Beautiful poem, "God Says Yes to Me"

8/12/2015

 
Serendipitously, as I prepared for the closing meeting of The Artist's Way Practice Group this summer, I came across this affirming and beautifully crafted Kaylin Haught poem on page 6 of In the Palm of Your Hand by Steve Kowit (2007).

"God Says Yes to Me"
I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I dont paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

-- Kaylin Haught
