Anyone have a good poem, they would like to share??

Question

Here is one of mine, to get it started.

Infectious Disease
Infectious disease speak of the demons that torment us.

Infectious Disease.
Rotting my mind.
Blinding my sight.
Stealing my life.
Taking control.
Losing control.
Doing unspeakable things
This infectious disease.
It comes and goes.
Not sure why or how.
But I must stop this.
It has a name.
But not deserving.
This infectious disease.
It's around me, deep within me.
I found a way to destroy.
This infectious disease.
The Blood of the lamb.
Jesus Christ.

Answer 1

The Believer’s Freedom from Sin’s Domination

6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? 6:2 Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 6:3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 6:4 Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.1

6:5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.2 6:6 We know that3 our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us,4 so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 6:7 (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)5

6:8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 6:9 We know6 that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die7 again; death no longer has mastery over him. 6:10 For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God. 6:11 So you too consider yourselves8 dead to sin, but9 alive to God in Christ Jesus.

6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires, 6:13 and do not present your members to sin as instruments10 to be used for unrighteousness,11 but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments12 to be used for righteousness. 6:14 For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

The Believer’s Enslavement to God’s Righteousness

6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not! 6:16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves13 as obedient slaves,14 you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness?15 6:17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed16 from the heart that pattern17 of teaching you were entrusted to, 6:18 and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness. 6:19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.)18 For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. 6:20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.

6:21 So what benefit19 did you then reap20 from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death. 6:22 But now, freed21 from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit22 leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life. 6:23 For the payoff23 of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

May God Bless you!!!

Answer 2

well, your poem isnt very kind, or good for that matter. I do have a good one though (and its real)


You never can tell when you send a word
Like an arrow shot from a bow
By an archer blind, be it cruel or kind,
Just where it may chance to go.
It may pierce the breast of your dearest friend,
Tipped with its poison or balm,
To a stranger's heart in life's great mart
It may carry its pain or its calm.

You never can tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be,
But with every deed you are sowing a seed,
Though the harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In God's productive soil;
You may not know, but the tree shall grow
With shelter for those who toil.

You can never tell what your thoughts will do
In bringing you hate or love,
For thoughts are things, and their airy wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe,
Each thing must create its kind,
And they speed over the track to bring you back
Whatever went out from your mind.

Answer 3

Ode to Selene
©2006

To the queen of the shiny night orb
To the loving patroness of the owl, bat, and wolf
To that goddess with the four enchanting faces
To she whose full beauty drives men mad
To this passionate woman, I pledge my eternal love
For you pull at my heart like you do the tides
I so want to catch you, my dear,
But you insist on being ever so playful
Appearing, disappearing, then reappearing again
This only makes my desire for you wax more and more
I hope one night you will become my lady
Yours truly,
Sol

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Answer 5

Imperial Adam

Imperial Adam, naked in the dew,
Felt his brown flanks and found the rib was gone.
Puzzled he turned and saw where, two and two,
The mighty spoor of Jahweh marked the lawn.

The he remembered through mysterious sleep
The surgeon fingers probing at the bone,
The voice so far away, so rich and deep:
"It is not good for him to live alone."

Turning once more he found Man's counterpart
In tender parody breathing at his side.
He knew her at first sight, he knew by heart
Her allegory of sense unsatisfied.

The pawpaw drooped its golden breasts above
Less generous than the honey of her flesh;
The innocent sunlight showed the place of love;
The dew on its dark hairs winked crisp and fresh.

This plump gourd severed from his virile root,
She promised on the turf of Paradise
Delicious pulp the forbidden fruit;
Sly as the snake she loosed her sinuous thighs,

And waking, smiled up at him from the grass;
Her breasts rose softly and he heard her sigh-
From all the beasts whose pleasant task it was
In Eden to increase and multiply

Adam had learned the jolly deed of kind:
He took her in his arms there and then,
Like the clean beasts, embracing from behind,
Began in joy to found the breed of men.

Then from the spurt of seed within her broke
Her terrible and triumphant female cry,
Split upward by the sexual lightning stroke.
It was the beasts whonow stood watching by:

The gravid elephant, the calving hind,
The breeding *****, the she-ape big with young
Were the first gentle midwives of mankind;
The teeming lioness rasped her with her tongue;

The proud vicuna nuzzled her as she slept
Lax on the grass; and Adam was watching too
Saw how her dumb breasts at their ripening wept,
The great pod of her belly swelled and grew,

And saw its water break, and saw, in fear,
Its quaking muscles in the act of birth,
Between her legs a pigmy face appear,
And the first murderer lay upon the earth

AD Hope

I'm a Christian but I just felt like being contrary.

But isn't it great how this poem marked the end of the Victorian Age of British Literature and the coming of Modernism? Gotta love Thomas Hardy.
