Congregationalist Poem

Look at me,
you can see,
I'm a simple Congregationalist Puritan.
I am my own man.
Independent, self governing,
Doing everything I can.

I believe the bible,
to learn and listen.
The devil is my rival.
You should be on your own,
individual churches,
Stand by yourself,
nothing to loan.

Just a puritan,
independent, but religious.
May god always be with me.

Reflection:
I wanted this poem to talk about the "type" of puritan instead of one in general. I did research on a Congregationalist's beliefs, and learned that they are independent. They are basically like the regular Puritan, but they believe that being independent will get you farther than just listening to leaders.

I used rhymes, and metaphors. I don't know if some imagery is involved, but describing the congregationalist's religion may fall into that category.
