God Says Yes To Me

This poem--I don't believe in god, but there's something about it that just makes me feel like dancing.


God Says Yes To Me
Kaylin Haught

I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

Ohhhh, every time I see that poem I am delighted. Everything about it is just so delightful *_*

I got back into poetry a couple of years ago and there is very little else that makes me so happy as to find another That Poem. Here is one that I am particularly fond of, that makes its way onto my profile with tremendous regularity :) The second verse in particular makes me sigh so, so very much.

Poetry can be dangerous, depth and
direction unknown, full of
undertow and truth, muddied by
a past further up current.

But here I am wading out with
cupped hands, chasing flashes of sun-
light, trying to capture bubbles, look-
ing for a rainbow I can write down.

looking for a rainbow I can write down, oh, yes yes yes, that is perfect and exactly what it's like, both to write and read.
