Thank you very much for posting this poem .i enjoy reading spiritual stories and every religion has similar stories.this was a smoothly flowing story poem. though Jonah disobeyed Him, he repented later and was willing to sacrifice himself to save others.

I'm sorry I don't have a star to give you.
For your poem and message is so on point I play this role with my grand children letting them know what they are doing to their mother is wrong and if they don't change there is a price to pay. Yet I let them know I love them, any way.

Thank you misscookie,
Yes, disobedience to God has its consequences, just as obedience has its rewards.
Love and have a great day, :-) Carolyn

this is very well written carolyn, you did an excellent job writing this couplet poem about the book of jonah==great encapsulation of it. did you know that the apostle paul's mother or father one dwelled in ninevah? because it was saved, he was born and wrote so many books of the bible.

Comment from MizKat
Hi Carolyn,
I really like this poem. You did a great job telling about Jonah and how he finally turned to God. Then he did what God told him to do and went to preach to people who really needed God's and Jonah's help.
Bravo, Kat

I've got a cough that keeps hanging on. I was really sick on Tues, and I had to keep running to the bathroom. I was a little better today, but after I watched my great-great-grandson as both parents were working, I went to sleep for several hours.
I have so many things wrong with me it isn't funny. I think my cough comes from being allergic to 19 different things. I went for treatments once a week for a year and was supposed to just go once a month for the next three or four years, but she said I'd still have to go every week, so I just quit. It didn't seem to be helping me at all. I suppose I should have stuck with it.

I hope you have a better day, was it Dylan that visited you? We will have Faith and Kohlton for a sleepover Sat night.

Yes, it was Dylan whom I watched yesterday and am supposed to watch today, but he hasn't come over yet. His dad might work in the afternoon.

You seem to be starting a series of Bible stories. That should be easy to sell. Smart woman. I knew about Jonah and the whale but am embarrassed to say I didn't know the reason or the outcome. I'm sure I read of it in a children's illustrated Bible book eons ago.

Hi there, the book of Jonah (a minor prophet) in the old testament is very short. The poem is closely written to the story. God had decided that the city of Nineveh was very wicked and had decided to destroy it. But, he told Jonah that He wanted him to warn them, preach to them and give them a chance to change their ways. Jonah did not want to go. The running away, being swallowed by a large fish, being vomited onto land and going to Nineveh is the body of the book. When Jonah told them that if they didn't change, they would be overthrown, (destroyed) in forty days, they listened and obeyed. They wore sackcloth and ashes to demonstrate their repentance. A rather comical occurrence happened after that, Jonah got mad... I am thinking of a follow up poem, so I won't tell all. So glad this interested you, and thanks for the encouragement for the book.
I wish I knew more about getting a publisher. :-) Carolyn

This is a wonderful read. You create a lilting and uplifting experience with the strength of your meter throughout. The story and the message are simple, yet powerful. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Comment from royowen
I just love the story of Jonah, it's a great lesson to us that " the King's business requireth haste" the scripture in " Song of Songs" were the " beloved was slow to respond to the Lord''s knock at the door, and when she did, she was " beaten up, well done, Carolyn, well written good couplet rhyming, good imagery and flow! Good stuff, blessings, Roy.

To notesandmore,
You have certainly captured the essence of obedience and the spirit of wisdom and knowledge when doing God's will.
A great lesson to continue learning and then if God is willing
to aspire to higher heights.
