What a shame but it's true. If for even a short time we dare forget out Christianity and our faith it always gives Satan a chance to try to trick us to his side. We must keep aware of that always!

You are right, Patty. I always have my Satan detector on.

Satan is always on the prowl and we must always be aware and on guard. Thank you for the reminder in this excellent 20 syllable poem.

Well done and good luck.

Keep your soul above the dark water: "

Satan's on the prowl,
Looking for lost souls
Who have run afoul
Of their Christian goals." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Yeah, well, we can not be believers, but it's a fun poem all the same. It's a great entry for the twenty word contest, and I wish you the best of luck. All best, Ulla:)))

I entered this contest, but mine was silly and fun. I would vote for your poem if I could. The picture got me right away; it made me so curious. I soon realized that you explained the picture well, with your short story below it. Your rhymes are smooth and seem effortless. All in all, great job!

What a powerful 20 syllables these are! I love that you rhymed it, and both your rhymes and meter are perfect. Your message is clever and concise, and the picture fits beautifully. Great job!

Thanks, Michele. I do try to rhyme if possible.

reply by Michele Harber on 03-Jan-2022

I usually do too, but not everyone rhymes in these short pieces. You, however, not only rhymed but did it perfectly!

Good entry for this contest. Satan is out there, but we do not fear him, because God is more powerful, and will give us victory.

Thanks, Anne. I do have a little fear of Satan. I'd feel better if God would just kill him off.

reply by Anne Johnston on 04-Jan-2022

You are welcome. The day is coming when Satan will be defeated once and for all.

Hi Paul!

The essence of your poem is clear in my mind, especially if I use it as a metaphor for the current Covid pandemic and vaccination issue. It is hard for me to grasp how religious preferences would negate the need for shots against this disease. Satan certainly prowls our world. We need to minimize his influence.

I have also use mkflood for my artwork.

Mark

P.S. Best wishes for good health and happiness for the New Year.
