Review of Too Much To Ask  Open in new Window.
Rated: E | (4.0)
Access:  Public | Hide Review (?)
Much is said in this poem and I like it.

Great opening verse.

Suggestion 1: Clarify your intention is the 4th verse. I read it a couple of times and still wasn't sure if you were saying that Henry overrode the Pope's authority and decreed what is and isn't sin. Or if Henry, in outing Katherine, and choosing Anne, chose to live in sin.

Suggestion 2: In verse #5 you use the word many three times. Is that too many times, in one verse?
Consider:
Strife continued
For many a year
Religion's countless faces
Caused a multitude of fears

Suggestion 3: The very last line, "His mind he did turn," in my opinion, should read as an involuntary occurrence. Something like, His fait (or faith) he did burn.

Live and write passionately,
Cyndee
