One of my favorite spiritual poems.
"Unless ye must,
Bruise not the serpent in the dust,
How much less wound a man.
And if ye can,
No ant should ye alarm,
Much less a brother harm."
‘Abdu’l-Baha Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha

At the beginning of 2019, I set the goal to write 200 poems dedicated to the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab by October 29. So far, I have completed 168 and I need to complete 32 by the 29th. While I am no expert in writing spiritual, mystic, or religious poetry, I have learned a few things that could help in writing these types of poems.
1. Research the events surrounding the poem. Even if you don't use most of the research it will give you a deeper understanding of the cultural and the setting.
2. Find appropriate scriptures to inspire your poem. You don't have to use the scriptures if you don't want to. However, have the scriptural inspiration will assist in giving deeper meaning to the poem.
3. Pray and meditate before beginning the poem. Keep a pen and paper beside you while you meditate to write down any words or phrases that could be used in the poem.
4. If you think of a title that you might want to use, use it as a working title. Remember, you can always change the title when the poem is finished.
5. Don't stress! Even if you have a deadline to finish the poem, don't stress over it. If you find yourself stressing, take a break. Listen to uplifting music. Go for a walk. Get yourself a cup of your favorite hot or cold beverage.
6. Rewriting. I'm not qualified to give advice on rewriting, because when I do rewrite a poem I make so many changes that its a different poem.
Does anyone have any thoughts on writing mystic, spiritual, or religious poetry? Do you have any that you would like to submit to this newsletter?

Zeke  writes: The message in this writing is so very true. There really is only one race. Unfortunately too many believe otherwise.

bob county writes: Dt.24:16 states the children shall not be punished for their father's sin.
The Apostle Paul states the all have fallen in Adam and all have been saved in Jesus.
Where is the individual responsibility for sin?
If an innocent man is punished for another man's crime is that just?
People can believe anything. Why is one faith better or more true than another?
Colossians 3:22 states, "Slaves obey your earthly masters."
Is slavery good? Is faith without question slavery?
Just curious. Bob County :)
