P.S. Awtry Poet Rhyme

What Did God Do On the Seventh Day

What did God do on the Seventh Day?

I think He woke them up, Adam and Eve,
“Hey, grab breakfast off a tree and let’s leave!
Come on, sleepy heads there’s no work today,
but there’s plenty to see and games to play!”

They raced camels through multicolored sands!
It was wonderful with God’s travel plans!
They surfed and swam from far away beaches.
They roamed much farther than my mind reaches!

They had a great time laughing and chatting,
all harmony without any spatting.
They laughed at Baboon standing on his head
and harder still at something Dodo said.

They watched the sunset from God’s favorite place,
Then lay on their backs and stared into space.
When they were done, gazing up at the stars,
God whispered, “Let’s visit Venus and Mars!”

Nothing was impossible!  It was great!
But they were human, so when it got late,
God the Father got them home and in bed.
He tucked them each in and kissed each forehead.

Exhausted, there was no need to count sheep.
Adam and Eve’s sleep was dreamless and deep.
As God returned to his home in the sky,
He thought, “Next weekend I’ll teach them to fly.”

Inspired by my own dad and how happily he took us on vacations.


Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

Cindi Rockwell February 15, 2019 at 4:44 PM I love this! My favorite way to see God is as a father, perhaps because mine died when I was a toddler. The tucking into bed and kissing good night made me misty-eyed. GREAT job! ~Cindi~ P.S. Awtry February 15, 2019 at 5:51 PM Thank you so much Cindi! I enjoyed writing this, and am so pleased you enjoyed it as I am a fan of your poetry :)

Gershon Wolf January 7, 2019 at 1:22 PM How this didn't place in the contest is simply beyond me, but you never know... At any rate, what a marvelous romp of a write. Thoroughly enjoyable. :) gw P.S. Awtry January 7, 2019 at 2:02 PM thank you so much. This one was such fun to write!

Andrew Fairchild November 30, 2018 at 3:09 PM Thanks for this! Reminded me of when my dad took us to the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. P.S. Awtry November 30, 2018 at 3:39 PM Thank you!!! So glad you liked it :)

Andrea Dietrich November 10, 2018 at 6:40 PM this was SO unique, P.S!!! I saw many good ones that did not make the winner list. i came searching to see if you had your own 8 x 8 but I think you don't care what kind of pattern of rhyme we use. I think it is really neat how your contest is filling so fast. It's a great idea. P.S. Awtry November 11, 2018 at 8:58 AM Thank you Andrea :) P.S. Awtry November 11, 2018 at 8:58 AM And yes you were right any rhyme is fine :)

Caren Krutsinger October 28, 2018 at 11:15 PM I loved this poem, and especially this part: " They raced camels through multicolored sands! It was wonderful with God’s travel plans! They surfed and swam from far away beaches. They roamed much farther than my mind reaches!" The ending really got me. I loved the optimism. P.S.
