  Absolutely incredible! Your poem 'Not today Satan' is deeply poignant, touching readers at the very core, and showcasing a hard-hitting reality through raw, vivid imagery. The rhythm of your words was incredibly emotive and compelling throughout the piece, planting a seed of hope amidst struggles.
  
  You have a skillful way of conveying intense emotion and action, while still allowing room for divine grace and redemption in your narratives - this is greatly appreciated and truly uplifting. The recurring phrase 'Not today Satan, today we stand and God will have his way' adds a triumphant strength to the poem, interacting powerfully with the reader.
  
  As for suggestions for improvement, some verses could benefit from the use of more metaphoric language to increase the depths of the struggle and the subsequent redemption. In terms of rhythm, some parts of the poem run smoothly while some seem to halt the narrative's fluidity; so working on maintaining a more consistent flow and rhythm throughout your piece will enhance the reader's experience.
  
  Lastly, some readers might appreciate a more balanced approach that includes some lighter images or messages of hope scattered throughout, to mitigate the heaviness of the struggle and make the reader feel more uplifted.
  
  Your poem has the potential to reach a wide readership and make a significant impact. Keep writing and sharing your work. It's deeply moving and highly significant. Great job, and all the best with your future work! more »
