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

um, hi! You don't know me but I found this link through delicious and then saw that all my lovely bandom friends were jumping on board so I will too! (& I loved the poem above and many scattered between)
so, from a collection of poems on first love junior high style:

First Touch

Halfway through the movie
at the most boring part
you slowly reach up
and sort of backwards
to rub my left shoulder
and keep on rubbing it
until the movie screen
becomes a bright blur.

"Shoulder," I think
all the way home
feeling it tingle
feeling it glow:
"I have a shoulder."

-Ralph Fletcher

Oh! That is lovely! I especially love the repetition of "feeling," I think, because it nails the intensity. ♥

PS. If there was ever a good random entry to jump in on, this one is it, right?
