Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Wish I Could

Wish I could write
something to your liking -- 
but poetry writes itself

would like to author
a book verse, to become
staple on every book
shelf

but poetry writes itself

would like to go before
God some day~ say
look at all I have done!
Only to hear God reply:
Poetry won My Son….

Victor Buhagiar June 2, 2026 at 11:09 PM I agree with you. I often write a poem with an idea in mind but end up with a different idea. Joseph P. DiMino June 3, 2026 at 8:21 AM Ain't that the truth! I don't even look for a theme to begin with, beyond something vaguely interesting to me...I mostly just start writing till the Muse takes over. Thank you, Victor. Have a great day!

Sara Kendrick June 2, 2026 at 9:07 AM Creative one, Joe. I can say that when I get to Heaven, it will be only because of what Jesus Christ the Son of God did for me on Calvary and in His rising. Sara K. Joseph P. DiMino June 2, 2026 at 1:23 PM You still need to behave yourself:)) Thank you, Sara.
