I didn't get one written yesterday, well not a catchup poem anyway, so this morning I've done two.

April 3, write a poem with the title "The Problem With _______."

Baptists, Penticostals,
Mormans, SDA,

Assembly of God,
Church of Christ,

of God of Prophecy.

Sit in a resturuant

The first poem is why so many shun Christianity, the second is why so many cling to it.

Nice job!

Thanks Marsha,
It is fun working from the prompts and bringing in current issues that I may be wrestling with (like there really is a dead horse in the woods right behind momma's house and no way to get it out of there). I wish I could have come up with a better last stanza for the first poem though.
