One man
       		                              Sin 
		                     Condemnation
	                      Through disobedience
                                        God's wrath
                                        Punishment			 
                                                                     All by Adam die	
                                      ---The cross---
       All in Jesus live
		                       Forgiveness 
		                        God's mercy
		                      Through faith 
		                      Reconciliation 
		                      Righteousness 
		                          One man 


(Romans Chapter 5)

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 3/3/2019 1:44:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Juliet Ligon Date: 3/5/2019 6:57:00 PM Thanks, Carolyn. I must have missed that. There are so many great ideas for this contest. Poetic hugs, Juliet.

Len Gasun Date: 11/17/2013 10:27:00 AM Wow! You came up with an excellent shape poem my dear friend Juliet. I love this very inspiring and unique write of yours. Thank you so much for sharing! Thank you so much as well for your precious time to read my diamante poem. My great honor for knowing that you chose it as one of your faves. TYSM and big hugs! I'll come back to read more of your work ok. love lots, Leonora Login to Reply Juliet Ligon Date: 11/17/2013 9:26:00 PM Thanks, Leonora. The inspiration came from Frank's "Poetic Palindrome" contest, though I had trouble fitting it into any of the contest's forms.

Tim Ryerson Date: 11/16/2013 3:42:00 PM 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... Login to Reply Juliet Ligon Date: 11/17/2013 9:24:00 PM Thanks, Tim, and thanks for the incite. I'd be interested to see yours. I'll look for it later.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/15/2013 5:46:00 PM Very cleverly done this one is!!! I enjoyed this enlightening poem. Login to Reply Juliet Ligon Date: 11/17/2013 9:22:00 PM Thank you, Andrea.

Juliet Ligon Date: 11/14/2013 12:10:00 AM 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. (?)
