My, you are prolific these days. I enjoyed your less usual rhyme scheme in these quatrains. I liked your alliteration of "s's" in the first stanza (I think the "s" got lost on "churns".) Thank you for sharing your declaration of faith. -Joan

Hi, Treischel,
This is an excellent poem with strong rhyme and rhythm. It follows an excellent rhyme scheme fairly consistently. It has good figurative language. I enjoyed this one.

So you ate McNuggets too... I like the Buffalo Sauce.

Anyways, this poem came out better than I thought. Enjoyable spiritual read. Good lyrical flow of rhythm and rhymes. Nice artwork. Excellent poem.

A very good poem about resisting temptations, that all of us face at one time or another, unfortunately we all aren't strong enough to resist them. This poem illustrates that faith was the protection here. Great job! Sararb :)

Your points are excellent and splendidly articulated. The poem flows in an easy sequence and comes to a satisfying conclusion. It is easy to follow the progression of thought and I enjoyed this reading experience very much. I saw no changes that needed to be made. It is just right in presentation and content. Lovely.

With faith we can overcome temptations, although there are many. It is a constant struggle, since we humans are weak, and the piper is at every turn, with another temptation. I like how your poem honestly states that you are weak without your Savior. Very nice.
