Pick And Choose Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

Picking and choosing a poetic topic
is never easy, nor is it light and breezy.
Poets are free to basically see their own
special world filtered through rose colored glasses.

Popular poetry can be about love and romance,
and death and taxes. Sharpens poetic axes to grind
away daily. Such poetry seeks to inspire,
and sometimes tire its chosen audience.

Some poetry is spiritual in nature and is
a lasting tribute to Jesus Christ, our
blessed savior. Other poetry is plainly
sexual in nature. Sexual poetry holds
no appeal to yours truly.

Wishing they would choose less adult themed
based poetry. Is a favorite hope for me.

Poetry about Jesus Christ is a more familiar
topic which I adore. My heart remains an opened door.

Don't submit poetry about sex, politics, or religion
to Senior Center writing groups is a good rule indeed
Those controversial topics can divide a friendly group
as quickly as you please.

The topics that are humorous are very nice. Try to keep your
poetic jokes clean, and not obscene. Think about
younger eyes filtering through your topical poetry.
And you will have fulfilled your purpose in life.
Thank you, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

For assisting me in selecting topics for my
poetry. Wheather it is religious or secular
in nature. I owe my poetic gifts to you!
Thanking for seeing me through my pitfalls in life-
Jesus Christ!
