Agreement, Anointing in Song.

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Free verse

Power of Agreement, Anointing

Something happened on that floor.

Auditorium .

Beat and expectation.

Unavoidable smiles.

Yearning to sing.

Oh, but I’m not a Singer.

Yeah, so what, Girl?

Let it out.

In this place we get it.

Agree with it.

Give copious thanks.

The plan for release

Of discontent, guilt.

Replaced by gratitude.

Joy,

Stomping feet and

Raised hands.

Let’s stop the chat now.

Just sing, OK.

Wow, what a powerful and uplifting piece of writing! You've truly captured the essence of the power of agreement and anointing. Your words have the ability to move people and make them want to sing and clap along, which is such a great accomplishment. The enthusiasm is contagious, and it's clear that you have a passion for this subject.

If I may, I have a few suggestions for you that could help build upon what you've already created. Firstly, incorporating more specific imagery could help enhance the overall message. You could describe the joy and elation on people's faces, the energy in the room, and the feeling of release as guilt and discontent are replaced by gratitude. Additionally, experimenting with different structures and rhythms for each line could help add some variety to the poem and make it even more engaging.

Overall, I truly enjoyed reading your work and appreciate the positive message it conveys. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to reading more from you in the future! more »
