Poetry Month

Before the Holy Spirit moved us in a different direction for the Children’s Message on Sunday morning, we were going to talk about poetry.  April is National Poetry Month. I’ve had a love of poetry and have been writing it since I was a child. I was planning to work with the kids on ‘mad libs’ poem using the prompt below.  I thought you might enjoy this little exercise as part of your devotions this week.

First, choose your topic from these offerings. This will be the subject of each line: God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Church.  Second, complete the similes below.  Let loose, you’ll be amazed at what you can come up with.
