Topic: MIX (10/22/15)
Not long ago, there was a time

And I am so glad it was not a crime

When I could not write a single rhyme

Then, God began to fill my clueless mind


Dreams and visions began to abound

My wondering thoughts were out of bounds

Conversations in my head went round and round

Finally, I was able to write my thoughts down


Although my words are sometimes a mix

And my script may need a major re-mix

I try to blend my thoughts into an intermix

And God always comes through when I'm in a fix


Oh Lord, please never leave me

Because I really do need thee

To jot down the words YOU have given to me

So others will know, it is truly YOUR repartee


So, when my words are in a jumble

I must always remain; quite humble

Because my poem might still crumble

Unless God mends the possible fumble


So, from now on God can do all my mixing and my fixing

All of my blending and my tending

He can take all of my messy mending

And oh, how I hope He will bless my ending!

I can relate to your poem, sometimes making a mess of my writing. I have learned a lot here on FaithWriters though.
I don't write much poetry but I like to read the rhyming poetry best. Rhyming all 4 lines in each stanza must be hard. Good job.
One suggestion I have for the 1st line in the last stanza - So, God can do all my mixing and fixing. I think leaving out some of the words helps the rhythm and still gives the impression of 'from now on'. But I am not well learned in poetry so not sure. Blessings, LaVonne
