Thank you! That is something I have not heard in such a long time.

You're welcome! It is true.. continue writing. It's a great gift. I love poetry and it's such a great way to express your feelings. I wish I could write like that!

Oh this is a good thread. Well have one to share I thought was really good but I didnt write it, a lady in my christians writers group penned it.

How does Your Garden Grow?

A farmer went forth to sow grain in his field
And he was expecting a very good yield.
Some fell onto paths, which the birds came to eat.
Others fell on rocks, so they died in the heat.

Some seeds grew with thorns, and became total flops.
While those in the good soil produced bumper crops,
Of thirty, and sixty and a hundred fold.
This is the story Jesus told.

The disciples, they said, "Whats this parable mean?"
And Jesus replied, "Let me set you the scene.
The seeds are the people who follow God's call,
But some are hardhearted, and therefore they fall.

The devil sows thistles which choke out God's word,
These people grow weary, they forget what they've heard.
Their longing for money, and the cares of this life
Separate them from God, and they end up in strife.

The good ground belongs to the people who hear.
They'll shine as the sun, and good fruit they will bear.
The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto them."
The disciples all clapped, and shouted, Amen!"

I like how the author was able to use that parable in a way that logically rhymes. A most excellent of poems.

Here is the third installment in my Odes to God, which I write yesterday.

Whence thou came, need not I understand.
But to please thee, for I am in thine hand.
And thy Spirit, cannot I resist:
To be like thy Son, is my greatest wish.

I need not cry, nor tear, nor despair,
For the Kingdom of God is nigh, and I am an heir.
And whether I stand, or whether I fall,
God is still love, and love endureth through all.

But to please thee, for I am in thine hand.
And thy Spirit, cannot I resist:

I need not cry, nor tear, nor despair,
For the Kingdom of God is nigh, and I am an heir.
And whether I stand, or whether I fall,
God is still love, and love endureth through all.

Another great poem Juk! Thanks a lot posting it [emoji106].

Here is installment number four, based on a situation that happened to me in school today:

Ridiculed and I, and mocked as well.
For Jesus Christ, and God, and hell.
But as was said many years afore,
"Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

Here is the fifth one:
My God, my God, wherefore hast thou neglected me?
Nay; on the contrary, I have neglected thee.
My body is weak, and thine Words confuse me;
But thou art strong, when my faith is weak.

If you guys did not know, I write the poems when an inspiring phrase pops up in my head. In this case they were the first two lines in this ode.

Hey Juk, you should read the Psalms if you haven't already. It will inspire your poetry.

Psalms - the poetic books.
If you haven't done so, please read them Juk.

I read the entire book of Psalms on my attempt to read the entire Bible cover to cover. I ended reading the entire Old Testament and went into 1 Corinthians and almost finished it as well, until I stopped. The only chapter from Psalms I did not read was 119 because I was determined to read 5 chapters a day and that chapter was too long. I will read it one day, though. It has something to do with prayer, I think.
