Today’s prompt for Writer’s Digest Poetic Asides poem-a-day challenge is to write a poem of longing, a person longing for someone, a cat longing to get out, longing for love. The formatting didn’t work well on the Poetic Asides blog; I’m having some trouble getting it right here too, but at least it’s close enough.
“Longing”
Where is God?
I ask I scream
I wonder I despair
I sigh I think
I bellow I snivel
I mourn I pine
I want to believe.
Oh Lord, I want to believe.
My eye falls on the good book.
I open it.
I look.
