Sensibilities
Write a poem about Jesus- but describing him as something that is translated through your senses, maybe as the pleasing aroma of mountain air, the taste of fresh figs, the feeling of holding an ice cube too long... Match your relationship with him to the relationship you have with whatever you chose to describe him with- make it personal and true to your own experience. A prize will be awarded.

Hate In The Name Of Love
The person I see as someone long gone. A Jew who spread the words of love and acceptance. His followers have rusted my view. They have concocted a most repulsive potion of hatred and discrimination in his name. It leaves a bad taste, my eyes burning and my nose flowing. I can't help but wonder where they found all that hatred in the teachings of a man who preached love thy neighbor as thyself. Do they hate themselves that much?
If so that's incredibly sad.
