So, you have something to want to say to God. Why not have a go at writing a Psalm? Biblical poetry is used throughout the Psalms, but also in Proverbs, the Prophets and sprinkled as songs in other books. You are probably used to the idea of poems having a rhyme and perhaps a rhythm. In Biblical poetry, rhyme is rare and rhythm a lot more subtle. The rules are fairly simple and flexible, and you will discover a new way of untangling your thoughts. The point of writing a personal psalm isn’t to compose a masterpiece for your church to sing, but to give voice to your own joy and pain.
