Be patien T ear down your neighbor

                             Don’t tell a li E schew the truth

         Your reward is God’s kingdo M ake money your God
                   Be wise like the Mag I gnorance is bliss

                      Be meek like a chil D efy God’s laws

              Don’t walk the middle lin E mbrace tempation

Monterey Sirak October 27, 2015 at 6:09 AM I don't know how you do it! An acrostic down the middle...it could be read as two separate poems, and full of wisdom and truth. This is fantastic!

CayCay Godwin October 26, 2015 at 8:31 PM Oh my gosh! I know the contest has posted, don't remember who won, but it doesn't matter - this is a winner. Clever and intelligent combined with life lessons. I am impressed ... CayCay (I'll go ahead and say congratulations regardless of how it placed)

Richard D Seal October 22, 2015 at 6:41 PM I might step over the line for ignorance is bliss on occasions lol. Great job done here Petal. oooooo that fast lane is sooooo tempting lol, Take care, Richard

Tim Smith October 22, 2015 at 3:48 PM I like it Andrea and the contrasts are amazing.

John Lawless October 22, 2015 at 10:22 AM Has echoes of the Johnny Cash song...Because your mine...I walk the line...must have been muse mayhem constructing this one....

Miraj Raha October 22, 2015 at 8:26 AM This is excellent!!!It must have taken a shit load of time to craft something like this.With Kim I agree as it brilliantly depicts the great divide.Exceptionally creative Andrea.

Kp Nunez October 22, 2015 at 5:15 AM Creatively thought provoking lines that clearly define the great divide. Loved this poem and layout, Andie! 7 and fav. Just the "t" on the last word. PS. Thanks for giving me the link to the S & G song! I know of it but not familiar with the lyrics and so I didn't recognize "silver girl". Know what, was a bit teary-eyed when I savored the meaning. Thanks and hugs!
