A New Etheree Poem Any Theme Poetry Contest
Tania Kitchin
I
Dated
A sweet man
We fell in love
To a drummers beat
All was fine and dandy
Except his love for Brandy
His secret lover tore us up
He loved the liquor, hops, and spirits
And I'd fight her off and send him packing
Divine peace prevails
God’s gift* never fails
Blest to share love’s kindness.
Grace from heaven does flow
Reaching hearts, smiting woe
Divine peace prevails.
Mercy sweetly chimes
While hope shines many times
God’s gift never fails.
Thanksgiving reverberates indeed
Freed from selfishness-greed
Blest to share love’s kindness.
*James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Oh fear not!
Honey, let's quickly unite
To explore spark at night.
Screams of fun and cheers
will thrill soft ears
Oh fear not!
You are "Mine"
Light is blocking our sight
Honey, let's quickly unite
Painted face blush,
colorful heat waves rush
To explore spark at night.

She climbed high
And then fell
Her dream raged
Queen for a night
A crown was sought
He was her King
She dreamt, she reached him
He was in her bed
She woke, he raged on

Gift of God*
grants great life
good for all.
Blessings divine
bring peace and joy
blest for sharing
bestowed with love.
Thankful to the Lord
triumphant faith serves
trusting His guidance
tenacious midst hope
testifying truth.
*Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.

On this Christmas Day
Let`s today
Make our way
For heyday;
On Christmas day
And everyday
Let`s thank His son
For love to own.
On this Christmas day
And on every day
Let us chant His words
Of peace and good will,
With a sublime shrill.
You are mine.
Taste the wine.
Hungry lips.
Just take small sips.
Chance one last dance.
Moments enhance.
Feels like romance.
Could be forever.
A last endeavor.
Its now or never.
Like two passing ships.
Our lunar eclipse.
There was in a Christmas play, Daddy Nick
Whose role was to wrap presents surely quick
Dressed in Sta. Claus' best...
But while showing his jest
Special kids had chosen their precious pick.
So Daddy Nick joyously changed his trick
To act as fantastic, yet looking sick
The children prayed with zest...
"Lord, keep us glad and blest
Heal Sta. Claus, grant him well-being stick."
Rescuing readily was Papa Rick
Laughing heartily* with his funny kick
Smiting gloominess-pest
With gifts for all the rest
Thus, everyone smiled midst photograph's click.
*Proverbs 17:22 - A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

POETRY
I dream poetry since I got entry
to Poetry Soup.com, eight years back from
Two Thousand Fifteen, continuing been keen
to enjoy the contests trying my best.
My creation cum recreation.
But to mention:Honest confession !
I am an intruder. Great wonder !
So sorry ! My limited vocabulary
in English showing foolish
approach to encroach,
trying to pen, may be in vain
verses : Valiant ! Vigorous vibrant.
Yet I dream poems, venturing any theme.
amidst competent team
to nourish and nurture in real rapture
just to culture:
Language not rich, poor grammar to stitch.
Syllables I select ,probability not perfect.
Yet my enthusiasm knows no spasm.
Coming up poems ! I can neither claim,
those as gems,
nor exceptions but real relaxation .
My full satisfaction.
In last phase, feeling craze,
Dull days to entertain ,
oozing frolic fountain.
I dream Poetry ,
trying to produce tree
yielding verses of emotive blossoms
spreading fragrance from my bosom.
Forgiveness frees a fickle psyche
Grateful hearts give thanks for mercy.
