Does God Like Poetry?

does God like poetry?
when I stand before Him on the judgement day
will He chastise me for all that I had to say?
should I have split my nouns, verbs and adjectives
in a more reverent Sunday morning worship kind of way?

does God like poetry?
does He plug His ears as He looks down at the open mic stage?
tug his grey whiskers and point his finger in a fit of rage?
or would He excuse my French and turn the other cheek or other page?

does God like poetry?
should I write sacred psalms like David did in Old Testament times?
construct my thoughts in military formation like hymnal rhymes?
and collect olive branches and forgive them for all of their crimes?

does God like poetry?
or does just endure us poets
because we fertilize the earth with the truths that can't be said
the way we poets would say our unfiltered truths
behind pristine Sunday morning pulpits

taking it to God in prayer

our argument that

it is what it is

we saw what we saw

and wrote what we wrote

God loves poetry
and rumor has it

He loves me
a rumor has it
He loves me

a poet

so

I guess I will write for Him
so He can forgive my poetic transgressions

for His name sake 
God

does loves poetry
