Poetry Friday: The Problem of Good.
It's Thursday night so we all know that mean's it's time for Poetry Friday. This week's festival of free verse, carnival of couplets, and symposium of sonnets is being held at Bookseed Studio.
I went through about 1.3 million drafts or so of this poem before I got this far. I was driving my family crazy with all the revisions. Here is what I came up with ...
The Problem of Good.
I tried feeling good
But ...
Feeling good fades.
I tried being good
But ...
Being good is impossible
I tried doing good
Doing good is filling a leaky bucket
One exhausting drop at a time
Then I remembered
God is good.
I can ...
Feel His Goodness
Be His Goodness
Do His Goodness
And...
That's not bad.
