A very uplifting poem with the idea that we need to keep our eyes on the lord, so that we can remove ourselves from the evils of the world. We should remember that if we do turn our eyes away and stray from the path...that God Grant's forgiveness if asked.

I'll take this figuratively. Not the best advice when deciding to drive or cross the street. LOL
Good use of assonance with Christ and right.

Hi

This is a great little 5'7'5 poem. I am a little concerned as you have stated above that it is a 5'7'5 contest entry poem, yet down bellow i see that you have entered this into a Haiku poetry contest and it's not a Haiku poem but a Senryu poem.

I think you need to place a Haiku poem in here and re-post this in a 5'7'5 contest or senryu.

great job
regards
Tia

Hi Teri,
I respect the impact of the chosen words and explanation in the extended notes.
Wherever there is need and a prayer is offered God will be by our side.
Indeed always look to Him for love and guidance and above all have the faith to believe He will never fail you.
Blessings
Shirley

When I saw the title of this poem, I thought it was going to be about political fence-sitters ;-) An unusual topic for a haiku, which are most often nature related. In any case, the syllable count and format are spot on. Best of luck in the contest, Teri!

    Thank you Craig for the great review and comments. I think I probably lost this contest as it is not about nature. Oh well! Thank you my friend! Blessings, Teri

I would have said "Jesus Christ, He is my love," it comes across with a personal relationship, my love sounds familiar as man and women. I know you are restricted by word count. I wish you well in the Haiku contest my friend. XXK.

You're so right. This reminds me of that verse in Isaiah (I think) where it says we will hear a voice telling us which way to go and we should stray to the right or left.
