Your words brought a picture of the Black Gates to my mind. I could see it like I was there and feel the regret. This definitely felt like you experienced it hand on. Well done.

OMG! What an awesome poem with a great image. This poem travels through the horrors of a hell to be faced. I think you have a great talent to have written such a great poem. Keep writing with the passion you have shown here. Thank you so much for sharing. Hugs Linda

Comment from Ben Colder
Good entry. Bad gate to be swinging on at eighty years. LOL. Know so salvation is in Christ. The Pearlie gates should be the one opening wide for you. I do wish you the best.

Thanks, Ben. Too many old people refuse to relent until their dying day--it's too sad, and such a waste.
Comment from royowen
Oh dear, man's soul is eternal, but the choice of its ultimate destination is "soully" held in our own hands, and judging by the highly descriptive narrative, the understanding is clear in the mind of the writer. Well done, some great descriptive imagery in these aabb rhyming quatrains, the language is highly expressive and articulate, good luck in the contest, blessings, Roy

This is The second Gate Contest entry.
The first was good about an old, rusty, gate where the writer lived as a child.
The ending was sweet and touching.
This piece is a more dominant form.
You describe a place where no man should dwell?
Great theme as well as Imagery...
"Flowed well with no Grammar issues.
Adjective content...
{So important}
was superb. good luck with this...

This is very good. I assume you're talking about the gate on the border wall. This will make an excellent contest entry. Contests are a good way to stretch your limits.

Yes, it is the border between Heaven and Hell.
