I love the form of Sally's second. Canny.

Thank you, Kilby! It's a trenta-sei, a form devised by John Ciardi. If you like cascade/repeating forms, these are a lot of fun to write.

Congratulations, poets. These are beautiful and thought provoking. I am going to print them off and read each one more slowly outside during my morning reading. Thank you for stirring our hearts and minds to behold the Lamb of God.

Well done! These are all excellent choices. Thank you for pointing us to the Lamb.

Well done! It is a very challenging task to have Gerard Manley Hopkins as a goal. The subtle use rhyming in "Luminous Mystery" is admirable. May they be read by many.
