“Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?” — John 7:51
people are
quick to judge
then often can’t
even budge
when they hear
facts that tell
another
tale. Lord, quell
my judgment
change my mind
let me be
open, kind.
This year for the A-to-Z challenge, I’m challenging myself to write a Cethramtu Rannaigechta Moire every day. I can’t pronounce it, but I can tell you that it’s an Irish poetic form that requires 3 syllable lines in quatrains. The second and fourth lines rhyme.
Additionally, I’ve been collecting questions for a few years — specifically questions from the Bible. I have so many questions.
Turns out the Bible is full of questions.
So, I’m using questions from the Gospel of John for this challenge.

Excellent poem, we should all strive for kindness.

Sally this describes so many – we get so attached to our opinions and even when faced with solid facts we cling to them. We really are a “stiff-necked people”!
What a beautiful little poem. It’s like a prayer.
Amen to this, Sally! Beautifully written! 💞
I don’t know if I could write to a form or not. I will have to try it when this month is over.
