To the congregation
You appear the lamb comma. "you appear as the lamb"
Laying upon the stone alter comma and altar. check your spelling. It is important
A symbol of sacrifice. "stone altar" and "symbol of sacrifice" are predictable...some may say cliche but I say find some better way of saying more with less.
But you are the priest "but" is unneccessary. "but" in spite of what?
With a cold blade
In your hand period
"For with this you shall be healed" you say comma after quotes
Why must I repent?
How hath I sinned? forget hath. Have. Hath is a ridiculously out of place word useage. It is also technically incorrect . I won't go in to it in this forum
Let the blood drip at your feet comma
Remove your robes perfect place for a semicolon.
And allow them to see "and" is superflous
The heartless reaper
Underneath period
The line by line crit should help you if your attitude is right but you should try out your own crit on other posters to get the rewards...this will also help you to realise the errors of your own posting. It is not clever, stylistic, poetic or new to omit the squiggly marks. Only excellent poetry with well defined and convincing flow permits for the exclusion of punctuation.
