John Freeman Poet Rhyme

"my Love `tis An Eagle"

Free Verse Rhyme

`T is by power of  Love`...the American Eagle...soars above..
And will...as long as we are...love..Shall we leave love..
Stop soaring...as an eagle...Love..in almighty power above..

Some foolish...among Eagles..in a foolish way...foolishly say..
This clod of sod....don’t need God....to be good...
God....Love...maker of all that’s good..

Without Love’s light....Eagle’s Sight...grows dim...to mind’s whim..
Make your choice...but `t is Love..that `t will voice..
An Eagle’s flight..from darkness of night..by power of Love’s might..

The “Almighty” `t is one Eagle..one mighty nation..
One Mighty Eagle...`t is Love that will lift up...soaring above..
The cause is Love...only it’s wings above..
Strife of the knife...that the foolish call life..

God..Love..Eagle...one nation under God...
Indivisible...with Liberty....and Justice...for all..
Else my children.....there shall be a great fall..
The economy...of the mind’s gall!!

Andrea Dietrich January 23, 2010 at 6:15 PM Powerful message, John and thanks so much for your comment tonight. Hey, get some more new poems up! LUv, andrea

Scarlett Sepulvado Anderson January 12, 2010 at 7:02 PM Very nice read. Love the ending. I look forward to reading more of your material. Your spirituality is so inspiring. Thanks for commenting on my poems. It's been a very long time since I shared. The welcome here has been wonderful. Have a great day! Scarlett

Carolyn Devonshire December 2, 2009 at 9:32 AM Love and faith go hand in hand as I see it, Moses. We "Eagles" had better get in touch with this reality or our freedom will be in jeopardy. Excellent, thought-provoking write! Much love, Carolyn

Caroline Cécile Delacroix November 28, 2009 at 9:29 PM It's a great write, John, awesome and I agree. We must unite in love, no matter where we are from, our skin color, our religious faith. Let us follow the one who showed us the ultimate heart of love. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for your great comments on my poems. The one poem titled, "I am appalled", is more of a statement against a despicable invasion of our wonderful site of one under the name, "Hostile Bible Pig Grandfather". Love and blessings to you and yours, Caroline.

Marty Owens November 28, 2009 at 5:33 PM Love this poem too...Enjoyed reading tonight...Marty

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen November 28, 2009 at 11:48 AM Moses, Another poem that shows your great spiritually. I enjoy reading your work. I have a question for you since you are an excellent Bible scholar. There is a Bible verse that says something like... It matters not what man (intellectuals) think. It only matters what God thinks. Do you know where that is found? I just can't quite remember. Keep writing those uplifting poems. Lovingly, Dane Ann

Linda-Marie Sweetheart November 28, 2009 at 10:50 AM This is brilliant, Moses, and the third poem I have read today about Eagles... must be something in the air... and yes thankxxx I had a wonderful turkey day and hope yours was the same... visiting my brother in Pittsburgh but driving home now while typing on laptop ... started to snow there so we cut holiday short... be home about 8 tonight... its a 7 hour drive.. luv.. blessings ... luv again.. Linda-Marie, "Sweetie".. (don't get nervous, one of my sons is typing for me) while I am driving.

Madeleine Mclaughlin November 27, 2009 at 4:38 PM I think this is one of the few poems where use of the ellipticals seems right. And I like the way the reader does not really know what this is about til the end.

Sara Kendrick November 27, 2009 at 4:16 PM Love is the key but we as humans have a long way to go. That agape love is not easily attained by us only through the accepting and total giving of ourselves to him and then it is not easy. We also do good one day and the next falter. I am looking forward to the day that I can love with that agape love in his presence. Very good presentation of the subject. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
