| Paul Allen | Hello Lynda: I think your poem speaks to almost everyone at some point in their life. I found "debis, from past conflicts waged" to be particularly compelling. | USA | 8/29/2010 7:46:13 PM |

| Marcia Schechinger | Lynda an extremely talented verse. Using the storm as a metaphor for troubled times has a very relateable appeal to the audience, and the final stanza of the "outstretched hand" bringing hope to "still the waves". A beautiful spirital poem that inspires renewal of faith and hope that soon the waters will still for all who are going through turmoil. A well deserved win. :) | USA | 6/17/2010 12:08:44 PM |

| Dwayne Rankin | Lynda, I just have to come back every one in a while and re read this one of yours.. very, so very uplifting and encouraging in its structure.. I'd like to copy and put on my computer as a document if it would be ok with you.. if not, totally understandable.. might want to even print this one up where I can read it at times.. only if its ok with you.. if not I'll just have to keep on coming back and re reading it here every couple of months :-) | USA | 6/7/2010 11:02:34 PM |

| Westly Shaw | I like this because I believe that inside every person is a storm of one kind of another. We are all different, not more so, or less so, just different. This is what I seen and liked about this poem. Look forward to reading more of your poems. | USA | 2/16/2010 11:08:31 PM |

| Dwayne Rankin | Oh Lynda, your use of a storm to show the previaling troubles of live is very stirring. I especially like the last thoughts of the outstretched hand reaching out for "the one who stilled the waves". congratulations on eliciting the thoughts and emotions of the troubled person looked out to God for help. I love this poem | USA | 2/13/2010 10:08:35 AM |
