Visual Poetry

I've Never Been to Heaven is a visual poetry piece, a form that I have been experimenting with this year after a health challenge made it difficult for me to write poetry. The original is from a religious tract sent to me by my cousin. Althought the poetry didn't speak to me, I wondered if there was a deeper prayer within. There was.

Original: You Give Me Strength, Salesian Inspirational Books, New Rochelle, NY, "I've Never Been to Heaven original poem by Bonnie L. Nelson. I like to look for poems in material such as self-help books, romance, and religious tracts to name a few.
