Immortal Image Versus Cruel Cage

Men were made in God’s immortal image
But were lured into serpent’s cruel cage;
    Christ bought redemption
     From eternal damnation,
For the sinner who wants to be a sage.

HI, Adeleke, This was a very nice limerick. I only just now saw your comment you made in my flower blog, where you urged me to write for your contest. If I can find the time, I will do it. I have written a poem about a historical incident in one AFrican nation. Would that be too specific for your contest?Also, I know a lady who did a great African nature poem. i'll contact her about your contest. LUv,Andrea
