I like art, making it especially. Now, I’m not much one for drawing and painting and all that stuff, as I don’t have any talent in it. But I do like to write and make music. It’s so wonderful to play a piano or sing or rhyme or do a million different things and record it. And it’s great to write poems and stories. I wish I did more of it. I always get stuck between the idea and the start of writing. For some reason, I have trouble making that jump, though I’m working on it. Journaling helps, as it gives you practice in organizing your thoughts into coherrent sentences. And blogging helps too, as jumbled and crazy as this one may be.

Anyway, here’s a poem I wrote today. Its stanzas are haikus.

Sky High

A PR Campaign:
So much heaven on their minds.
“Get the big reward!”

New advertisements,
message blankets the airwaves,
yells, “The King is here!”

“Believe for freedom!”
Sin scrubbed from perm’nent records.
All mankind set free.

So they purported.
And the price to see truth (death)
seemed just about right.

Many paid their souls
to get in on the ground floor.
Heaven is sky high.

I like the poem and I think there is enough content there for some actual analyzing. Kind of cool.

Hope you enjoyed it!
