Bad poetry

Seriously, I am having trouble writing my last poem. We're supposed to write a poem that uses "sound technique". I suck at poetry as it is and I really suck at trying to use "sound" as a "technique".

Easter of My Discontent

I remembered the cherry blossoms.
I wore my new white dress.
I whirled in blizzards of petals
And smiled because I was blessed.

God must be happy
Because I turned out so well.
I hardly ever complained
So I would never go to Hell.

But I read Carl Sagan.
My mind started to quicken.
Why should I tithe
In order to be forgiven?

I wondered why I went to church
When my life seemed a mess.
Despite my hours praying
I still had to confess?

I sat among the worshippers
And realized I didn’t belong.
I can’t believe the impossibility

Of any church being wrong.
