No, this is not a spread for your toast or bagel! Poetry Jam is a new feature in our monthly Windows church newsletter!
Do you like to write? Are you a poet? Will you share your verse with us, your church family?
If so, please send your submission to the attention of Sally Vaughn in the church office or you may bring it to church and drop in the mail slot with a notation to Sally. We look forward to reading your work!
In case you missed it last month, here is the delightful and spiritual poem written by young Kai Burton, a member of our middle school Youth Group and Sunday School:
What am I
I am a rare dog with spots
Also with a patch on my right eye and left ear.
I am the snuggle in my special stuffed animal George.
I am the film in my camera,
Not to mention the brightest flash of all.
I put the spin in my CD.
I give reason to the fashion tips,
In the pages of magazines.
I am the paint, the canvas, the brush and the pallet.
I am the reason for the autumn winds and the colorful leaves.
I am the warm ocean city waves,
And the most amazing funnel cake.
I am the amazing smells that fill the city of Philadelphia.
I am Kai Burton.
