Mark J. Halliday Poet Dizain

Notes About The Poem

For contest.

Heaven Or Hell

I often think about “Heaven”.
Is it an idea or a place?
Something to hope for, believe in;
Something that only comes with grace?
Somewhere to meet Him face to face?
Foolishly, some would prefer Hell;
Would rather follow he that fell.
If there should be a “Judgement Day”,
I’d rather avoid brimstone smell.
Forever’s a long time to stay.

Andrea Dietrich February 6, 2015 at 11:02 PM I doubt that many people will be seeing fire and brimstone. I believe hell is what we will have created in our mind, the hell we will live with for sins committed on earth. Hopefully heaven is what I hope it to be. Congrats for your win. Mark J. Halliday February 7, 2015 at 12:04 AM Actually, I imagine it as something like a blackhole.
