Red Neck (Psalms and Proverbs)

For those concerned of my muse
My red neck proverbs,  please don’t refuse,

If those considered to be, of lesser degree,
Could gain confidence in themselves,  to see,

Refusing to be put down by some carnal mind,
Thank you! My love in my heart is fine,
Rather! It’s the mind that’s out of line,

For all of life will be set straight,
Before entry into the gate,
Given time, by the settling of the mind,

Although we may think we know,
Given to the mind so,
In our life, if there’s strife,
Will certainly show,

Proof there is in the pudding,
Being a gooden,
If mind wooden, blow so, and show,  
Strife,  in life so,

If a little toad frog had wings,
Wooden be given to his many flings,
Bumping little buttocks along on the ground,
Butt twood,- be heaven bound!!
                                       Selah!

Ever once in a while, I write a poem that I feel like, is good enought
to dedicate to someone."Carolyn Devonshire" this your lucky or sad
day, depending upon your own opinion of the poem dedicated!
Your dedication in your comments on poems in Poetry Soup, mine 
included, are certainly a source of inspiration to me, as I am sure others. 
God Bless you, Sincerely, John Moses Freeman

truly Carolyn has taken on a motherly figure at the Soup. Carol Brown too, they both try their best to make sure everyone is included in the fun and that the love be spread around. Love your poem Moses, it's great you can poke fun at yourself in good humor. it takes quite an advanced mind to know not to let the carnal mind dictate your emotional state. that was my monster poem's true message really and I was very happy to see how well it was received and understood, by those who can understand:)

Ah, Moses, you made my morning! We face many struggles before we get to "the gate" and it's important to remain focused on what's really important in life. For me, having friends like you brings me so much joy! What a great poem. Thank you so much! Love you, Carolyn

John, not sure where to go with this one but the last stanza reminded me of another poem I read on soup in the last few days. About my challenge about the surf if you go to Wal-Mart listen to their display where one can play the relaxing tapes or whatever they call them and listen to one about the surf and just let it come and go in your head then see if it doesn't come to you. It can be short. Keep writing. I really enjoyed this one. Sara

Hi John. So nice to meet you. I really enjoyed reading this delightful poem. Excellent work and choice in dedication. Carolyn is a wonderful poet and such a warm, kind person and I am sure she will feel "Lucky" , not sad when she reads this. I have been at the Soup since November but I haven't been on the site since April. I look forward to reading more of your work. Love, Robin
