Pride comes before a fall as they say and being too proud can come across as arrogance, your words certainly describe pride here, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Comment from victor 66
An interesting poem about pride. I've always felt the need concerning whatever good I do, to keep it under the radar. My philosophy is that if you need to make your good deeds known, that is pride and not worth much. I don't worry about god because I don't worry about pride. Best wishes.

You did very well in describing the sin of pride in this poem. While I read, it definitely tugged at my own heart. This would be a great devotional read to kick one off their pedestal. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
You certainly found all the right words and composed a good poem. The thing about pride is you don't realize you are wrapped in it until you find it hard to escape. Good luck.

hi, so lovely piece of poetry. Rich vocabulary and good English command. Good rhyming too but I feel your work need some on clearly laid out stanzas. Easy to follow poetry and well laid out stanzas. Your image is excellent. All the best. Pride indeed is deadly and corrupts the soul

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Looking at your author notes, I can bet we ALL have suffered a time or two (or more) from 'pride'. I know I have, and I've learned to beat myself up whenever I catch myself being so.
This is a great contest entry. I love the artwork you chose ... the creature looks pretty prideful and arrogant :)
Best of all was the many detailed ways you described 'pride' and its consequences. You put much thought into the subject and poem, and it shows. Great job!

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
Pride is the opposite of humility, and invites destruction as victimizes spirituality and is a deadly sin, punishable by God; well said, well done. Write legible, to inspire, readable for years -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from Willie P. Smith
Excellent and well said. Too much pride can surely be a negative for someone, although one must have some pride. You just have to find that balance between some and too much. "Pride goeth before the fall."

Dear Willie, Thank you for your comments and review. I have read a book called The Seven Capital Sins. That gave me ideas and inspiration for this poem. Dove
