Escaping Evil's Clutches (bronze)

Missing image


Be wary when the darkness falls
for that's when evil comes and calls,
departing devils burning lair
to seek more souls, we must beware.

Keep piercing sight on God's domain
your faith in Him you must maintain,
don't fear the evil, God is near
a prayer to Him He'll always hear.

His light around you will protect
His strength in you surely connect,
don't fear the gloom, it always tries
to beckon souls with devil's lies.

For Heaven's gate is open wide
God's steed of hope shall be your guide,
ride oh swiftly into His arms
and never more you'll come to harm.

    Good title, write and message. Good take on the picture prompt. Good flow, rhyme and tone. Good meter and nice depth of feeling. Faith and trust in God always overcomes evil. Good word choice, alliteration and nice assonance. Thank you for your entry.

    a good poem, light conquering the darkness, the themes of sirituality slip solid ground foundations into the night's ways.

    excellent expression

    Your words take the reader into this dark and scary night so well. The message held within your poem lets us all know that our faith in God is what will save us from these dark forces.
    The rhyming is excellent.

    Good luck in this contest!

    Always so filled with deep truth and always, as well, written with a crisp, classic style. Perfectly fine.
