For today’s prompt, write a faith poem. For some people, faith means religion. For others, faith means trusting in science and mathematics. Still others, think George Michael's "Faith" just as some immediately conjure up Faith Hill. Regardless of where you put your faith (or don't), today's poem gives you an opportunity to express yourself.
That said, just a quick reminder: Be respectful of each other. It's my one rule, and I have faith that y'all can handle it.

Re-create Your Poetry!
Revision doesn’t have to be a chore–something that should be done after the excitement of composing the first draft. Rather, it’s an extension of the creation process!
In the 48-minute tutorial video Re-creating Poetry: How to Revise Poems, poets will be inspired with several ways to re-create their poems with the help of seven revision filters that they can turn to again and again.

Here’s my attempt at a Faith Poem:
“& if i die”
there's no guarantee
the next morning will come
but i still close my eyes
anticipating rest
