Notes About The Poem

This is a Hiaku with alliteration. A play on words, and purposeful mispelling (for the Kingdom) of words for effect. 

Phorgiving a Pharisee

Like Simon and me
Phorgiving a Pharisee
Is done Jesus-ly
Like Isaiah, we
Say here I am Lord send me
With Gospel decree
Phorgiving someone
Is the loving thing to do
Convocation-ly
It is the PSabbath
We will pray and sing psalm psongs
Rightly and greatly
Lord we praise You now
Holy, holy, holy is
Lord God Almighty
Phorgive us our
Pharisaical, sinful
Heart attitudes towards You
Help us to be more
Like Jesus, Who gave His life
Fulfilling God’s law
Even so come quick
-ly, we pray as the psalmist
Awake, Arise Lord
So phorgive us Lord
Repent unrepentant we
Graciously Jesus

Your poem is a joyful, reverent celebration of grace and transformation—playful in form yet profound in message. The “ph” wordplay adds charm and depth. Keep praising boldly and creatively!
