How to Write an Addition Poem
I have written one addition poem in response to a challenge. It is not a Christian poem per se, so I will just post the link for anyone who wants to read it:
An addition poem about solitude and loneliness written in honor of National Poetry Month.
Anyone else want to try one?

That is very interesting and challenging too. Nice job Kathryn.
I had never heard of that either, but I like to experiment myself. So one time I tried this poem where each line has a word of 1 letter, then 2, up to seven. It was difficult, but I just let the sentences sort of float in their own syntax, and it really happened I think. Let me see if I can post this here (it's really hard to format):
Converseven
I do not have peace sinful earthly
I Am all hope haven heaven Creator
I do not know Light speaks clearly
I Am the Lord Jesus Christ eternal
O if you will touch Saviour quickly
I do not have trust please restore
I Am all good Truth healer blessed
I am but dust dirty broken deliver
I Am the Life blood person cleanse
I do see Love enter Spirit forgive
O be now made whole living forever
I am new keep faith always freedom
I to you Word fresh impart reveals
I in joy give dance Father praises
I Am the Vine fruit growth abiding
I on You rely dwell deeply commune
O if you love share richly command
I do yes obey child chosen servant
I Am God holy power gentle perfect
I in awe self dying humbly worship

I like yours, and thanks for sharing that method. I'll have to try it!
That is a very interesting poem, Karen. Thanks for sharing it - it is another good example of a creative way to do an addition poem!
