Bravo, this is a Fantabulous poem in which the metrical cadences dance in sweet harmony with the artistic rhymes. Two suggestions; a photo
would have contributed to its mood and imagery and, more important,
your red-lettered text on the gray background is very difficult to read,
especially by old goats like myself, Congrats on Fanstory's deserved
accolades. Blessings, john

This sounds like religious faith as it is used by a radical or terrorist. It also could be the thought of an atheist.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing

Well, there is not a lot I can say about this Acrostic, except Bravo. You have written a perfect piece, true to form, excellent ababab and ditto in second stanza. Well worded - good simple display and I wish you well in the contest. A good entry. Warm regards Dorothy

One should study different belief systems in their early adult life. I did for the first thirty years of my life and found one that I have stayed with for the rest of my life. I enjoyed the acrostic verse. Good luck in your contest.

Very well done. Good work on the acrostic. The message is clear and rational. I don't know if it really IS self-deceit. That implies that one knows better, has facts from the opp side and sufficient knowledge to understand them. Perhaps rationality is not what drives this person. Just a thought.

Random Belief is a skillfully written acrostic poem. The use of rhyme adds much to the cohesiveness and flow of the poem. All of the lines are appropriate to the topic. Good to see you writing again, my friend~Debbie

Hi Debbie and I am enjoying being back with the fold. I am finding new talent and missing some old friends. I am so glad you are still in the struggle and I am honored by this review my friend. Take care Debbie. tom
Comment from rama devi
Impacting acrostic, Intensely voiced. Good rhymes and flow. thought provoking substance.
Belief is born of self-deceit
Embellished by mythology
POTENT OPENING LINES!
Lost reason then will take retreat
Inciting new theology
Enwrapped in zealotry's conceit
Forged from false ideology
Great rhymes and word choices in the above, but the last line has forced scansion compared to the smooth flow of all other lines. not sure how to remedy it. The alliteration of F is excellent.
Warmly,
rd sis

Comment from Gloria ....
This is a brilliantly written acrostic. The iambic tetrameter punchy and delivers the message with the clarity it needs.
Very nicely done, Tom!

Bravo! This is a well written acrostic, and I find your description of belief quite enjoyable. It shows how belief can separate. Well said my friend.
