God says yes to me

It seems of late anything i try to write be it an article, short story or script ends up being a poem. as such, I'll just flow with it. i have a lot of unfinished pieces and it gets boring to try and finish them. so in such times i read my other finished pieces and those by others that made an impact on me.

This following piece is one of my all times favorite poem. its tittle is "God says yes to me" and its by Kaylin Haught


And no i am still not religious. its simply the simplicity of the poem. if you will notice it is about the freedom of contemporary poetry writing...what do you notice about her God?



I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
And she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
And she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
And she said honey,
She calls me that sometimes
She said you can do just exactly
What you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don’t paragraph
My letters
Sweet cakes, God said
Who knows where she picked that up
What am telling you is
Yes Yes  Yes
