This is a very interesting and very well written poem you have penned for the decision contest entry. You used very good descriptive words and very good imagery. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Wow. How long did it take to dot all the i's and cross all the tee's to hit the mark of an Complex Alliteration. I understand the two sides, but rather doubt I would take to compete in a contest where only C.A.'s are required. Well done.
In other words it would be two much for me to tryð??µâ??ð??«

Wow! This is stunning poetry of the war between the devil and the Christian, mystery poet. We have spiritual armor: the helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, sword of the spirit, belt of truth and gospel shoes. Our victory is sure and we will triumph over evil in God's perfect peace. O happy day!

Sensational form and presentation.

Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the upcoming contest.
Sally Law :))

You offer two very different options here, a life of grace or a life of fire and brimstone, I know which I would prefer but the fight still rages outside my door. Both verses are powerful and strong here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

This work has reached the exceptional level

You are a master at implementing every poetic form that comes your way, making it seem well known to you; and this complicated form is no exception.

Beyond fulfilling all the requirements of the form, it flows smoothly without any wording that seems forced; and the text of each verse fits its theme well. The contrast between the themes of the two stanzas is emphasized by the contrasting colors of each verse's text; and the dual-color symbol between stanzas links them well, as does the title above the poem.

I like both your choice of stanza themes and of the wording in each. As a poem of faith, it is superb and aptly illustrated.

    You are most welcome, Susan.

    You have a way with words -- even when there are few of them. :)) -- Mike

    You are most welcome, Susan.

    Congratulations on winning Second Place with a difficult poetic form that you mastered as well as so many others, regardless of complexity.

    [My earlier reply was meant to go to your other post, but it is still true.]

    It's good to see you are finding time to write again. :)) -- Mike

I think the wording is quite good. Although, I am not sure I understand the formatting. There is wisdom and truth in this poem. I wish the best for you in the contest.

WOW! So I'm new to this form of poetry and it certainly seems complex (no wonder it's called complex Alliterisen!) but I truly loved it! THe alliteration is stunning and comparison between two halves is so striking as though it presents 2 sides of the coin for which a decision can be formed. I wish I had a 6 for you and this fine piece.
