Is there not a poets' corner here?
Poetry is the Bible,
where we find
the ultimata of all facts.
So, from the bible we should draw
our poetry--in pencil tracks.
Is there not
a poets' corner
at this gracious place of love
for fellowship, for words towrd God?
??? Well,
my friends,
there damn well oughta.

Hmmmm....That is actually not too bad except for the naughty word. We will have a bit more if you please, just to test your grasp of rhyme and meter.

Pleased to meet a well-cocked ear!
I am happy here to learn with you,
because we are both students of
Christ's perfected ways.

Sir,
I have never considered the matters of meter and rhyme
very seriously. The structure of Godly Poetry is to aid
ears in appreciating KJV 1612. Rotten mores
of today have corroded the former sensibilities of the unsaved!
I think to make rules; no, I don't
I think to read books; nosir! I do not!
I only read the Bible
and this forum.
Yet with the Holy tissue
that of such thin paper
I must do more than blow a nose!
Let us now define our meter?
I owe this proposed
definition
to your spur, attesting, sir:
Meter is the holy tong
to emplace our con-so-nants
where they nearest-Him belong
__________
Let us bide well

Excellent job, friend. I am sure some of that must be considered prosaic in some universe, if not necessarily this one. But the point is the point, and the medium is the message and the message you are pointing out is that JESUS rules the earth and sky and everything in between! Congratulations. You are invited to stay for a little while until we investigate you.

Hearty thanks, sir!
I shall cherish
the fine day
when and if I am un-
"unsaved",
verse:
I'll still be trash,
for I am that.
And this fact
is understood
to be a potent impetous
to kick my butt into high gear:
Save me then, Good Lord above;
if not for your highest place;
I pray your Grace may float my soul
midway-up for a fair time
above the Dumpster dive of Hell.
________
Thank you Pastor
for your visions,
Peter

You aren't some kind of homer are you? Because most of these poet-type guys are limp-wristed jews who use fancy words to trick folks into thinking that up is down and we should feel all manner of depressing things and sodomy starts seeming like a fine idea.
The only rhymes I like are Godly hymns and Sammy Davis Jr. records...Oh how that boy could sing.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

It's either Baptist Christianity;
or it's garenteed insanity.
That's my poetic rule. Simple as that. PRAISE!
P.S. No foolish joos helped in the making of this rhyme.

Can someone point out to a mere female where in the Bible(KJV1611) it relates to Poetry?
There is plenty said about Hymns and singing Rejoice to The Lord©:

Friend, keen as I am to welcome you to our forums, I must take issue with this:

KJV 1612? What are you, some kind of a heretic?
Anyway, back when I was an unsaved cocaine addict playing in a negro jazz band, I used to have a certain fondness for blank verse, but that was just youthful unsaved whimsy.
Although I hate all
Japs, I still find haikus to
Be somewhat pleasing.
Anyway, I trust you're an admirer of the world's greatest living poet?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Hello Brother T of former, potted tempests.
That you are saved, this offers hope!
First I need to give up dope?
---
Agreed!
Rumsfeld is a great poet
of the found-poetry-lost-cause genre.
---
Also agreed, there is tolerance here
for verse of the blankety-blank genre. Good!
Confession,
I suffer Tourettes' Syndrome; it is cross of sort.
I ask your forebearance, for when I tic
the tic's in poetry;
uncaught by myself, a "naughty word"
or indelicate phrase,
to which my conscious mind is entirely blind,
slips in near that moment of posting.
See my posts above--properly chided for misspeaks.
I did not notice. It is a life-long struggle; I fail too often.
Sorry shite
Peter

When that super-homer, Haggard, busted into the news a few weeks ago,
I thought: there, his congregation, there's one lobotomize group of sheep. I -thought- they'd pillory the guy.
So I wrote an unrhymed poem about the event.
This is for those fools in that Colorado sheep pen.
I didn't know at the time of writing that they'd be rubbing Teddy up all over again. (sigh)

no, no, not really, yes.
I do have an open eye for dead Mr. Davis' style.
Similarly, I do enjoy the better class of the Negroes'

Sister, the KJV1611 is poetry: it's hardly prosaic now, is it? Poetry is the highest form of expression, as opposed to prose, which is, well, prosaic.
Of course much if not most of what is described as poetry these days is not poetry at all, but mere semi-literate scribblings by emotionally disturbed sinners. I blame the hippies and liebral so-called 'professors' for such nonsense.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Enobarbus, so right!
Most "poets" of today use poetry
as if it were a Hoover,
to suck their personal carpet bugs
and dump the bagfull on the reader.
That's not poetry. It's pooretry

The Date quite straight!
