Down

.
A 
Man
Jonah
By name ran
From God by going
Down_ to Joppa
Went Down_in a boat to run away from God paid the
Fare went down in the hull and went to sleep each step brought him down and away from God

I want to thank you for all your feedback. I'm glad you like my poems. I've been writing them all of my life. I'm 53 now. I was published on another website years ago. I had to buy the books. I gave them to my son. My life, my kids, grandkids, parents, grandparents, music, my house, nature and God inspires my work. I like your poems too. June Ellen
