The Meeting the Bar prompt at dVerse Poets Pub today is brought to us by De Jackson who wants us to write using the poetic device of enjambment (which is when thought doesn’t end at the end of a line of poetry but spills over onto the next line). Lately I’ve been writing more form poetry, but I’ve been known to write a fair amount of free verse using enjambment. So I decided to take on De’s challenge to write using hyphenated words for this short poem on forgiveness.
Not Unforgiven
Feeling un-
forgiven is what I am
I will be-
loved for all eternity
Love is with-
held only by the wicked
You are whole-
some of what I need
God is all-
knowing my heart’s desire
