Best Audience Poems

In an audience of one,

He walks with me right by my side.

When I close my eyes He is there watching over me,
He is my strength, this man who walked the Seas of Galilee.

An audience in the overhanging trees 
glean upon the sight darkening light appease. 
Free spirit blotting out the sun shortly ease; 
dancing image in the shady shadow seize. 

Glean upon the sight darkening light appease;
nesting birds departing and upward release. 
Dancing image in the shady...

Betrayal Demands An Audience

Pretty smiles
dressed in camouflage
full in view but hidden
talking sincerity
to silent attentive listeners.

Impressive Actor

for betrayal demands an audience
he's inspired from arising cheers
see, his deceitful decorations near.

And when found out
he's drawn them in
his performance was just to win
his stage impressive
and the...

Why am I threatening?
Why am I threatening to do this thing, it is in my mind to do?
I am a man of action,
I am a man of deeds.
Why am I threatening?
Am I seeking approval?

My audience is dwindling here on the Soup
Perhaps I should write about love stead of poop
Seems I've lost my way

This took place on a football team not too long ago.
The owner and all the coaches together agreed,
that a star receiver was their immediate need.

The best all-pro pass catcher played for another team.
To have him render his services...

An Audience With THE KING

Many times during my walk with Him over the years, I have cried and prayed
and sought my Lord’s face, my Father’s face and asked Him, oh if HE would
just pick me up and set me upon His lap so that I...

I keep trying to rhyme but the rhythm keeps losing the message.
Next I try to count 5-7-5, but the puzzle of syllables denies the center I want to surround.
I can't count myself into my disclosures,
I can't couple two lines and Shakespeare my way into commodious...

among green foliage and slender twigs, perched a graceful mellifluous Nightingale.
Chickadees, Robins, Orioles stopped their synchronised cadence of rhythmic tweets, in anticipation..
a tranquil silence fell in the forest, a quiet trance around...

tall majestic trees stopped swaying their aspiring  branches,
plants and shrubs and bushes softly emanated...

Swirling words from an infinite field,
Caught and thought in a moment of time.
Knowing not their future or their yield,
Their full potential may be sublime.

Allow yourself a time to reflect,
Give your thoughts the freedom to expand.
It won’t take long for them to connect,
Piece them together the...
