He has set me in places like the dead of long AGO. He has hedged me in so that I cannot get OUT; He has made my chain heavy. even when i cry and SHOUT, He shuts out my prayer." {Lamentations 3:5-8} Guess you can tell why i have those words in CAPS, and even though this is the New KJV, I just thought it was pretty cool how these words ryhme, whether it was done intentionally or just by accident? Even verse 12 does also but it was a bit too far down to continue. Another reason i chose this passage was simply because i have also sometimes felt like this before when it was like God chastising me for sin(s) i had committed, even though i no doubt deserved it. And this also sounds very similar to King David's experiences even though this was Jeremiah speaking here.

Poetry speaks to the heart. That's why its so cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why its so cool. Yes, it does. And it is definitely cool, imo. God graciously gave me the gift of writing poetry back when I was age 11. (I did it on and off over the years. While raising a family, I was usually too busy.) The Lord got me back into it full swing last year at Worthy through the encouragement of my brothers and sisters here. Thanks, all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But many of my own poems were probably not that good since i hardly ever got more than one response if any? But one was actually published in this annual poetry book which i can't recall the name of. The poem was called "Ye Old Dreams(King's Forest)", but don't really remember all of it now. Anyway i still think about those days sometimes and why i suddenly just lost that desire to write anymore? I think maybe my own problem was not taking God's word seriously enough and spending a bit too much time thinking about ideas for poems among other things. But certainly nothing wrong with it as long as you keep your priorities straight, and everything in moderation is one of the wisest words of advice i have ever gotten.
