Ooooh! Good one!! Perfect syllable count, I love the picture, and the message rings true for OH-so many people we all know. Wonderful job with this, and good luck with the contest.

You paint a stark picture of an angel trying to protect someone then getting burned at the 12:00 call, when that person perhaps does something naughty. Enjoyed reading it. I like the change of view that occurs in the last line.

HELLO POET: I like your posting here in that it is brief, clear, and to the point. With only three lines and fourteen words you express a complete angelic story. This is good. I have imagined that our angel here turns into a phoenix. I suppose that it's because I dream up excuses for beautiful women who do, "HOT STUFF," to themselves. With any luck, they will then come to me...and light my fire. (smile) Thank you for sharing. God bless. Cordially: rhonnie69.

Hi Mystery Author,

LOL - good one!

Very nicely done. Great image you've selected to complement your well-written verse.

Nothing here that I can see to suggest improving upon. It's great "as-is."

Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest,

Jan

Well. I just love this.
Could be most of us, ha ha.
We try, but...I think we all have a bit of hell in us even so.
Excellent entry!
Blessings...

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem. While everything goes well it is good to be a Christian for many but when there is darkness many prefer the deceit of pleasure.

This work has reached the exceptional level

First of all.... Loved the title of this piece. Even without art this title grabs you. The art on this is powerful and almost tells a story by itself. It sells the poem well. Your 5-7-5 is haunting. Your syllables easily glide within each other to tell this story. Can't tell if she's conflicted or a master of disguise. Yes, you made me think here. Which is the point, eh?

Very well done. Good luck in your contest.

This is very different. What I take away is that she is a fallen angel after midnight. A very stunning artwork that fits well with the verse. You have done well with the short form you had to work with. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

Hmmmm, this could certainly mean a lot of different things. my first thought was that this woman lives a double life church lady in the daytime and Bar Hopper at night...then another idea occurred maybe she just gets more fired up in her beliefs at night and gets more productive things done... Very interesting

    Thank you for the fantastic review, seaglass. Your first thought was right, she's not quite the angel once nighttime comes. I really appreciate the generous stars. I'm glad you liked the piece.
