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
