What a clever use of consonance in this poem! This poem could be a movie, from 9 short lines. Well down with the form, and good luck with the contest.

How masterfully you kept to the 3-6-9 poem format but also managed to start every significant word with f, EXCEPT God and Jesus. They both radiate through all those fs, as well they should. And in your foto, the Fullers are following footsteps forward. Fine fanstory feature.

Your inventive poem is 'effing' good. I hope the new fascination is a fulfilling fixation for the Fullers. (It should give them a fuller life than what they had before.) Fearful freedom is an interesting juxtaposition.
I think it should be 'femme fatale'.

Clever, creative, and how revealing to point out that fear seems to be both an obstacle and a necessary accompaniment to big changes like the Fullers went through. We get told at church the ladies usually find faith first, but this was a reversal of expectations. I think I usually see 'femme fatale' more often. Nice job.

    Thanks, CC, for the spelling catch. I probably don?t use that description enough.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver three complete stanzas following a technically sound 3-6-9 syllable count in each. This is really clever the way you use them to tell a complete story in alliterative style. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.
