Nice effort! The only suggestion that you might consider is changing one word. That is "duplicity". The core meaning is deception, treachery, or betrayal. Since electricity does not think or strategize, if you will, perhaps something like "perplexity" would work? I can't complement you enough on the multiple other 5-7-5's that are masterful, even with the one scratchy word. From one 5-7-5 er to another. Good job!

Thank you so much GracieAnn. What a fabulous review and generous rating. I intended duplicity not as an adjective for electricity, but to convey the thought that we'd be left in the dark. Wouldn't that be treacherous?

a delicious verse full of proven reasons to live as though faith was as knowable as gravity. You capture the unseen as though you can see it. Good job

Comment from Righteous Riter
I like this piece from start to finish. The writer does a good job of describing faith and what's not faith. This piece harmony, this piece has rhyming, this piece has it all. Good job.

Comment from GeraldS
This should be a strong entry for this contest. The narrative is very well written. The words are reasonably engaging and the flow is smooth. The message is universal and should resonate with most readers. It is also thought provoking. Overall this is a special piece. My only criticism is the lack of contrast between the background color and the font color. Unfortunately I have retinal problems, and this presentation was difficult for me to read.

I like who you gave good examples of what happens when we have faith. If someone does not have faith after reading this then I think something is wrong. Faith works and you shown us how.

Indeed, what shape would the world be in if, throughout the ages, people had lacked faith in God, self, science, etc.?
good--thought-provoking

Comment from Robin Gilmor
Interesting take that hits the mark with faith. Such an individual thing I think sometimes people use it when convenient. Oh well, your verse was enjoyable and well presented. Thank you for sharing your verse as well as your lovely photo. Smiles. Robin :)

Comment from mshirachot
This one is over-the-top great! It should appeal to reader. What a brilliant idea to cover the scientific and humanitarian angles as well as the spiritual type of faith. Nice photo choice as well!
Perfect word counts on ALL the 5-75 stanza...and then you gave the layers of that cake some frosting with the rhyming.
Best wishes with the faith contest entry!
Blessings!
