Truth or fiction?

Comment from Rena Smith
I like this poem because it's a spiritual poem about God and it's true. It's short and sweet. It's true we do not deserve anything like the poet alludes too; but God gives us blessings all the time. I like this poem because it talks about God.

Congratulations on your win of the 30 Word Spiritual Fiction contest. There were many rules and restrictions that made this a challenge, but you took it on. For me, your statements are truth, but to some, they may be fiction. I love the approach you took.

Thank you so much. I can't write "fiction" which might distort God's character or actions, so this was my way to solve the problem.

Your poem looks to be well on the way to a deserved win. You've waded your way through the interminable requirements and delivered something that makes sense and is an authentic reflection of your point of view. You raise a valid point about the basis of fact and fiction when speaking of God. It is confusing for many, but not to you (and me).

Yes! Exactly.

You met this limiting challenge well with using just the 30 words including the nine required ones. And you share a truth that God gives us love and peace and not necessarily what we wish for.
Hope you do well in the contest!

Thank you very much. I won't write any untrue fiction about God, so presented what to me is beautiful truth about His character, although others may perceive it as fiction.

Very well done on this poem, using specific words. So glad God hears our prayers and supplies all our needs. He knows best what is good for us and we can trust Him.

This poem fit the criteria for the contest, and I agree ,when simple prayers are answered one does find an inner peace that cannot be bought, no errors noted, good luck

Excellent poem thanking God for everything He gives. God has indeed been very generous - there is so much to be grateful for.
Great spiritual imagery, visuals and artistic presentation. Loved your artwork.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Rachel Jamerson1
Great job. I struggle with this being fiction - it is truth absolutely! I don't know how you would write anything about God, that would be fiction. Unless it was untrue. Great content.

You are absolutely right, so I have added a note to say that I can?t write fiction using these words about God which might deny or distort His character. So I will probably be disqualified! So be it. Thank you. I am happy that you enjoyed my work of thanks to Him.

This 30 Word Spiritual Fiction writing contest entry has followed most of the rules, I wish you a chance of winning the contest, but I find this spiritual poetry does not follow the contest main or key requirement that is to write a spiritual fiction in genre, but entry is written a spiritual poetry, though this is a good work of poetry with a clear thematic expression, but I cannot rate this more than three star for I think this needs a major edit work to make it a fiction from the poetry; well said, thank you for sharing this; post more.

Thank you for reviewing. In retrospect I cannot use these words to write fiction about God as I feel that this would deny or distort His character. So I won?t change it and accept the risk of being disqualified. When I entered it was placed in a poetry category also - which was not specified in the rules. So it?s not poetry either. Nor is the other entry I saw. So be it.
