Best Crosswise Poems
Your rhyme your lyrics your verse
So clever so telling so witty
Diverts delights tickles
My eye my heart my ear
My eye my heart my ear
To follow with love to applaud
Your postings your fellowship your talent
Each day to value here
Your word your life your love
So true so pure so free
Draws near fills up attracts
My soul my being my heart
My soul my being my heart
To walk to learn to love
Your way your truths your name
Today to say to pray
A 17th century variation on the shape form
Your innocence your purity your smile
So open so natural so wide
Charms enchants awakes
My spirit my eyes my pride
My spirit my eyes my pride
Inside in wonder in youth
To pray to gaze to praise
In love in awe of thee
This form (which I have labelled crosswise) was popular in the 17th century.It can be read in
almost any direction.
Your beauty your kindness your laughter
So honest so friendly so serene
My anchor my rock my haven
My tranquility my mentor my mother
Within me in my heart in my soul
I pray with tears at your grave
Of love unspoken of words

Your face your eyes your smile
So deep so green so warm
Awoke met mine dear heart
In me that day a part
In me that day a part
This desire to kiss to hold
Always your lips to me
Remains divine all mine

A POEM THAT A PUT SO MUCH INTO
That day you have died
Crucified for all for me
You cried on the cross completely
Finished a way made free
Finished a way made free
You rose to share your spirit
To give by grace to me
New Life your light to see
Your verse your poems your words
So free so nice so true
Excites delights warms
My ear my eye my heart
My ear my eye my heart
To hear to see to trust
Your voice your soul your love
This day fly free to me
crosswise- MY LORD
Your word your life your love

Your concerto your opera your symphony
So piano so forte so grave
Brings tingles brings joy brings tears
To my spine to my heart to my eyes

As I feel as I discern as I perceive
Your music your motif's your theme
Deep inside refrains so divine
Your rhyme your lyrics your verse
So clever so telling so witty
Diverts delights tickles
