Billie, Here is my review for your entry to "The Christian Writing Contest" . This is a contest for non-fiction prose. Your first entry was disqualified because it did not follow the prompt and, if I remember correctly, it was a poem and fiction. This entry does fit the prompt of writing about an 18th chapter or an 18th verse. In fact, you reference two 18th chapters: Matthew and Revelation. For me, your comments are not as broad as I was hoping for. Also, this item still looks like a poem. To present it as prose, it might have been better to display it like this: In chapters 18, we learn so many things from our Savior! In the Kingdom, we all will be equal! Matthew 18 tells us: We must become like children to enter eternity! The first will be last and the last will be first! Isn't this a wonderful promise? Yet, Revelation 18 warns of the end of the world: Babylon tells a great prophecy! The world will be vile and sinful, like it is right now! And the sinners will be backbiters, scornful of one another. "LORD JESUS, COME QUICKLY!" As I rearranged your words, I noticed that every line of your item is CAPITALIZED like a freestyle poem. I am therefore going to once again remind you that poetry is not accepted for "The Christian Writing Contest" . In the future, please remember this and submit your poems to contests that would be glad to accept them. There are lots of poetry contests around. There is even a place for you to enter this freestyle poem right now! Try your luck at:
That contest DOES accept poetry—specifically poetry that has failed to win in another contest—so this item would qualify! Good luck writing and finding good contests to use for your poetry!
