Cheap Thrills (Free verse) by Owner of the Sky

I would like to meet God. Where do I get a priority number? Is the line going to be long? I'd hate to think, I'd have to wait for hours. But then again, I do that For a roller coaster ride. When I have my conversation with Him, Will it only last two minutes? Is God A cheap thrill?

Yes, your comment was full of idiocy and your rebuttal was also silly. Every writer who is a writer and struggles with writing knows that you must "show" and not tell. It is the images, the metaphors, etc. that transcend the work from a mere report on an observation into something resembling art. Instead of getting your shorts in a mess, take a look at the poem and see what you can do with it. Find where you can replace telling with images. Like I said, it is a nice idea, but a poor attempt at communicating it.
