Agreed, Jessie. Poetry seems to need an inspiration for me also! And you are very welcome for the critique...Originally Posted by jessie zuppo

I once thought I'd found Jesus in my local church. But all I had truly found were self-righteous fools. I looked for him the Bible, and found only words tainted by man's inability to truly comprehend Him. When I finally found Him it was in a movie. I am glad that you also found Him in time.

Doug,
I love this- BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT!! God has been within you this whole time- no one person in this planet can tell another how/when/where or who they have faith'in. For me, it is the cosmic flow of positive and vibrant energy that flows from one loving soul to another- to me, THAT is God.
For someone else, they may turn to the Bible, a local church, AA, whatever...however ANYONE chooses to pray/not pray, be agnostic/atheist; it simply does not matter to me.
Everyone is on their own journey and that is what this poem is essentially saying. It's a narrative on MY journey...yes, I'm a punk rocker, I listen to loud raging music and gangstah rap- BUT that bears nothing on my spirit.
I truly hope that this message has been conveyed through my poem. I do NOT PREACH to anyone, about anything- it's simply not my place...
Namaste my friends,
Jessie -

Today, I can say if any real friend were strapped and needed a loan- I wouldn't even blink to do that for them. My biggest role in life (aside from being a kickass mom) is to GIVE back to a community that I TOOK from--this is my redemption and I do it through the loving grace of my god.
Thank you for sharing your experience. -
I always return to this thread to see what Comments have been written.Today I came back to Read it!I usually only reread my own threads,but this poem,to me,is special.For one,I know the writer.Two it's has a style that's all it's own.The rhymes are there and not always in the "expected" place.What I'm trying to say is,I come here to learn how to write a poem!I love it's unusual style and the message is both personal and heartfelt.I'm sorry it was already on top,I'd love to bump it,but I had to write my thoughts today!

The comic in you comes out in your writing..I think it's genius!! You have a very campy type of humor that not many people have...so to bring something like that into your work- it's new, it's different- that's how you are able to stick out in the pack... Originally Posted by Doug Denslowe
