Hey Jim, I'm not smart enough to begin to do what you have done within the confines of your poetic requirements. What I do know is that you have done a masterful job. Speaking to us about a subject we are all familiar with and one that, hopefully, we struggle with. If we don't struggle we just give in. You have reminded us that there are rough times in the past, But there is hope for the future. Life has its difficult challenges but we can say no. The wise man does! Thanks for sharing. Embrace the love from above.

The well documented allure of the sirens of the sea would be so strong and inducement, that there is no way I would ever take to the sea without adequate female companionship. A lonely man is a prime candidate for seduction.

Good presentation. I like your theme about keeping your dignity and restraining temptation. This world is so full of treats. Look good, taste good but make you sick and unhealthy. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
The visual form of this poem is stunning. It drew me in at the beginning, and kept me there, standing firm (I read), as the words of the poem washed around my legs. The whole thing was quite an experience for me. Thank you.

Comment from Goodadvicechan
Memories are unavoidable. I like what your poem says: " Lingering memories, while I collect moments of near
pleasant times once held." The key word are pleasant times. Please keep the pleasant ones and let the unpleasant ones be the past.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Kit Nongkhlaw
Amazing poem. I liked your style and the way you form the words,
Stand
firm with
my reserve!
I must protect
my vested caution while temptation calls.

Comment from Lighthouse Keeper
Beautifully done and in a wonderfully unique (to me) structure. I can feel the pull and tug and push of the voice struggling to keep control. The structure helps with this ebb and flow of the soul's desire. Well done.

Interesting form and a fantastic message, resist temptation in favor of pleasant times that may be a bit in the distance and stand firm. Nicely written, great job.

Comment from Boogienights
Although temptation will lure you in, there are always memories to pull you back. I like this form of poetry you've chosen here. It gives the reader little time to reflect, but enough to have an emotional impact. Well done.

Hey Boogienights, Yes temptations do revolve like a door. Some can cause quite a stir ...
