Beautiful! You told it well. Sometimes we have to experience a little bit of trouble in order to make us decide to walk closer to God.

This is well written. I like the spiritual message and the tone of the poem is great.You have picked a very symbolic illustration to match your words. Great job!

Thanks for the kind review. I enjoyed creating this format and may later run another contest for the format, but as a blind entry contest.

Thanks Mary for the review. if I were to win it will have to be because people like mine better than the others. I am going to have a terrible time trying to decide which I will vote for.

reply by Jackarrie on 22-Apr-2015

yes, you are right, people have their favorite types of words that excite them to vote, and it is very difficult to pick one.

Well done for this acrostic. You establish a smooth flow from one line to the next. Great imagery with the nail-pierced hands that bid you to come. In line 3, I think you want to eliminate "the." Just "the end of my walk." Artwork fits in so beautifully. judi

Thanks Judi for the nice review. I am not sure why you are saying to eliminate the word the in the third line. Could you explain?

reply by judiverse on 17-Apr-2015

You're welcome. I couldn't understand why you wouldn't just say "when I got to the end of my walk." See how you're connecting it with the fourth line. judi

reply by the author on 17-Apr-2015

Thanks for the explanation I now see what you mean. Our minds are funny, we know what we are wanting to say, go back and read it like what we wanted and miss seeing the other word. It is like the word mistake. Our minds will tread the word as mistake.

reply by judiverse on 17-Apr-2015

You're welcome. Glad that now makes sense to you. When I write something for our retirement village newsletter, I always see some kind of error I didn't catch. judi

Another variation on your creation of the Word Acrostic format as you blended it into your last line too. A lovely spiritual thought. Well crafted. Well said.

Just love the way you created a word acrostic as a form of poetry. I'll have to try one sometime soon. I have to catch up on my posting and reviewing first. Presentation is beautiful from artwork to color scheme to word acrostic itself. Clever use of words. Good luck in the contest and keep 'em coming. God Bless, Deb

Thanks for the pleasure of another fine poem that makes the sound of that beautiful song play in my head, "Just a Closer Walk with Thee." Great job. :-)
