Okay, first of all, your concept for this piece is unique & funny, but your writing style is so delicately crafted & carefully worded, it turns it into something else completely. I really love this piece, it’s magnificent…
You have great rhythm,/rhyme throughout this piece, & you manage to incorporate humor throughout. I too love the line “my hand does not cross that delicate line.”
Wow: “But you see at the time I was most distraught for Satan left our sky”
“But as free creatures, it’s your…”
I really love the lesson the narrator gets from this conversation, it’s very unique & somewhat unlike principles I know from other religions. I love the ending-very cute. Going to add this to my picks… I just can’t describe why I like this poem so much, aside from your flowing language, humor and uniqueness.
FANTASTIC JOB.

Very 'Paradise Lost' in a way. I can see that you are really creative.
God bless,

Smart take. Very true also. A wonderful display of the truth and trials of free will. I'd rather have a God I need that wants me than a God who needs me that I want. Great work.

This was a great poem. It is a very clever concept, having God and the devil for tea to ask them there reasons for things. It caught me right away. It flows beautifully, and all of the end words for each word sound like the same rhyme, which is interesting. I did see a lot of spelling errors, like "whille" instead of "while" and "aple" instead of "apple". Also, you might want to put quotes around the lines of dialouge within the poem so that the reader knows that someone is speaking. Other than those thing, this is wonderfully written and so original. Great job.

I really enjoyed this. I love the fippant friendly style. "Theres a party at pandemonium at nine" Fantastic and funny.
Couple of typos, I'm not sure you want them pointed out, but I like it when people point them out to me.
"chery pie" - Cherry pie
"Aparently" - Apparently
"Expireience" - Experience
I really enjoyed this.
Well done.

You kept it so light and upbeat, and yet there is s many serious answers in this. It was really well written I love it! As soon as I can I'll add it to my picks! Check over though, cuz I noticed some typos.

I loved the idea of sitting and eating tea and pie with Satan and God- really creative! Your poem was really well thought out, but at first I thought it was funny that you had written about God and *Santa* oh well, I apologize for the confusion, it made much more sense after I overcame my dislexic moment and realized that you meant Satan! As before, your work really made me think X
