Claims Still Unrhymed
Buried alive
the secrets we keep
Covered over
in memories deep
Waiting for miners
with claims still unrhymed
To assay what’s hidden
— there waiting to find

The Beauty Of Nuance
When man controls
technology
decorum availed
But when
technology controls man
the classless prevail
When machines
do the thinking
with hard drives as boss
The beauty
of nuance
— and subtleness lost

Writing a

Is like building
a house
You start with
a blueprint
That guides you
throughout
You raise it

Then wire

And coat it

Onward Christian soldiers
Armed with your risks and dares
Proclaiming your new year resolutions
Assessing your evolution
From all your years of resolving
Solving, dissolving and involving
With all your learning and experience
With your mastered resilience and expedience
From seasons of pain and agony
That birthed your compelling testimony
With memories of good old days
With hope of righteousness that pays
With seared assurance
Of peace within whatever turbulence
Of salvation availed to all men
Of God’s promises yes and Amen
Of the unchanging God even in changing times
Of His ever new mercies each morning in rhyme
Of His long life attested to by the years
That we welcome in pomp, color and cheers
Ever to the believer so sure a premium
Even 24 years into the millennium
And may we know what we live for
Even as we hope and pray for many more
*A HAPPY NEW AND PROSPEROUS 2024*
A doomed lifelessness sprung out of me
My body resided, candid eyed
While my soul left, evaporated to escape
In the form of a single tear shed.
Such dense, my eyes could not hold the weight
They dropped it to the floor
Falling to its fate in a graceless chase
I could not see it reach its goal.
I felt light, but with unattended vacancy
A gulf possible of collapsing; I looked down,
And there were pieces of myriad gold
Breaking off the teardrop,
Flecks of my croon, singing
They were fairies who rose up to me,
I saw in them a sense of misery--
My own staring back at me.
The fairies casted a spell of my unknown
The magic perforated straight into me
Something stirred-- deceit to emptiness
Something that did not beg to break free
Maybe a soul that was stable, in peace.
I realised it was the answer to my plea,
The weight laden drop was no more
The single tear shed was a call for help
It birthed fairies who availed to it.
Swing of rhythm from winter bleary
to appealing chords of change
in April's nibbling nudge of growth
to lance clay earth - a listless shield
Shafts of sun, filling voids, to starch
the landscape clean
April rains restore sponge dry ground
wet drops that hang on branches
like small crystal
Carpeted loops of spring bluebells below
lift whispered worries
pert cupped flowers worth praising
signs renewal
like the world that catches on to truth
Tucked in new warmth,
tree buds open
eyelids of green
an unhurried arrival
like promises
accepted
by April's idleness
sweet potion
availed
in the muddy spin
of spring
ignited

Diego Maradona.
Born for sports,
What a stamina!!!
Dedication in vocation.
By his presence,
Opposition ensure of defeat,
Availed of opportunities,
Those were given,
A sailor of team.
Engraved his name,
In history, by deeds.
Will be alive in, our heart.
In a small poem,
Difficult to explain,
His contribution.
And i am in state of,
"Proud words from a weak stomach".
My attempt of,
Tribute.
To the legend of football,
Whose score was called,
"The hand of god".
Sandstone erode into dust harks history's fade
Effected by events, weathered
Crept century torture administers eventual taint
Withered time drives incessant
Battered slate roof removed promotes damage
Cold rain and blazing sun hurt
Cyprus seeds challenge infertile dust, establish
Passage through gathered dirt
Co dependent pieces redefine a weary structure
Fed full on counterpart stength
Capability maps character, freshened functions
Exchange worshipped sentiment
Protected rod trunk tree intersects better entity
Deep dug roots, a chasm shielding
Tumult inevitably threatens to reinstate tentative
Pledge prevails, reliance appealing
Dedicated to tasks, support and every day bolster
Ruin renewed by flaura's courage
Offers availed are automated, mutual responders
Hold each firm in order to flourish
23rd November
Alone with telescope
Astronomy's my rock.
Asteroids and planets
Availed on starry nites.
All moonlit sky above
Always awe inspiring.
Am sometimes overcome.

for Joseph May's contest.
Exquisite throes
You feigned forgive
Such shining sand
But sans a sieve.
While your intent
Was double-down
You kissed me deep
To watch me drown.
A phoenix flamed
Availed and cursed
Thus meant to quell
Your fiery thirst ...
But molten ire
So coolly poured
Is hell-and-gone ...
Your hellish hoard.

Alousius was a most auspicious bird
He was also a bit daffy and wacky
And constantly went awry and absurd
As a bird one might say he was absolutely atrocious
And his appetency of eating rotten week old berries
Gave him the worst possible case of halitosis
Oh How! he did anguish the blue birds next door
That fell from their perches every time he exhaled
Emitting an odor that was completely obnoxious for
Any bird's friendship of his allure to be availed
How could he assuage this most delicate dilemma?
With great gusto he would absolve to reverse his song
By inhaling on the exhale which was quite a "problema"
He would absolve the stench like crimes to become one who
Soon was known as the famous rare species of legend's throng
As the ooooooOOOOOOHCOOOOOOooooo Cuckoo
Our helpless girls in the society hide
Their harassment or abuse sometime
For fear of being ashamed,
But not that brave girl of a remote town,
She spoke out how her headteacher
Attempted to molest her sexually, but
From the evil communities she got the judgement,
The hyenas around her smelled for
The opportunity and availed it,
She was taken, doused in kerosene then
Set on fire on the school’s roof top,
That day she went to school for her exam,
Social justice! Is it destroyed?
So a new humanism has just risen,
Let her lost hope and desire be vibrant
For the unity of womanhood—
Her courage for an inspiration!
PEACE AVAILABLE IN 2019
Jesus said to His disciples, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 KJV
Therefore, I believe Jesus to be the source of true peace.
Will there be peace in 2019
for the world to be healed of its degradation.
My feeling is the only way for that to take place
is by having a personal relationship with the Savior.
His peace is the peace that passes all understanding.
I have availed myself of this peace
and I now have a mansion in Heaven for eternity
where I will walk on streets of pure gold
see streams of water that needs no purifying
because it is already as pure as pure can be.
Peace on earth may never come
'til Jesus comes again
Unfortunately for some
it will be too late then
I'm so glad I found this peace
before 2019 arrives
So I could share it with you
and have you realize
that peace is available
for you as well
and your soul won't end up in hell

For the contest sponsored by Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer
Screams in vain, in the dead of night
Pigtail braids and gown of white
It mattered not, how loud she yelled
Snug as a bug, no cries availed
Mom had tucked her safe in bed
These terrors lived inside her head
The boogie man, alive and well
Inside her dreams, he would prevail
A coward preying on her mind
Not strong enough to get outside
They quickly dismissed, the little girl
Telling tales of a scary world
They only knew, of what they saw
A handsome man, dark and tall
I love you he said as he lay supine abed.
Through veiled tears masked by a smile,
she glowed comely, masking fear and dread,
kissing weathered cheeks, gently,
her wares availed
and duly spread.
A gift of love to offer only one.
All pangs of fear now fled,
the child bride smiling all the while.
A woman now, resplendent dwells instead.
Taking charge of things anon,
she quickly whisks the room.
Baking yeast bread;
akimbo, she smiles….. “Clan Gunn” !
Jubilant Heart
A breeze carries your scent to me
My heart wells up with anticipation
Your voice permeates my surroundings
A sound perfect to my ears
You are a thousand miles from me
Distance is an illusion as I constantly feel your presence
Our souls are connected
Our yearnings are satisfied
A jubilant heart is availed to me because of you, my love
