Umbrella of God : Shape Poetry (Letters from the Soul #21)


No
typhoon,thunder,tempest
and hurricane can make you tremble;
They cannot break your spirit when you
stand dauntlessly under the umbrella of God.
The divine power that created you will not only
shield you from the furor and bedlam, but will teach
you
how
to
play
in 
the
rain
and
how 
to 
talk
           to  storm
       the

Note:  This is a shape poetry which is a very inventive poetry form. In this type of poetry, the poem takes on the shape of its subject. As my subject is umbrella, my poem looks like an umbrella.
