Apostrophe

Beyond Life's Gateway

I recently wrote a poem and entered it in a contest. One of the judges challenged my placement of the apostrophe in this line
(A record of life's journey to the sacred light )

It takes guts to attempt a villanelle and this poem stayed true to form. The grammar wasn't great. There were some spots where a comma was missed, or an apostrophe misplaced, misspelling of 'polls'. The rhyming was a tad forced, especially the intriguing bit about 'mythical moles'. The pace of this poem felt a little disordered with its wordy and uneven sentences.

The apostrophe in that line in your first paragraph is placed correctly. ("life's journey") You need the apostrophe there to indicate the possession. I'm not too sure about the rest of poem, since I haven't read it yet, but the above part is done correctly.
