The devil is always present although he try to hide, he always show his presence when you in a hurry he will hide your keys, or when you cook for a special guest he will turn the heat on high and burn the food.

So true, maybe that's why I can't cook. Ok, but maybe it is simply me. Thank you.

You can always put the blame on his head. Lol.

The art work is really great in everyway
I certainly wouldn't like to see the devils face
I would run a mile so quickly to get away.
I would have been glad if God called out
to me to get away from the devil.

This is a fantastic poem. It tells a story. I like that while Marissa can see the devil, this does not give him the power to control her. It only gives her the power to avoid him. I love the last line "God called her name louder". Beautifully worded. Wonderful job on this and best of luck in the contest!! I look forward to reading more of your work!

What a thought provoking prompt. It was fun to try to see what Marissa saw in the picture. For me, the message is that you attract whatever your thoughts dwell upon. Thank goodness, she finally paid attention to Heaven. Fantastic ending.

Another enchanting story, Judy. Your poem flows so well it is a real pleasure to read. We always have a choice on whose voice to listen too - and think we can always hear both

Knowing your enemy is half the battle. Defeating your enemy depends on how well you know his tactics.
Therefore, whomever it was who uttered the phrase, "Keep your friends close but your enemies even closer", knew exactly what they were talking about.

Great work with this...

This deserves ****** stars.
The poem focus Marissa getting away from lucifer.
The poem story line development: Marissa sensitive to lucifer sees him in a painting. he tries calling her to him he has tried before. The angel gets away as God calls to her louder.
This fits the requirements of using one of Angelhearts pictures and no more then 24 lines.
The rhythm is a slow progression with the last line having emphasis on each word.
The natural pauses gives the reader time to understand and visualize the scenes.
The emotion felt awed that she listens and is saved when so many shut their ears to Gods call, only hearing lucifer's voice.
Keep on writing.
