Why is it odd to talk about God?

Why is it odd
To talk about God?
Yet people insist
To sit at their desk
In front of them stands
A statue of a fat man
To look at all day
But that’s not the way

That’s why Jesus came
So man will proclaim
A savior to help them
To be...

Why do we have Superheroes?

Everyone knows that superheroes do not exist
Young or old, man cannot resist
A fantasy of power not forsook
In cartoons and in books
in movies and in our minds
For decades we’ve kept them alive
Superheroes are a timeless trend
So if they...

It’s time to be blessed

When my life seemed to be at its worst, a neighbor said to me
Have you tried Christianity?
As I laughed out loud these words squeezed out
I don’t need to add something new to make a mess out of it too

So she handed me a Bible and a...

There’s a change taking place and it’s on my face

I have one eye bigger than the other eye
When I look in the mirror
I wonder why
It wasn’t like that before
Its noticeable now even more
There’s a change taking place
And it’s on my face

Having false teeth and a crooked nose
Watching my...

Your poems make you beautiful.
What is most important is that you are willing to write about yourself and what you are going through. Those people who don’t call or come to see you, they don’t have the valuable talent that you do. You can be honest and you can write poetry. That’s what makes you so beautiful. It’s who you are in the inside that matters . Thank you for sharing your poems with us.

Thank you for sharing the Word of God with me. Please write more. I want to get as much of God that I can possibly get while I am here in this world. It’s medicine … manna for my spirit soul and body.

I really like this one. It s how we as Christians see life. I believe it’s the Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Ghost that is inside of us that showing us what life is really about. That’s the feeling I get too. Thank you for reminding me .

For the love of poetry we shall unite embracing diversity with all our might. Poetry is the language of the heart. I like how you started out as one poet in this world and as I continued to read I saw how you brought all poets together as one . No matter how different our writings are, we as poets speak from the heart. Thank you

So many times I began a conversation with someone and as I’m talking to them I notice they are not listening to me at all. I feel like I’m talking to my self. I test to see if they hear me by not finishing a sentence. I stop talking . They act as if they have too much going on in ther head. Perhaps a frog in each ear. They didn’t hear a word that I said yet they would nod their head.

He sees his angel and falls in love with her but he has to remind himself that she doesn’t have a body so it cannot be. Perhaps she is in him or she is in the air. But she is not there in the flesh and the feelings of despair overwhelm him . He realizes the truth until he sees her again.
