This is an example of my inverted matrix poem, which has the inverse structure of the original matrix poem format.

This is a matrix poem; the first one I created last year. Notice the structure of word repetition; my next book will showcase my newly invented poetic style. I hope you enjoy it. My past few poems, including "Amber Nights" and "The Innocence behind Us", fall into this category

The following is another example of a matrix poem. Enjoy!

This poem describes the dream that set me free from my old life. It is a crucial part of my salvation testimony. It explains the very moment that altered my life forever, over two years ago! I hope you like this piece.

I pray that Jesus will meet you wherever you are - in the zenith and/or rock bottom - and give you the redemption you need to thrive! To God be the glory. Photo Credit: "The Hand of Mercy" by William Patino Photography (https://williampatino.com/gallery/seascapes/hand-of-mercy/)

The theme is habitat destruction but the scrub jay's argument is relevant to the injustices that all species face - this includes our own social/societal nightmares.

This poem was inspired by the unfortunate circumstances of the Kavanaugh case. It touches on the purpose of the law and showing love and grace to our neighbors, even in the midst of horrible political and domestic situations like this. I am beyond upset by the way Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh and their families have had their lives threatened by their fellow Americans. I hope that this poem will inspire some reconciliation for those who read it.
