I stood in line at the Pearly Gates
waiting my turn to enter there
wondering if I would be turned away
and saying a little prayer.

Two men before me were consigned
to the fiery depths of hell
one a lawyer of some renown
the other one named Fidel.

I stood up next and prepared
to be questioned on what I wrote
after all those naughty poems,
surely, I would be smote.

My record held in Angel’s wing
he perused it with great care
then scratched his head
and asked me to wait right there.

I waited nervously I thought
to be told hell was where I was bound
then all around there came to us
a booming, laughing sound.

A light approached from everywhere
and before me stood one so grand
I immediately fell to my knees
and kissed his Godly hand.

"Will I be sent to fiery depths
to burn forever more
Have I not done some good in life
to avoid that hellish shore?"

He smiled at me and took my hand
saying by now that I should know
Heaven’s gates are always open
'cause that’s where all poets go!

Well, I am glad to hear that, deVine. I love the idea. All poets automatically in heaven...sounds good to me! Great job!

If its true that poets go to heaven some fine day
Why are some still telling me to go the other way?

I doubt if Heaven is where I'm bound, but it is quite entertaining.

Another fine Poem, loved the hellish shore bit

( Does this mean I can write anything I want or is this going to heaven clause only open to real Poets? )

All poets go to heaven. Do you know how you were chosen to be a poet? Poets are bits of stardust blown from the hand of God.

Poet,

I'm glad you've met Saint Peter
It's very good to hear
That he likes rhyme and meter
And poets need not fear

The meter got off a little here and there and it sounded strained in some parts.
