Great job with your spiritual acrostic decima! I like how your first stanza focuses on the difficulties in life ("zapping your joy") and then you provide the solution of faith in your second stanza!

A faithful acrostic filled with hope and promise that we can overcome the hurt and trust in our faith. I enjoyed the sentiments and this is a good entry for the club, love Dolly x

This is a great acrostic, with excellent imagery, visuals and artistic presentation. Acrostics are hard to do without them sounding forced, and yours flows naturally.

The only words I had trouble with are "pay dirt". I wonder (maybe it's just me) if perhaps replacement words can be found.

Great job on the club challenge.

Very well done on this acrostic - Seize Faith. Your words are so true, no matter what we face in life, if we put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, He will give us the strength that we need to rise above every difficulty and obstacle.

That was very nice.
a great message at the end
"no one ... will He desert!"

I hope you do well in the contest. It's impressive and Acrostic and 8 syllable count.

Thanks for sharing

    Hi Gee, thanks for the kudos. This a just a writing prompt for the Potlatch poetry club, not a contest entry. We had to select two 5 letter words to develop the Acrotic in an eight-syllable format using AABAB AABBA rhyme.

This is very melodic and hypnotic journey through sleze faith... not to sound unlearned; but, what is sleze... great job and I'd say perfectly done. yours, di

    you are very welcome... I actually thought it might be a thing... even googled... the only thing that came up was a grunge band from the 80's... the eventually became Alice in Chains.

I like this very much, it's well written and interesting to read. I'm not sure who Abba is but I assume it's a diety of some kind. Thanks for sharing this interesting piece. :)

Well written acrostic poem. Each line makes a statement, flows well into the next line. Your title "Seize Faith" is well represented in your poem. Thanks for sharing.

The picture is so perfect for the poem. The words flow calmly and speak to our hearts to seize the faith. Yes, we can trust His promise that He will never desert us. Thanks for sharing, Kit.
