In the Beginning Man Created God

_____________________________________

In life it’s important to question

The assumptions we bring to our worlds

Beginning and ending within us

Man may bristle at the suggestion

Created when opinions are hurled

God, let’s reduce this uncivil fuss.

(A Bumper Sticker Poem)

Bumper Sticker Poems – a form I created, inspired by cento and golden shovel poetry, with the following guidelines:

• Using a bumper sticker as inspiration use the words in the bumper sticker as the first word in each line of the poem
• The theme of the poem may or may not have anything to do with the message of the sticker

• Title should be the words of the bumper sticker
• Should be rhymed
• 9 syllable lines
• Number of lines depends on number of words on the bumper sticker
