Rhyming couplets is always an exciting form to use to bring your point home in two line punches. This was very well written. I did trip a bit with the "commandment" and
"abandonment" but would not change it either. You conveyed your message well. excellent

Like the poem, you tell a very true story in few words. It flows well and is easy to read. Your form is good and I did not see any problems. Great job.

Very thought-provoking. Pain ideed DOES spawn the devil's seed. Mortals are looking for a way to alleviate the pain they are enduring and satan grabs on to that oppertunity. Excellent imagery in this piece as well s a word to the wise.

Your meter and rhyming are fabulous. Very descriptive imagery that gives know doubt that the seed is being spread in all forms through our lives. Very clever poetry.

Perhaps there has never been another time when there is so much temptation. Ephesians Chapter 6 in the Bible lists spiritual weapons to use to defeat the Devil.

Well done. This has such an eerie feel to it. Unfortunately, it is all too true. I like the first line, it is so descriptive. And the second couplet reminds me of the words, that as we think/desire in our hearts, that is what will eventually come out. Excellent job.

In one way or another most people have succumbed to temptation in some way. Your point out how the person would feel in a unique way. Great poem and rhyming couplets. Cody

This is a very intense poem about temptation. Your strong rhyming couplets carry so much hidden and implied meanings that are deeply personal. I think we all have given in to temptation of various degrees and forms and have experienced sad consequences and regrets.
Well done
Anabella

Very interesting approach to giving in to the devil's wiles. I don't agree that pain is being the main downfall. Because pain can make you stronger. But this is a good write, with nice rhyme, and natural flow. It was an enjoyable read...katz meow.
