Sort of excited to do my new post-a-poem-every-Tuesday plan. But as I said in the last full paragraph of my first post, no promises. (Not to make everything come back to OCD, but one of its rules is anything can become compulsive … so I have to pay attention to the motive/drive behind any commitment or rhythm.)
Anyway, I’m excited enough where I decided to do two … one here, and then this other one here. I had two totally different type poems I was choosing from, and I thought, hey — why choose?
This one, “Spitting out the Fruit,” is a Bible poem; I wrote it as an “I will” action statement after reading John 8:1-11 with a friend in a Discovery Bible Study to help me reflect further on it. The other one, “More Questions,” is a different type–more directly personal.
I don’t know if you want to read the passage first or afterwards. Some of you may be familiar with it already … again, it’s John 8:1-11.
As always, honored by any engagement whatsoever with either of them!
