Thoughts and drafts

Name:

Annette Agnello started writing in the tenth grade inspired by a wonderful teacher, and has been writing for publication over forty years. She started writing after she won a scholarship for a writing course from “Berean University.” Advocate Magazine, which held the contest, published her first article “Consider the Words of the Song”. Several years later she began writing poetry and had considerable success. She was regularly published in the first year of Faithwriters 500 e-magazine. She took some time away from writing due mainly to health issues fully supported by her loving husband Mario who is currently involved in a prison ministry while waiting for his minister’s licences to be awarded so he can become a full time evangelist.

First Published Poem

I have started a new blog just for my study of the names of God. I am planing to start posting a lot of my writing on my blog. I will be going through some of my archived pieces and posting them in a more public sight. I will begin with the poems that have been accepted by various publications and go through other things I have published and still own, then perhaps some more of the new things that have never seen the light of day. I will start with my first published poem.

GOLDFINCH

On hillside grew a thistle
Filled with ripened seed
Festooned with silken plumes
God's provision, lowly weed

A pair of goldfinch
Attracted by purple crown
Stood on thorny blossom
Finding seeds beneath the down

Neath the colorful petals
Uncovering tasty seeds
In joyful abandon feasted,
At banquet form a weed

True to his promise, God provided
Birds of the air all they could eat
Together they sing their praises
Thanking God from banquet seat

Never hungering, with no worries
Trusting God for all their needs
Enjoying what he provided
Dining on their feast of seeds

This poem was written about birds between a factory and a car dealership. It was a tiny snippet of nature in a world of technology. There is beauty anywhere you choose to see it.
