Great Acrostic poem, Lisa. Those temptations can pull us right into the shadows of life. Beware! the Love is not there. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Good Morning Andrea. Hi. Thank you as always for a generous review to which I do not take for granted. Truly. Also thank you once again for intake and comment on "if we play our cards right". You need not explain because I knew what you meant and there was offense. I hope it is never an offense to any of you that I write in simple terms and not vintage. Have a wonderful morning and weekend too. Peace and Blessings always (smile)

Dear Lisa, your contemplation on temptations is potent and inspiring. It takes awareness to recognize temptations and determination to separate oneself from its negative influences. Your vivid verse is beautifully expressive and your last line is a positive finale to a thoughtful piece. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

This is such a well written, expressive and thoughtful poem dear Lisa. Great acrostic poem with clever, well crafted chosen words. It is true, temptations are all around and many not good for us unfortunately. Profound lines,’ my mind is decision clouded’ ‘ taking me down with destruction’. I love the ‘awakening’ when the mind is clear and the last two lines so powerful and positive. So enjoyed it my lovely poetic friend. Hugs and smiles to you for a lovely weekend. Xx :):)
