Oh, wow, this is very powerful. I love how you write of determination to fight any negativity (storms) one faces in life.

'Let your face show some of that lightening' What a terrific phrase. I've been going through some personal turmoil and finally got the backbone to stand up for myself. That's why this poem had so much meaning for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Best Wishes, Lou

Wow - this was certainly a grand undertaking...thank you for all the time that obviously went into it! :) :) I did have a bit of trouble finding a rhythm throughout the piece both within each stanza and through to the end. Your rhymes and your images were amazing! :) :) Thank you for sharing! :) :)

    Thank you for the review and positive encouragement. This was driven by my thoughts on the weather the day I wrote it more than rhyme and meter.

Your poem is well written IF your intention was to express your self-imposed guilt over those things which you define as sin. I am no professional in these things, but as a sinner of some record, may I suggest you try writing a poem of the good things you do - the way you reach out, the help you give, the offerings you make. Sometimes we overlook our good works, but generally there are many. God Bless.

    Thank you for the review.
    This is part of an upcoming book chapter most likely for The Two of Me, which will shed more light on the concept structure.
    Please stop by if interested.
    God's Blessings to you.

The picture accompanying your poem is fabulous! Your poem has a nice rhythm and flow. I didn't catch the acrostic until I read the explanation below. The fact that you could do this is amazing. Best wishes in the contest.
