Listening

.
The 
Man
Prophet
Elijah
Man of God listend
God spoke to him tells what to do
Go east_ hide by Cherith Brook_ east where enters Jordan 
Drink from brook, eat what ravens bring you,for I have told them to feed you_he did what God said




(with this there is not way to make the line of 21 syllables fit but I wanted to finish the 
story)

Good finish. I think all forms might survive a little license. Love, Dave

Sara, YOu should just put the ending underneath and tell that it was supposed to be on only one line. (you didn't finish the last little part, right?) Hey, I am always happy to see you here at Soup too. And yes, Dale was my stepbrother run over by a drunk driver right before graduating law school. Many years ago that was. I met him when I was 8 and he was 12. LUv, Andrea

An inspiring Biblical story, Sara. It shows what can be accomplished when we learn to "listen." Love, Carolyn

Date: 1/5/2011 10:30 AM Hello Sara, hope you are feeling better. Thanks for your comment on my poem Poetry and Mysticism. I have no idea how I wrote that poem, the words just flowed. I am sure that when we get to heaven our souls will be glad. Thank you for this beautiful story. May God bless you. Jancarl

A good retelling of a famous story found in the Old Testament (aka Holy Scriptures)
