    I have to say, I really love this form, and it's a fun one to write, the hard part is getting it to flow...and the author did just that and more.

    The message is so rounded spiritually that it can touch us all, no matter what path of spirituality you follow and that is another reason why this poem touched me so...

    The title is beautiful... "Believing in greater" It's powerful and is such a perfect title for this formed poem. Usually I break down poems stanza by stanza or line by line, but to be honest this poem as a whole says so much all together...

    Believe and rejoicing in the beauty of a higher power... I really needed to highlight this piece, because the message is inspirational, the writing is elegant and the form is spot on-
    Well Done Chelsey

    A perfect syllable count and a deep message using this restrictive form of poetry. Beautiful and indeed worthy of the front page.

    A slightly different rewording (gramatically) of your thoughts presented here (hopefully with similar meaning and correct syllable count):

    Faith
    can move
    big mountains
    split deepest seas
    and bring forth light to a whole world

    Confirms my belief in all living things
    in all who starve
    and believe
    greater
    truths

    A very thoughtfully worded verse, and hopefully a winner in many a hearts.
