This is such a beautifully worded rictameter. In these times when integrity is becoming so scarce, it is a blessing to hear about something we all need to cultivate in our souls. Excellent. You have used your words wisely. Blessings, Linda

Sue - Nice story in that structured format. I enjoyed the poem. Unfortunately, nowadays, a man's word is only good if it is written down in a contract. Too bad. I enjoyed it.
My last two chapters of my script are posted. Let me know what you think.

Yeah...and if the i's and t's aren't crossed in the contract, they'll try to squirm out of it! Thanks, Charlie. Always love your reviews. :-)) Sue

This is another great rictameter. I like your short and concise phrases. The subject is truly one trait that we all must pursue. Be true to our words.

Comment from Ward9
This is an excellent Ric. Sixteezkid. If you center it, which I tried, it is a perfect diamond which is one of the things the rictameter tries to achieve. If you don't like the way it looks just reverse the center but it sure comes out super. Great first effort. It looks like you have been doing them for years. Jason

Whoa! What a compliment! I just fell in love with yours so much, I told you I had to give it a go. I love it! You know, I tried to center it like yours and it looked good, aesthetically speaking, but I was wondering if it might keep people off from reading it, because it looked "busier". I don't know...I'm on the fence with it. What do you mean about "reversing the center"? you mean a right hand side margin? Anyway, I'm going to let you be the judge. Should I center it or not? Ha! It's your decision since I can't make up my mind. Would love for you to join the contest because everyone is very excited about the form. Thanks again for your great compliment and review. Really keeps me encouraged! :-)) Sue

Okay, I decided. It's centered now. Because it is beautiful. Did the inventors of this form intend for it to make the diamond shape? To be centered?
-
Yes, that is part of the challenge Sue. You have done a great job. Jason
-
Yes, it adds "art" to the work.

Jude, would LOVE for you to join the contest! It's only 2 bucks. So glad you liked this. When I read Ward9's, I just knew I had to try it. And Marcia had the idea for the contest. Please join! I'd love to see what you come up with! Thanks so much for your very kind review. Sue

Good Morning. It doesn't say you entered the contest Sue. IF in fact this was a contest entry and you forgot to hit the right tab, Tom will fix it for you.

Oh, I replied about that on the wrong rictameter. I wrote the other one on "Music".
Thanks for saying so, though..because I have been guilty of doing that way too many times!
Comment from jshep
Yes, a man's word is his bond, at least it used to be. You write of honor among men, and in this day and age a reminder is a good thing. Very well stated and written. Love the flow of this form. 'And in return give back their own word as Golden'- especially liked this line. Gret job, Sue. Joyce

Like your use of this style. A person's word is their honor and when they give it without breaking it then an honorable person they become. Loved the message. Great write.

i liked the words you use in the poem, golden is a mans word, or so it should be, not neglecting that some, most are bronse and silver for the most part, nice formed thought.
