk they were worth shedding for? Makes me think of the Crusades and the Bible...

so very, very true. you have to love irony, don't you?

Loved the form and simple, direct thought! Made me think of sacrifices-then and now.

The great thing about this poem is it's shortness. It's so blunt that it forces the reader into considering its true meaning. Personally, I don't think you had any overriding meaning, it looks clever enough to serve a purpose as making the reader contemplate.

That's an accomplishment in itself.

this makes me laugh in a horrible way


i think you are one of the only people
who leaves as random of reviews
as i.

great poem. great arrangement of lines into cross! clever.

I like the look of the poem. Clever

Shame that it's true. One of my major issues with religion in general.

Unfortunately this is true. Impressive poem, and the cross shape makes it even more effective, though it can apply to all religions if they are misunderstood and misinterpreted by those who turn their message into blood and terror.
