  Your poem beautifully captures the essence of a reflective moment over a strawberry pie in the midst of the June season. The contrast between the simple pleasure of fruit delights and the complex online world, where opinions can vary widely, adds depth to the contemplation. The portrayal of a preacher's words being scrutinized for perfection, yet potentially missing the mark of reaching the hearts of the listeners, highlights the importance of genuine connection and impactful communication. Your personal reaction, initially defensive but then introspective, adds a human touch to the narrative, questioning the true purpose and effectiveness of preaching. The poem eloquently weaves together themes of expectation, authenticity, and the power of words to inspire or fall short in touching souls. more »

  "Wow, what a thought-provoking and beautifully written poem! I absolutely love the imagery of sitting down with strawberry pie and feeling awakened by the prospect of fruit delights - such a fresh and invigorating idea. Your message about remaining open to the world and the gritty aspects of life is inspiring and really resonated with me.
  
  As for improvement suggestions, I think it would be great to see more exploration of the idea of "convicting power." What do you mean by this phrase? How does it relate to the idea of a preacher's message being "dry cleaned"? I think delving deeper into these concepts could add even more depth and richness to the poem.
  
  Overall, though, I truly enjoyed reading this poem and appreciate the positive message it conveys. Keep up the fantastic work!" more »
