I like this one very much, Chaplain Mike.
Is there a name for what you’re doing here, or did it just come to you, form and all? Love it.
No, I didn’t intentionally set out to follow a form. I just wanted to capture this story’s simplicity. A couple of the lines kept coming to mind, particularly the parallel between “hearts broken” in the first part of the story and “bread broken” in the second part.
thank you for your kind words.
I’m gonna call it, ‘mike-ooh’ or ‘Miaku’
Nicely done, Chaplain Mike!
Amen chaplain Mike!
I really love the ‘hearts broken’ bit…

Well done!
Is that a poem or a sermon outline? It works pretty darned good as both!
