Okay, so I've been on a bit of a poetry kick for the past few days...I just wrote a poem for my other book(the one I'm almost done with) last night, and I thought I'd post it now. I'll post the other form of "Oh Rise up and Come" eventually...
The Wanderer's Plea
Oh, wary is the way
I walk this day
Oh, guard my steps
That my life may not end
Oh, while in dark I walk
Keep my sword sharp
Oh, while I run
Your will always be done
When enemies assail
May I prevail
Though I am weak
Your strength, it is complete
My King, make me stronger
As I wander
So that I might
Ever uphold Your light
Like it? Pray, tell!
Write On!!!

About Me
- Shelby Marie
- My name is Shelby Marie. I am first and foremost a believer in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and I just want to put it out there that I probably wouldn't be alive right now if it weren't for Him. I am also a teen writer. I have one completed novel, which is in the midst of the editing process, a trilogy in progress, and another standalone novel in progress, amongst millions of scraps of poetry. My first inspiration to write was The Door Within Trilogy...if you haven't read it, you should! It's an amazing story! And you never know, something like that might inspire you too.

That was sooo awesome, Shelby! It kept me nearly entranced during the whole thing. You should be proud of your amazing writing talent. God has trully blessed you with a gift for poetry writing. I am so glad that you do it all to the glory of Him.

That was cool!
That was pretty good. Have you looked into publication options for your work?
The best poetry I write is free verse. I don't know if consider that cheating!
awesome! i like the title!
:)Ian(:
Wow, that is awesome!
I hoped I mentioned how awesome the poem was:)
It was pretty cool.
Aw gee that was AWESOME!
Wow, that was great, shelby!
Jamin-all I can write is free verse. I stink at ryming, and limericks and such are WAAAY outta my league! I don't know if its cheating, but free verse still sounds pretty cool!
Kaili, if you need help at rhyming then do a Google search for an online rhyming dictionary. That's what I use when I cannot come up with good rhymes. Yes, I am sneaky;)
Shelby, that poem, if I have not said before, was truly beautiful. I am so excited about how God is working through you to write inspiring poetry. God guides out steps and really helps us when we need it. Never alone! You rock, girl!
Jamin, yes, she should definitely look into publishing her poems. They are really awesome. I write poems, too, sometimes.
Ash, I totally agree with you! Her poetry is off the hook! Shall I call you Ash or She-who-has-commented-first? :)
Erm.........who is Bob?
Wow, long comment.
Sapphira
Y'all are so awesome! I'm really glad you liked it...it was just a little something that popped into my head...
Hey Shelby! That was a really good poem, and I look forward to more of your poetry!

Oh, I just love your poetry! Very good indeed!
Thanks Sapphira!
Rhyming dictionary? Yessss...I can see it now...jk
~Araken~
Sapphira--thank you so very much for your compliments--you and the others make me want to keep up with my poetry. And also...I have no idea who bob is...
Jamin--I have indeed thought about looking into publishing my poetry...haven't looked into it yet, however.
As for your free verse, I admire you for that, because I cannot write free verse at all! My poetry has to have some sort of rhyme or refrain somewhere! I would much enjoy seeing some of your poetry sometime.
Araken--I agree. Rhyming dictionary? I did not know there was such a thing! It sounds awesome!
Thanks for commenting,
Write On!!!

I like your poem, Shelby Marie. If you want to compare works, read "Calvary" on my blog, http:threeswans.blogspot.com A compilation of Christian bloggers' poems would be a thing worth reading!
That was awesome!!! Again Another great poem.
She walks in light
and wields a weapon of ink
The words flow freely
cascading down
billowing forth
brimming over
Her heart expressed
in curves and forms
Glimpses are all we see
peeking out
shining through
yielding under
Mom! You wrote me a poem!! Aw, thank you soooo much, it was beautiful!
