Ezzelle Leal Poet Free verse

Raspberry Jam

Something red, 

Something sweet,

Something i'd wanna eat

Something that would help when im feeling down

I'd spread it on toast,

then take a bite

and when im done, 

I'll spit it up

I did this because I do not like it

However, 

I can dream I do.

Convince its true

No matter how much I dream

But reality its just cruel 

I do not like what I fantasize 

My tongue rejects

But my eyes say otherwise.

Danny Derden June 22, 2025 at 7:20 AM This poem powerfully captures the frustration of unfulfilled desires and the struggle between idealized hopes and harsh reality. It beautifully illustrates the pain of wanting to love something your true self rejects. Lessons we all need to learn.

I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
