There can be something to plucking a lily and put it in your hair. Amy Lowell majestically described this in her poem Grotesque. She turned something very common into something very special.

In this poem, he takes the time to think about his religion. Life has its flaws. It has its ups and downs. I covered her with newspaper and left her on the grass Looking every inch a lady and completely upper-class, In a powder-blue ensemble with her hair all freshly done, And across her chest, another chest, from page three of The Sun. And that is how the Ministry was created overnight. And now it's up to you, my friends, to see you do it right. Pray, have no fear, the task is not as hard as it may sound For inside every Englishman, good English rhymes abound, And each of you has, at some time, I'm sure as haven't we all?

Inscribed a simple stanza on some by-gone wash-house wall. So off you go and don't forget, just like the old graffiti Keep it short, and keep it snappy, keep it fruity, keep it meaty.

Different writers have certainly accompanied me on my own faith journey. My own poetry often navigates subjects like life as a Christian woman, attitudes towards my body and its relationship to God, experiences of church, and struggles of faith. As I get a stronger sense my calling, I've begun to think about how this calling can manifest in my creative writing as well as in a more traditional ministry. Perhaps my words can reach a Christian out there who I'll never meet, who will feel validated by seeing one of their frustrations, long suppressed, in print.

Perhaps my words will give a Christian girl confidence, in some way, to vocalize her own words—words that are not always pretty and pleasing, words that may be raw or frustrated or doubtful, words that need to be said and heard. Of course, not all my poems are fit for other people to read.

There are some poems that I write that I want to keep for myself—or are simply not good enough for anyone but me to see. Sometimes writing these poems, as I mentioned earlier, is a form of prayer.
