A Sinner’s Prayer (Free verse) by Dovina

O Thou who made with pitfalls The world I wander in Would surely not Impute my fall to sin Or require sorrowful contrition For mistakes made so enticing. No loving God would sit so smug, Take pleasure in my groveling. I conclude it must be in Your will Not to hear my sorrowful calls But to watch a learner navigate Pitfalls with a few less falls

Howdy, D. Nice beat here. A serious answer to your question of why I left: I think my poetry sucks. No kidding. I'm just not measuring up to what I expect of myself. And now back to our regularly scheduled silliness:

I left because, in high school, I didn't get the safety program that went:

Bill got mixed up with the wrong internet crowd.
He wants to try poetry.

Careful, Bill, it's difficult.

No, Bill, you can't spondee! You'll hurt yourself!

Too bad for Bill.

No, I get the one: Bill wants to try Rachmaninoff.
Ok. I didn't get that one, but I did get the one that goes:

Bill wants to try Air-traffic-control.

Well, you can see where that led to.
