The Magdalene

[Lizzie]

Sparky: I love the conceit of this. The content is engaging, and the idea of praising the more human versions of Mary is intriguing to pursue. My main quibble is with how many full stops there are in the middle stanzas -- the first two full stanzas and the last flow very well, but in between it's like stop and start traffic. From "the fruit of your womb" to "they have done this before" could be loosened up a little for the reader. That's my take on it, anyway. But, fully enjoyed the content. Thanks for posting.

P.S. Did you mean for the title to be "The Magdalene?"
