You get into Satan's mind well and the deliberate capitalization creates great impact but at least He admitted defeat to the Lord's sacrifice. Well done, Tom.

I could hear the devil shout through your use of capitals, and I admired your continuing the Easter theme and your alternating rhymes in this sonnet. Cheers- Joan

Thank you Joan. Hope your ears aren't bleeding.
Comment from Nosha17
It is rather comforting to think that the Devil was defeated when Jesus died on Calvary. You have made good use of descriptive language and imagery and your rhyming was good. Anapestic I tried once and it is hard. I read what you wrote about creating the effect of discord, I think your meter may have not stuck with 11/9, as I noted couple of 8 and syllable lines, too. The overall effect was however good and the bitter hatred of the Devil shines through the words. Most appropriate picture. Faye

Thank you very much Nosha for your wonderfully detailed assessment.
Comment from robina1978
Great artwork that complements your poem perfectly. It is an original subject to think about how Satan experienced Easter. He RAGED. This must be a difficult form an anapestic Heroic Sonnet.

Thank you Ine. It took a bit longer than most to write, and I'm still not sure I got it right.
Comment from Dean Kuch
Heh-heh, yeah, I'd wager the big red guy was pretty upset when Christ spurned his offers if He would but bow down and worship at his feet. But, Christ did die, and on the third day was resurrected, so it's already a done deal, a foregone conclusion.
Great poem from the devil's POV...

I'm glad I had a look at your portfolio and spotted it. I frequently cruise the portfolios of my favorites here, just to see what they've been up to, LOL.
You are welcome, Tom... ~Dean

Well, you certainly come up with some interesting forms, Tom! This one works splendidly to express the venom. I found your capitalisation a bit distracting but enjoyed reading this aloud. Anyone within earshot might have imagined I was having a fierce contretemps!

You never cease to amaze me with the breadth of your repertoire. Have a look at my greek mythology in my portfolio for a slightly different outlook on hell. Another well-presented piece of work.. Well done.
