Last Judgment
Dear David Re “Judgment” Sun, Oct 21, 2012 I just finished reading your poem, and I can’t believe it. It is one of your best, most powerful!
It is as energetic as Browning and reminds me of him--but with your own creative daring that would awe even him.
It is a shocking and moving tribute to art that includes, of course, religion and faith, and an intense awareness of human flesh, with its beauty and frailty.
This poem is breathtakingly intense. So many allusions, such chiseled language.
Thank you so much for letting me read it.

The basic pattern of double sections
Is counterpointed by 14 line singles [call
Them sonnets, what you will]
Which utilize the same
Increasing density
Toward
Finish,
Borrowing again
From the Bard. The major
Difference in both doubled and single
Sections is that end rhyme, mid rhyme, head rhyme
Are all used to render the effect of increasing density and force,
As sense involves a struggle while the pattern is completed.
A visual pattern, plastic in nature, adds interest.
