“The Canaanite Woman’s Faith”: A Triolet on Matthew 15:21-28

Here is another triolet, this time on Matthew 15:21-28. I am posting this poem both here and at my Substack.

The Canaanite Woman’s Faith

Lord, let me have the children’s bread,
Though no more worthy than a dog.
Dogs, like children, must be fed.
Please, let me have a crust of bread.
Faith transforms dogs to sheep instead.
My worth is weak; my faith is strong:
Let me, then, share the children’s bread,
Though no more worthy than a dog.
