Inspirational Christian Poetry.
Reviewing poetry is far harder than any non-fiction material. Why? Each of us has our own rhythm and it is this internal harmony that either mixes or doesn’t with any piece of poetry/prose. Poetry is the one media that, in my opinion, is subject to one’s emotional being at the time of reading.
What does a poem have to have in order to reach me? I do not require rhyme. I do not even require a locked in rhythm. I can connect with clear-cut words as easily as I can with misty masked meanings.
How did I connect with “Shadows of Thought”? Mixed. At times Rev. Reed’s thoughts were too Christian for my comfort; at times his words struck a shared feeling; at times I saw Rev. Reed for the innocent child we have all been; at all times these words were the sharing of one being’s life to another.
“Shadows of Thought” is a gift of one person’s and his family’s thoughts. Feelings all families have known.
Rev. Reed has achieved what any poet should – words to make a person think, feel, react.
