Azuka Jebose's Letter To God: Please Let My Mother Die! / A Letter From Me To God (2) (3) (4)
A Prayer To God by lum1: 9:55am On Jan 18, 2010 |
For the sake of these I go on knees I go simply cos I am his I can no more burden the trees For Satan torments among these My life now lives under trees One and another like cheese It blows, it flows, Satan's breeze Lord can longer stomach these With trouble I am about to freeze They come to beat me with trees Even when I run to seas With water I am about to freeze You gave me life on a lease So I gladly come saying please Save from danger ridden trees Help from shark infested seas For I hate to think of freeze Save my sweet lord from these I do all these on knees In Jesus mighty name with please |

Hey, lumi, what can I say? I connect with the concept of crying to God for help, used to write poems like this when I was younger. However, I notice that you pay too much attention to rhyming every line, a mistake lotsa beginning poets make. This tends to be confining, makes your poem stilted,and the message you're trying to pass across gets lost in transit. You should try rhyming just two lines, that would make things far easier for you,for example after saying 'I go simply cos I'm his' you could go 'I lay my burdens at his throne,cos I no longer can bear'em on my own',makes the poem fluid, and stresses you less. If you also concentrate on the message you wanna pass across,instead of the medium you're passing it through,you'd achieve far more. The good thing about being a beginner is that you can only get better, big ups. |

[b]I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
