I love how you employed the metaphor here... it works incredibly well. From title to last line - this is well done... and your point - well expressed.
Nicely done, Em!

This has an ominous note that goes well with the subject. Not bad, not bad - but do refrain from slipping on any more icy-dark roads, what?

| I like the connection between black ice and sin, both can be invisible until tresspassed. Very creative plot, and excellently written. |

good metaphor for getting caught in sin and slipping...
awesome write, the words and the short lines really made it visual and active (if that makes sense)

| This was a really good poem. Putting aside the actual material for a few moments, just the setup of each line was pretty ingenious. It's also surprising how u came up wit this idea, like its amazing how black ice can honestly remind u of sin sometimes, based on the characteristics. Very nicely done. |

Emily, this is amazing. I love this comparison. I love how you so often relate the Bible to everyday occurrences because it shows me that you are really in tune with God's will and His hand in your life. But, the poetry was a nice treat too. I liked it. The fast-paced, catching tone that gripped me from the beginning. Wonderful. Stay close to Him. Love you, Em.
