A short poem comparing writing poetry to the Catholic practice of Confession.

I have a confession;

It may not be a sin,

but nonetheless,

I bare my soul,

here within.

I’ve started writing…

I’ve…well…

Poetry.

No rhyme or reason,

I know no forms,

But pen and paper,

here it goes.

Forgive me Father, I confess,

my words and thoughts

are here to see -

no longer hidden

in prayer or me.
