One evening I met God
on a bench by the bubbling river
which divided the town.

And I asked him a question,
the most important one I could think of:
“What’s your favorite burrito?”

He seemed startled by it,
maybe even so far as off-put,
and he asked me “Why?”

I replied simply,
“Because no one else would ask you this
and perhaps you want to share.”

  1. I like the way the poem opened and how it progressed but then the ending left me flat. I know it’s hard to come up with a ‘killer’ or at least an apt ending but tyour poem deserved better than the ending it got. But who am I to speak? Whwen I write poems I rarely use plot so I guess I take the easy way out

    1. Thanks for the input.

      The ending is a little flat but I like the idea I was going for: someone asking a personal question of God instead of asking for favors/blessings/etc and that I’m the kind of person who would look at life, religion, and God from that perspective.

      Maybe I’ll write a part two someday and do it clearer/cleaner.
