Best Hospitably Poems
Staying AwhileBought at an antiques store for a song:
unframed print #225 of 750, signed by the artist
Number III of the family name, all painters,
(presumably) Those forbears hard to discard--
"Stay Awhile" its title, hospitably captioned by

beside his favorite horse...

TouchedIf my poetry moves you to witness to stranger
Just know that I'm touched that you're "sharing my ride,"
For the fact is that giving can be fraught with danger,

I have so little knowledge to call my invention
Some came...

Internal Dialogue-DebateI have an internally repetitious desire,

Yahweh's ZephyrChristian poets are like the winds of God's spirit
that waft through these airways whispering wisdom.

maligned?
nullify, openly proclaim
questioned?
radically speak truth

Yahweh’s zephyr!
*xenially means hospitably or
