Hi Debi, Hell, No. I am not ready for Judgment Day. I'm still a work in progress. Lol, but true. Your poem reads and flows well and has good Acrostic format which is not an easy feat. Many times an Acrostic poem sounds sing-songy, and this poem does not. Of special note:

Your Love's Eternal Home we'll share
(Some of Us will be in His home. I don't know about myself. I still have much to do. I better get going.)

Good rhyming. Well chosen photo. A pleasure to read. Well done.
Congratulations on your well-deserved win! Xo. M

What can I say? You're amazing. This acrostic, Debi flowed with graceful words and a natural rhythm.

Nothing forced, well rhymed. No wonder you won the contest! Congrats on that.

    Thank you so much Mike. As always you are just the sweetest guy and the six stars are always a true honor. I appreciate it so much...

Judgement Day. Many people live for the enjoyments of today and don't take the time to think about their eternal life. Your acrostic poem is well done with end rhymes that naturally follow into the next line.

Well done on your contest win both with this post and your 'Love me, love me not.' This post is so cleverly crafted as an acrostic to the point that, were in not for the different font, you'd not notice. To achieve that with rhyme as well is an excellent achievement. Well done! Take care Debbie

Good poem about your faith and the end of time.
The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.

Okay, I don't think you should get all my sixes on the first two days of the week, so I am giving you a virtual six on this well-done acrostic poem. It has already won; congratulations. I did like the rhyme...roast and ghost. Terry.

    I hear you Terry. I feel like I have been saving so many for the next week that when the next week comes, I'm already saving for ...... you get my drift.
    I feel like the guy who is borrowing from Paul to pay Peter. Just too many good ones out there and I don't review nearly as much as the rest of you.

    So with that being said, I accept your wonderful virtual (almost) six stars. And I appreciate it virtually almost as much as the real ones... lol..
    Seriously, you know me better than that and I do appreciate it every bit as
    much. As I do you. Thanks for the great review and comments.
    If Willie is still over your way, I will be popping into see him later. I might have to bring my virtual six along with me as well as I am down to one left that might be gone by the time I get there. I think we should hit Tom up for a raise, don't you think? Maybe a few midweek, Thursday sixers.

    You will have to explain to Willie why he didn?t get a six
reply by the author on 08-May-2023
    Hell, at Willie's age, he might mistake the word six for sex, and be thankful he is getting it virtually.

Back to back contest winner! Nicely done, Debi. I'm generally not fan of acrostic poems because they are a bit too gimmicky. But this is an excellent representation and speaks to your faith. Well done.

    Chuck, and thank you for letting me call you that. I am not a fan of the new king and that is what comes to mind when I say it. Lol.....
    I appreciate your very kind comments for this poem. I am afraid that I rhyme so much that I have to be careful I don't do it while in conversation with family and friends. It is an occupational hazard, so it is hard for me to write without it. I even have to fight myself off when writing prose. Lol...
    Thanks again my dear friend, Chuck....

Judgement Day is a day many should live in fear of. We are well aware of our shortcomings, our failure to live up to the standards we have been given. God is a forgiving God, but he does have his limits. We must guard against being caught off guard and being so far removed from his grace that we cannot find our way back into his good graces.

    You are the best and you know it, dear bro. Thank you for the always awesome reviews and comments that keep my heart singing.
    Also as it gets closer I will be asking for some extra prayers for my sight. On June 14 and 28th will be having surgeries to try to repair the damage done after a bad case of shingles got into my eyes a few years ago. They are slowly getting worse and weren't sure if they were even going to try, but since I have to go have the cataracts done anyway, they have decided to try.
    I am not one bit worried about the cataracts as they say that is a piece of cake, but the other is threatening to blind me. No matter what tho, I will always see your big grin smiling back at me. Love, lil sis, Debi

    May God use his holy spirit to guid the hands of the surgeons as they seek to repair what has been damaged and return you to the very best of good health. In the name of God's dear son Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen.
