L-O-V-E

Lion of Judah, Lamb of God, Light of the world
   Logos: Lamp to my feet, Light to my path
      Liberator from Lying, Laziness, Lust, Licentiousness

Opal and Onyx of Omniscience and Omnipotence
   Overcome my Onerous Offences and Omissions
      Outpouring Of Offerings and Oath Of Obedience I Owe

Verily the Veil Vanishes with Virgin birth Visitation
   Vouchsafe me Vigor, Valor, and Virtue for Victory in the Valley
      Voice of Veneration this Vessel Voluntarily Vows

Eucharist an Embodiment of Eden when Enthusiasm Ebbs
   Easter Exuberance Encourages and Enlightens: Eternal life!
      Emmanuel Exalted to the Ends of the Earth*

Law? Liberty? The LORD's Life Lesson is L-O-V-E

[alliteration]

* Isaiah 42:10 Sing a new song to the LORD; sing His praise from the ends of the earth.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/4/2020 1:52:00 PM Just as I was asking if you had new poems, this new one popped up. Amazing alliteration, John. Need to try this contest but I feel so little inspired. Love that cool picture too. I will never get it how the lion laying down with the lamb in Isaiah turned into it being a wolf. That's Mandela effect for ya. Login to Reply John Watt Date: 9/4/2020 2:45:00 PM Probably thanks to painters and poets who love the lion and lamb images more than the wolf, leopard, ox and goat! Thanks for the nice visit; hope you find some inspiration to try this.
