Yes of course you will have 20 syllables in this poem, Paul. I love the humour and irony in your verse. And the bright artwork really sets off your presentation. Good luck in the competition, Giddy

Thanks, Giddy. I had trouble finding a good picture.

I note you changed the pic from the provocative to the whimsical! This pithy verse is apt for the theme--title and description support the theme--good call.

Thanks, Liz. I upset some people with that first picture. Bad judgment on my part.

Great warning, I pray we all take heed, as time itself is
not promised. The world is certain to delight Satan at this time. Good luck,
Blessings...

This is a terrific 20 syllable poem with a warning message. We need to be more vigilant then ever in a world that has changed so drastically. A great contest entry, best of luck. :)

Perfect count, with rhymes to match--a truer message I can't imagine. So often we get lost in the commercialization of Christmas and lose the true meaning~ a celebration of Jesus' birth! Nicely done and very possible a winner~

A 20 syllable poem is difficult to be well-written and make it a good read and an important message.
You have accomplished this.
Well done

Such a wonderful 20 syllable poem. It is so true. Satan is a on a prowl. Let us not lose sight of our Christian goals. Wish you the best in your future writing.

These short poems don't always make sense. However yours does. It is concise and to the point. Satan is everywhere, just waiting. We must all be aware x

Paul,

Thanks for letting me know to come check again. I really like you message - and it's very true. The Bible I read tells me clearly that Satan can tempt me and I can lose my place. But it's crazy that everyone reads things differently!

Thanks!
