I've consumed enough media to know what a love poem should sound like- maybe. 

I Need A Kitchen (You Are Not My Other Half)

I name my poems like Sufjan Stevens names his songs:  long-windedly. 

My Thesaurus is Failing Me in Finding a More Evocative Word than Encouragement

The bridging of this gap is my favorite part of the gospel.  Isaiah 44:22-23

How Deep, How Dead

Growing up in a more traditional church leads to more than one poem getting inspired by an old hymn.

Be Thou My Vision

An attempt at understanding an infinite God.

If Creation Is Your Self-Portrait

I'm convinced that wanting very badly to say something but not knowing how to say it is a universal human frustration.

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing "I Love You"

Metrically, the phrase "Sledgehammer Spirit" is a dactyl followed by a trochee.

Sledgehammer Spirit

According to my knowledge of women in poetry, you don't really have any street cred until you've written about the patriarchy. 

Most Likely the Patriarchy's Fault

One of the nicest things is finding that someone else has felt something that you're feeling and has written about it in a way that helps you express yourself.
This is why I love poetry.
