Perfect~Rictameter

by Poet on the Piano   Feb 5, 2009


Faultless,
Made not to sin,
But to dissipate love,
Through even rage of countless wars,
May His word flow freely like calm waters.
A fervent passion of true care,
Inflicted upon all,
A God so great,
Faultless.

    I think you did a good job following the structure of a rictameter , and you show your appreciation for god really well . I can't really critique you for it since you followed the structure .. So I guess I'll have to leave it at good job .
