This is written for FOWC: Putrid and this prompt using the word “crawl.” The form I used is called a Spenserian Quintilla, which I learned about on this blog. This poem is really pessimistic, somewhat of an exaggeration, but I’m sharing it anyway. 🙂 Sometimes, I let the negativity have its voice and then figure out how to smash it later.
There’s difficulty up ahead:
As crawling through a putrid swamp
Is how life feels. Trouble has led
To even more, when will it end?
Before all breaks to pieces, Jesus, heavens rend!
I’m glad it’s an exaggeration. It does describe 2020 pretty well though!

We usually call to Jesus for salvation. This is an interesting take that the salvation may come from the book of revelations.

If the future (“difficulty up ahead”) seems hard as compared to today’s “putrid swamp,” then our hope can only come from Jesus. And we know He is our hope. 🙂
