Juliet, if this poem had been written in one of the forms required for this contest, it would have ranked higher. I posted contest updates and blogs, hoping the "shape" forms would be rewritten. With many outstanding entries, judging was difficult (again). Congratulations on your placement! And thank you for supporting the contest. Best wishes, Carolyn

Thanks, Leonora. The inspiration came from Frank's "Poetic Palindrome" contest, though I had trouble fitting it into any of the contest's forms.

Beautiful expression of your faith Juliet...I think the form is called 'Concrete' or 'Shape'...I did exactly ONE called 'Memorials' which was a cross as well...It took two hours to write it and two days to get it right...

Huh? The word "punishment is supposed to be centered. And the phrases above and below "the cross" are supposed to be stretched out further (to resemble a cross). Correct on the editor, but not here. (?)

Never mind, fixed, I think. Strange....
