Success is measured
To men, by what is achieved,
Each day remember
Victory is oft perceived
Embracing what we believe.

Excellent choice of art work.

That is just right for these words.

When we embrace our faith in God

Can be a wonderful gift given to us by Him.

Your poem is in the correct syllable count for the tanka, but
for a few reasons, the most noticeable being your use of rhyme, I would not label it a tanka
I like the rhyme, just not the label :-)
I also like your insightful observation :-) Brooke

    Yes, I did think about that after I had posted. Thanks for taking the time to review, Brooke.

    since it's not a tanka contest, it doesn't matter :-)

I liked this short acrostic and it's message. When mankind can find and grasp a truth not taught by men, but through an invisible truth hidden within, then will truth truly comfort the wild beast within, made up of what's not believed, then man's triumph over their own arrogance will be bested over all they have unfortunately learned from each other.
Very nice and quite truthful. God bless and keep up the great writing.

thanks for the lesson inside the poem. success is only achieved with believe. believe can alone make someone a winner. dreams can give us an inspiration for achieving all our desires.

THEY USED TO SAY SUCCESS WAS MEASURED BY THE MAN AND HOW HE HANDLED HIMSELF IN LIFE. ACHIEVING A GOAL BY BELIEVING IN ONES SELF BRINGS GREAT VICTORY IN OUR LIFE.ACHIEVING WHAT WE STARTED OUT TO DO IS THE SUCCESS OF OUR LIFE LONG DREAMS AND BELIEFS

This one is very good and works as an acrostic too. How very inventive of you. Awesome.
