“This is My Horror Poem”

(I’m not a horror girl)

To the people who love blood and guts.

I think you’re crazy– maybe a little bit nuts!

Horror this and horror that…

what have you done — killed the cat?

A sweet little furry, purring with delight…

If you did, that must’ve been a gruesome sight.

I love people who don’t kill,

but you, dear people, might need a chill pill.

With all you read and watch on TV,

Do you wear black and red for all to see?

An ax, a knife, and maybe a poker stick–

Just a few tools for your “killing trick.”

But with the love God placed in my heart,

I can’t write those things — not even a part.

God has blessed me with love and grace

And to lead others towards His loving embrace.

So while people like you may have their, fun,

you won’t catch me — as I will certainly run.

Until that time I will write about my love and grace.

I’ll spread God’s love all over the place.

So, for now I’ll have to end this rhyme.

Love in my heart is calling me, and that’s just fine.

Still, I’ll have fun praying for you,

Then one day you’ll love, my God too.
