Tell It Like It Is

Today's prompt from Robert Lee Brewer for poem-a-day challenge

For today's prompt, take the phrase "Tell (blank),"
replace the blank with a new word or phrase,
make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.





 



Oh, tell it like it is
Tell of God’s love but do not miss

Cast no shadow of doubt


But to not skip this part;

Ah, where can we begin
Without mentioning sin

But, tell the words that Jesus said,

Of happiness, we do not find


Its audience with compromise


That transcends verbal claim
