Notes About The Poem

Child Sings a Hymn

Why for push and pull,
akin to a bull
just raging away
by night and by day?

Illusions confound
and its dark forms hound
but our joyous soul
sways not from its goal.

Slow down now, slow down 
or in swamplands drown,
blown away as dust
by lust thrust unjust.

Oh monk, hush that blush
that bliss throbs may gush,
bursting forth as joy,
without thought form ploy.

That soul’s light not dim,
sing to God a hymn,
doing what is right,
transforming as light.

Emile Pinet January 31, 2023 at 11:17 AM Congratulations Unseeking! Your poem "Child sings a hymn", has earned you a distinguished place in my “Lipogram” poetry contest. I was very strict; and yet, your poem earned a place on the winners list my friend, Emile. Unseeking Seeker January 31, 2023 at 4:53 PM Thank you, Emile! I know how difficult it is to host & judge contests. It was challenging to compose a poem like this because I more or less write spontaneously. Thank you for the recognition. I’m happy the message I wished to convey is out there.
