This is a follow-up on my last post How I Met Ms. Judith. I mentioned that I put my thoughts together in a poem...and here are the results! This is my first attempt at writing blank verse - a poem that doesn't rhyme. It's actually quite fun. (you should try it!)
Enjoy!
Why?
They ask me
Why do you believe?
Why do you have
faith?
Why do you love the
un-seeable?
The world tempts and
pulls
It tries to blind me
What can I say?
Why?
God shows me
Why do I believe?
I feel Him working
Working in my life
right now
I fear, He comforts
In His arms I dwell
Now I am safe
Why?
God prods me
Why do I have faith?
I can see Him near
Creation shows His splendor
Since He made it all
Why would I not
trust?
God is around
Why?
God shows me
Why do I love Him?
How could I not love?
My Savior, He first
loved me
My God died for me
Now I am rescued
For God is Love
Why?
God guides me
Why is my life His?
Freely I gave it
To worship, praise,
adore Him
He comforts, guides,
loves
He whispers my name
He is with me
Why?
I see now
Why am I in Christ?
With arms open wide
He welcomes me to
accept Truth
Tender, He holds me
He guides me through
life
He is my God
Thoughts? Have you ever written a poem with blank verse? How would you answer the questions I asked in the poem? Comment below!
This was BEAUTIFUL, Hosanna, I loved it! I think I've written a poem with blank verse before - it was probably horrible :D. I should try again though (and then post it on my blog!) because it looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteAgain, this was awesome, I loved it! Wonderful follow-up to your other post.
Thank you Savannah!!
DeleteOh, please do! I would love to read a poem that you wrote. =) It is so much fun to express your thoughts through the elegant rhyme and patterns of poetry. Even if I don't do anything with them, I love having the final results. =) Don't you?
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to consider posting more of my own writings...
Thanks for your comment!! =)
Girl, this was BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did such a good, good job. You should submit your poetry to, like, a magazine or something! =)
Again, this was amazing, Hosanna. Keep writing to the glory of God!!

Thank you Ariel!
DeleteLOLOL! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. =) I love writing poems! Maybe one day, once I've written enough, I can publish it in a book form. Who knows? *shrugs* It would be quite fun. ;)
A magazine...hmm...I'll have to think about that. =)
Thank you for your lovely encouragement! <3
Wow, that was beautiful, Hosanna!! Much better than my first attempt- you're a natural! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you Emily! I loved your poem in blank verse. =) Thanks for giving me the idea. ;) Hehe. Sometimes I can express myself in poetry better than just in my brain...which is why I'm a writer. =P Lol
DeleteThanks for the sweet comment. =)
Wow, that's a very awesome poem, Hosanna!!! I love the reminder to be prepared when people ask why we believe what we believe. And you did a great job with the consistent syllables!
ReplyDeleteI haven't written one of those before, but I think it may be a disaster! ;)
Great post!
Thank you Josiah!
DeleteI think you could do it. It's not much different from writing songs, which you are very good at. ;) But poetry isn't your thing as much, is it? =) Keeping writing songs over there! =) I love them!
Love the poem. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you Misti. =) Love you! <3
DeleteThis is so good Hosanna! Beautiful!!! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much, sweet girl! Love you! <3
DeleteWhen I read your other post, I was wondering to myself if you might share your poem with us. :) Thank you, Hosanna.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Jordy. =) Yes, I was planning on sharing it...but it would have been a long post if it was all in one. =) I'm glad you enjoyed reading it, and I hope it encouraged you!
DeleteAmazing poem, Hosanna! This is probably my favorite poem of all the one's you've done although they have all been really, really good. :) I love how both you and Emily are into writing poetry!!
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you Hannah!! I'm glad you liked this one. ;) I should probably post more of my poetry...but I don't often think of it. =) And yes, I have been enjoying reading Emily's poetry as well. She's another fabulous writer. ;)
DeleteThis is such a great poem, Hosanna! :D I really like it. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rebekah! I'm so glad that you enjoyed reading it. I hope it blessed you and caused you to think of how it fits into your own life. =)
DeleteThat is such a beautiful poem, Hosanna! :)
