Yes, principles will make you stand when one can NOT sit any longer.
This is wise words. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

Great antonym poem using the near (assumed) opposite of sit/stand. It has a great message. Good luck in the contest.

I like it. I tried one of these for the last contest and I thought mine was pretty good - but it wasn't this good. This packs a great message in addition to meeting the contest requirements.. I love the idea of circumstances forcing us to take a side - to live out principles.

    Hi Mark! You can bet your sweet assistant that your poem was good! Thank you for checking on this one. I just finished having to stand and take a side...so it wrote itself. Thanks for caring to write.

I like your message here, LoannaLois. But I'm afraid
most folks are comfortable sitting on their asses because they lack principles.
You vision is far more benevolent than mine.

I wish you well in the voting.

Peace, Lee

LoanaLois;
-I just love your antonym poem and for one thing it meets the requirements perfectly and secondly is well composed and very easy to understand.
-Your resourceful imagination is very gifted, and clever and also very inventive and ingeniously creative.
-There was good use of enjambment which is the running on of a thought and concept from one stanza and line to the next without a syntactical break.
-Good luck in the contest and may the good Lord be with you forever.

Hi there,

I have never tried one of these myself either but you seemed to have managed it fine. I like the message too. The form seems good.

Good luck.

Well, you've done an excellent job with this poem, Loanna Lois. Love your choice of opposites, but it was the cleverness and truth conveyed in your juxtaposed lines that hit me.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I only give a six if it is truly worth it. It stops at 6 but would give more for insight like this. Generally they do force me to stand, principles that is. Thanks for the privilege of reading your work.
