Okay, this is just something I came up with for the poems that we had to write. I know that it isn't any good and I'm not religious, but it is something for class. Note the number of words per line.
I lay in my bed with the blankets covering me.
I remember the preacher speaking of words God said.
But does the preacher lie? God spoke to
Me late that night. He told me
Not to breathe. For I was
to lead. I could not
Believe what I heard.
For then I
Led my
People.
I like the late night setting of the poem in which you're mulling over the things you heard from the preacher and wondering how they apply to your life. But I'm a bit confused about what the preacher said and what God said here. Some specific details might help to clarify and make the moment more vivid. It could be a challenge to figure out how to add more detail and still keep the form.
