Topic: WHISPER (12/08/22)
In the middle of the night,
When my future is not looking bright,
I can see what the problem is all about
The noise of the world is drowning God out
For God doesn’t shout,

He whispers


To sharpen my ear to hear His voice
I really have but one single choice
To listen to Him, there is no doubt
All the world’s clamor I must tune out,
For God doesn’t shout

He whispers.


Spending time alone with my Friend
A time so sweet I hate for it to end

It sharpens my ear,
For His direction is clear
and His presence so dear
I have nothing to fear,

But I must listen so carefully
Or I may miss out
For God doesn’t shout

He whispers

He speaks through His Word
He speaks through His Spirit
He’s speaking now
Can you hear it?

God speaks to us
There is no doubt
But God doesn’t shout

He whispers

I love it. A great way to portray how God speaks. Right on topic. Good job

I truly enjoyed this. Poetry isn't my strong suit but this sounded beautiful to be. I think the repetition worked great, it was on topic, and had a wonderful message.

I loved your refrain and the way it speaks in contrast to how God speaks. I loved the first two verses and how they used the rhythm and rhyme of the English language. You kind of broke the pattern later in the poem, so it is more of a free verse poem. I am not an expert in poems, but you may want to look into a type of poem with rules called "roundelay" and adjust the poem to fit it. It's hard to follow poem rules, but you may learn more of what you like.
