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

Yesss. So funny and vicious, I love it. Also because, oh, hey, there are indeed funny poems of literary merit (having interned for one of the more pretentious literary magazines around, I may be a little tired of both people who don't like poetry because it's boring, and people who write poetry without wit).

I bought a copy of her collection 'Maiden Speech' for a friend and was sorely tempted to keep it for myself. Being witty is ALL ABOUT using words well, and she does it brilliantly.
