happiest in midst of tumult, sedate,

Broken Vessel

April 16, 2017 Leopoldo Seguel

By Sam Louie, MA, LMHC

Broken,
fallen,
years clinging to worthless idols,
shrouded in shame
publicly disgraced,
privately humiliated,
forgotten by all,
yet God stays committed,
even in my misery.

An Orange with Two Tiny Thumbs

NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month, is an annual project in which participating poets attempt to write a poem a day for the month of April. (From the NaPoWriMo web page)

Since we are posting this page in the middle of April, we are not asking poets to write a poem a day for the month of April. Instead write just one poem in April and send it to us to post on this page.We will leave them up through the summer.
