Friday Poetry Blogging

Still feeling non-interactive, but I do want to start this up again. It's a poem that I feel like I ought to not like because it's... I dunno, I almost want to say 'too happy.' But I do like it, I think because it's such a different god than the god of my scary high school, and I keep coming back to read it. So here it is.

God Says Yes To Me

I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

I can't remember where I first read this poem, but I loved it then and I love it now!
