    And since I only received one entry, the clear winner is Free Verse!

    Here is the attempted entry at the sonnet!

    Title : Ben and his inspirational senyru

    Now every year, a new religion is born
    along with that a race of humans is formed.
    If not, we make a thin line of the thorn
    to divide our feeling of humanity as it is scorned.

    Our mind and heart have shifted their position;
    Hatred overcome love, and we stopped considering ourselves as one.
    To bring our lives once again into motion -
    this time the God won't be able to crucify his son.

    For our curiosity that what nature embodies -
    we are facing calamities like storm, earthquake and flood.
    Soon, water will be found only within our bodies,
    and oceans will be covered with the innocent's blood.

    We spend billions to seek out all the answers within the universe.
    Ben, yes we are ignorant, as we elude to accept the truth around us.

    Note: The inspiration behind this poem is a senyru written by Ben - 'A Clever Kind Of Cluelessness'.

    Thank you so much for participating. As a reward, free Verse, pm me the title of two of your poems that you would like me to comment on.

    Great job Free Verse.
    I like what you did Everlasting. You did not give up. You went all the way to finish line. This by itself is a wining in my book
