IT is a beautiful acrostic in which you have given a new and inspiring definition for transparency. The last lines are thought provoking 'Caught in fore ever's web of heavens love
Yesterday's transparency slips gently into eternity.

Carolyn, this Acrostic Poetry Contest contest entry fulfills the elements of the contest with spelling the chosen word and is especially well done in that it makes sense and is not just words to accomplish the acrostic but has layers of scriptural references and meanings. All the best in the contest1 :0 GracieAnn

A thought provoking definition of "righteousness": translucent, aromatic, sweet savor of sacrifice ( lovely alliteration here). Good use of consonance in the last line. Unique use of metaphor:forever's web of heavens love. Good luck in the contest, my friend.

This work has reached the exceptional level

What an interesting way to use Scripture references! It looks like you went from Romans 3 through to chapter 13.

Whenever God's Word is made a part of a poem,I have to rate it a 6.

Trust you have a pleasant week lined up,
God bless, Jerry

Hi Carolyn
You are getting better and better,both in framing yhe philosophy you wanted to set out and the language., that it is set in.
The message is clear. And i understand it.
Kindly go into yourself as you have started and fish for those gems.
Could I though, make one tiny little suggestion....and i mean no harm,sorry,

Be a little more simple
Choose a little less big or difficult words.
Thats all

Incidentally my book Songs of life has been released and soon will be in Amazon.
I am trying to find out myself.

Carolyn, your acrostic poem titled "Transparency" is very creative, illuminative and resourceful and it also Is very inspirational, enlightening and didactic and especially shows your cleverness in the lettering out your lines. The picture I just enjoyed looking at as it shows that transparency of a butterfly almost. Thank you so much for sharing and posting of your work for others and may the Lord be with you always.
