Scales tip at the hands of blind justice
allowing villainous' freedom.
Papers read of scandalous
headlines of a silent
assassin. Appeal
is cast upon
a karmic
decree
set.

Thus forming an upside down pyramid.
It was a challenge issued to me by luckynsincere as part of her poetic challenge.

I forget to add this to this piece:
A quote to imspire this piece..... "You don’t love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her" -
Now I will explain. Karma is the woman. No Karma is not loved beautiful she is beutiful but because karma is fair and impartial and we or rather I love her hands of justice it makes Karma beautiful.
I know a bit different for a metaphor but that's how I see it.

this poem is cool for many reasons the first of wich is that its pagan and so am i and therefore i get it
lol and the second is cause its a shape poem which i find incredably hard to get to work out right and thirdly the pic that accompanies it is way cool and lastly the shape of the poem you picked is like magick rising up from out spread arms which i think adds to the magick of this poem thank you for sharing and keep on impressing us all

nicely done.. and thank you for that authors comment.. made me see the form of the poem.. and the challenges you faced
.. though.. it seems this poem has many ways of enterpretting.. unfortunatly i'm not a personal fan of shorter poetry.. though i don't mind form at all. but that doesnt' effect my judgeing.. you put alot in a short poem.. wich is the main goal.. so you acheived that.. my critisism for this poem.. that is a good question... i'm not going to critisize it.. because of with the goals and guidlines you used.. you made a strong piece.. and any critisism would make you have to completely change the piece... so thank you for entering.. and keep writing
