Best Buttressed Poems

“Life --- commenced by God’s love, with soul quickened through His grace, spirit revived in His strength, faith buttressed upon His truth --- abides forever worshipful.” Poet (Beata B. Agustin)

Guilty, devoid of own righteousness in God’s sight
Condemned to hell’s wrath, my soul was transgression-slain
Yet, the...

Aware of the New World Order
and its philosophy, principle, predicament 
vis-à-vis Bible prophecy
my spirit trusts God 
Who is the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent
to put things in His order in His perfect time.

Meanwhile, let me picture how servant leaders
govern midst God's Divine Order according to Scriptures... 

There...

Clamor for food security prevails
midst scarcity of basic necessity
such confronts the world; oh, poverty ails.

Though there’s great Source, supplies demand high sales 
inequality reigns, buttressed by greed’s certainty
clamor for food security prevails.
 
Hear the sick in their bad health pity wails
afflicted with insufficiency’s futility
such confronts...

Anchored upon great genuine godly love’s magnificence
My Pastor toward his wife exemplified genuine care’s iridescence
Beyond romantic zeal around marriage vow’s faith-seal, truly wondrous
Proven by their triumphant wedding anniversary, indeed glorious!

Buttressed by the Saviour’s compassion of virtuous charity
My Pastor’s first and only lady sweetly epitomized fervent...

Admonishing against arrogance and apathy
Building lives buttressed with leadership brace
Caring for his children, blending compassion and circumspection

Empowering with his enabling encouragement
Fatherly figure, firming up family fortress by his faith-fortitude
Godly in gearing, guarding, governing, guiding along grace goodness 
Hoisting...

Nothing of the foisoning ageold homegrownwine

Blessings* God unceasingly bestows
Breath of health always flows
Benefits today toward bright tomorrows 
Birthday gratitude of mine glows.

Brand new year through each day’s goodness

Birthday prayer of mine midst joyousness.

Best service to offer with utmost...

Blessed with wondrous family, an-almost perfect home
having Daddy and Mama so loving among caring siblings 
I’m sufficed well to speak of satisfaction’s abundance…
yet haunted by unsettled predicament 
on “godliness with contentment is great gain.”*

Reared upon values’ inculcation toward virtues’ fortitude
immersed in parents’ religious orientation
I’m taught...

A rhetorical question finds me asking 
(to no one in particular) why I recall 
the names of grade school teachers 
approximately fifty years ago (whose 
names listed below), when the need

to retrieve necessary information due
ring examinations (less time ago) 
often found me seized with sudden...

for Granny Letchumi (b. fin 19th C. - d. 1978)

Once i was a prince in your highbeamed palm-thatched house
  timber and stone
   of hardened mud and cold green shiny cement
in your village ribbed with drying splintering palmleaf fences
  buttressed by ferns

"Soft," New, Parade, just begun, ...

cars and beasts ...

roll down the crowd-filled Street.

All the engines "hum."

All the cylinders "run."

Eyes open wide.

Hearts sink.


Under a rising Tropical sun,

the nearby ocean lies gleaming,

washing across the horizon.

Strange, ... glory and iniquity

--- here veiled, there all but exposed ---

march side...

Akin to daffodils got to puff the magic dragon GoDaddy seed achieve
visibly absent pride and prejudice where aggrieve
ment unseen, as careening human bits believe
where forebears of Adam and the ants sandy dunes cleave
species pollination, yet devoid of any sense nor sensibility that deceive
themselves philanthropic buttressed...

Time To Shower...When Pervasive Odor Of Ureic Acid

Doth strongly waft, sting,
and nauseate about me
olfactory nose flying zone
bombarding cilia of
nasal passageway analogous
to displeasure wrought by

crashing, deafening, exploding,
ear splitting xylophone,

barenaked lady within

voluntarily forced to bathe

in brutally cold
mountain waters oxbow lake

Home

A one pub village-the Cotswolds
The Totternhoe Chalk Stone
weathered, firm grey and brown co-mingled.
Corner edging buttressed.

The outskirts of hedgerows lined roads
Lawrence and the motor bike
in the sunlight until there was silence.

Set in the green grass
under the blue sky shadowed by clouds,
intermittent rain now cleared,
the Chalk Stone...
