New Poet	I wanted to introduce myself and congratulate the many poets I've read who provided so many wonderful poems. I love to write poetry and will keep posting poems even though I definitely have a lot to learn. I write what I'm familiar with so I hope others will relate. I'm content with what I write, yet I really want to learn how to write in new forms. Any tips are welcome. God bless everyone and happy writing.

Blank Verse	Hi. I understand what Blank Verse is, I believe... but have trouble telling if my syllables are in the correct form (meter). I'm used to just writing free verse and am so unsure of writing metered verse which is, from my understanding, what blank verse requires. This poem is for the new contest, but I'd like it critiqued to see if it meets the standards... could someone just explain the "meter" to me so I can edit it with the correct meter needed to be blank verse? Thanks to anyone who helps Romans 6:23 King James Version (KJV) 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Sin comes in many vivid colors Lies of brightest purple and aqua Adulteries of both blue and red Anger that has hues of green to dread Sin happens when a heart goes off course Toward a mischief that leaves brokenness Amid the feelings there are atrocities That can only come from the discrepancies Sin opens its arms to those who hurt someone With betrayals and jealousies that always hurt And great advantages in the world of distrust Where there are so many of us living in lusts Sin tries its utmost to look like an innocent Fills minds with reasons it invents to do it Whatever life brings you can know its truth Comes from lies told by that evil one’s desires Sin rests upon the soul who never repents Refusing to seek forgiveness or absolution It hopes to take the sinner straight to hell Where it will forever be with them in the fire Sin tries to tell you that you can’t be sorry And come to the only one who can forgive you Provide mercy to your yearning heart and soul So that you know the One who forgives us all Sin doesn’t want you to regret what you’ve done It would rather you contemplate your demise But God doesn’t want you to live with the pain He grants you a second chance with rebirth in Christ edited by ReginaRiddle on 10/5/2019 edited by ReginaRiddle on 10/5/2019

Honest Critique please	Honestly, I've never written an allegory form - but your poem is truly a exceptional write. I love how you've written it and believe you should add poet's notes with it to help the reader to understand even better. It's a wonderful poem. God bless you
