Best 23 Poems

Beside the still waters he leadeth me
Shepherd of my wandering soul
I do not want for anything, you see,
My shepherd has made me whole.

I have walked the treacherous path
But I did not need to be afraid
The rod and staff my shepherd hath
I can lie down in...

     a twinkling tiara.
December 31st, digits dancing dunes 
     in the Sahara.

Waterloo Clerihew 23-Skidoo

One of the greatest commanders in history
His manner of death a 200-year-old mystery

Who had asked for redemption on an earlier day
On this day her voice was mightier,

The Lord is my Poet
I shall not fret

He notes me down in white sheets of paper

The Lord’s my shepherd, my soul He doth keep,
I shall not want, for I’m His well-fed sheep,

In green pastures, He makes me to lie down,
Leads me beside still waters of renown,

The mounted riders, 
they speed forwards,
Turvehr did kick with heaven's power,
his mighty horn tearing and rending,
His eyes,
afire with hates desire,

when kissed by Sol.
He was the destroyer of the evil fire,
to rend,
this was his work this day,
his heart...

Listen well to your heavenly father
He speaks to you from heaven above
His best intentions He has for you
His words are always filled with love

The Lord is asking for your heart
for that’s where He wants to dwell
so from there to guide and direct you
on the right...

flooding my vision, drowning my smell,
