I don't think I've ever seen this poetic form before. I liked it. You did a wonderful job describing the difference between God and Satan in this writing prompt entry. I enjoyed reading and want to wish you luck with the contest.

This is an excellent poem for this format. The messages, love playing and clear. When we know God, we know that he will take care of us, but if we don't know God, then Satan has us in a bind, and is wanting to slay us. Patricia

Very neatly and succinctly executed with an excellent illustration! The form and layout are particularly effective when dealing with ides of opposite meaning or impact!

This is a new form to me, and I think you did it well. The juxtaposition between Jesus and Satan is strong. The homophone praying/preying works well for your topic. I understand your reasoning for not capitalizing Satan, but it is a name, and therefore it is correct to capitalize it. It's not to give it importance so much as it is just following proper grammar. When I studied French, I learned that they don't capitalize their word for Christian. That kind of bothered me, but it's the same. It's not a personal attack to use small letters, or an exaltation to capitalize. It's just grammar rules. That being said, it's your poem, and if you choose to exercise some poetic license, you can do that. I think your poem made your contrast well, and I think you succeeded in making the feelings in the poem stand out.

I'm with you. I always say "satan" lower-case/ no respect. No PROPER noun there! You did a nice job with what I consider to be a difficult form.
When so limited in words and repetition it's difficult to hit a theme hard.

You did it!

Interesting entry for the Tyburn poetry writing prompt contest. It's an ancient war between good and evil.

The rhymes and meter are forced and they don't flow well. The poem construction is not clear.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

Thank you Gupsy, I do appreciate your feedback and you kind comments.
Yet, even the example of these types feel forced and I didnt think we're supposed to follow rules of meter. That is good to know. Thank you again my friend.

Tyburn poetry of which I have not heard. I know about Tyburn many were hanged in UK. Interesting poem, wouldn't capitalize the name either. Interesting theme throughout. The eternal tussle of which Jesus will win.
Luck in the contest. K xx

What a great use of the tyburn to show us the spiritual reality of our God Who is always with us and stays with us as we pray. I like that you give no ground to the evil one and won't even capitalize that name.
Best wishes in the contest!

Hi Hele, thanks for your kind comments for my Jesus vs satan poem.. I actually had a review from someone today that asked if I felt I had the right to not capitalize everytime I despised someone. I answered that first of all, I don't dispise any person, ( I learned at a young age if I used the words hate, my mother always said, you don't hate anyone) But I reminded him that I was talking about the one who is responsible for all evil in the world, and even my collega professor, accepted my feelings, then he should to. It's something I won't budge on. I sure do appreciate your awesome teview my desr friend
