Hello babes!!!!
It’s been a minute. Sorry. I’m taking a creative writing class and learning so much! I’ve been writing lots of stuff, but not all of it is explicitly Jesus Poetry™ so I feel like it doesn’t work with the vibes of this page.
The hilarious thing, though, is that most of it actually does tie back to the gospel in some way, so maybe I’ll share more. We’ll see. I did recently write this one though and loved it so I want to share it with you!
Enjoy :)
SYNTAX
My dad is succinct.

Goofy car today?
Goofy daughter?
A bowl of popcorn says
as much as
a whole essay.My mom favors stream of consciousness, complete with flowery, long, complex sentences. I’m so grateful for you all!!! The Lord has blessed me with such a beautiful family. It’s hard not being with you all but in my scripture study today I learned that the gospel is JOY!!!!!!!!!!! Lots of exclamation points. Lots and LOTS of love. Big paragraphs full of tangents and anecdotes and various heart emojis. She gets us - she’s meandered with us through the mazes of our minds and she knows exactly what to say to soothe our sunburned souls.
Hurrah for Israel!!!What sentence structure does my Savior prefer?
What syntax does he use to communicate his love?
He uses the crinkly smile eyes of a stranger
or a street full of green lights.
The dimpled pink petals of a glass cherry blossom act as a conjunction,
joining the dappled sunlight to the carpet beneath my feet.
Telling me with each glimmer that I am seen by Him.
My heart beats with a million exclamation points
each time I sing His song of redeeming love.
He whispers in my ear, soft and sweet,
with verses written long ago.Each word, whether sung or unsung,
simple or compound,
carries the connotation:
“You are mine”
Love you. Let me know if you need anything. Seriously.
Live laugh love
