Here is a recent charcter study of those preent in Isaiah 6:1-7
The Seraphim
They stood above the Lord. – 6:2
They had six wings. – 6:2
With two wings they covered their face. – 6:2
With two wings they covered their feet. – 6:2
With two wings they flew. – 6:2
One called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.” – 6:3
At the voice of him who called the foundations of the threshold shook. – 6:4
AND the house was filled with smoke. – 6:4
One of the Seraphim flew to Isaiah. – 6:6
He had a burning coal which he had taken with tongs from the altar. – 6:6
He touched Isaiah’s mouth with it and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” – 6:7
The LORD
In the year that King Uzziah died the Lord was sitting on a throne. – 6:1
He was high and lifted up. – 6:1
The train of his robe filled the temple. – 6:1
Above him stood the seraphim. – 6:2
He was “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.” – 6:3
“The whole earth is full of his glory.” – 6:3
He is the King, the LORD of hosts. – 6:5
Isaiah
He saw the Lord sitting upon a throne. 6:1
He heard that the Lord of hosts is “Holy, holy, holy.”
He said “Woe is me!” – 6:5
He was lost. 6:5
He was a man of unclean lips. 6:5
He dwells in the midst of a people of unclean lips. 6:5
His eyes have seen the King the LORD of hosts! 6:5
One of the seraphim flew to him, with a burning coal in his hand that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 6:6
He had his mouth touched with it. 6:7
His guilt was taken away. 6:7
His sin was atoned for. 6:7
King Uzziah
He died. - 6:1
The people Isaiah lived amongst
Were a people of unclean lips. - 6:5
This forces us to see the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man. Will we have our guilt taken away, our sin atoned for?

Paul, I really like it. Almost poetry and sentance flow diagram in one. Good idea to apply that to other passages (re-writing them in simple complete sentences). Thanks.
