Best Lawrence Poems

D. H. Lawrence was a Better Man

I read about his snake 
And was quite impressed with the 
Alliteration and symbolism he used
To express that moment 
As they met at the “stone trough.”
I appreciated his struggle with
The voice of his education which told him to
“Take a...

We suffer in silence yet our hearts bleed out loud 

We hope our hearts, keep our feelings sealed yet our eyes reveal what our heart tried to conceal 

We Fight for Strength 

We Battle for Bravery 

We clutch our hearts and threaten to die for...

Not the best name for a horse, of course,
perhaps it was Arabian so we'll say it again;
they let me out, fifteen hands high, hoped it didn't buck,
not a rider till you've fallen off, just my luck. 

Guys alongside were an entrepeneur and a branding man,
I...

ST.   LAWRENCE   NORTH   SHORE

Late October time to go for this rover
The seagulls  bleat in lonely disorderly anguish.
River is open but the lake’s solid over
And they  know they must stay to the bitter  finish.

But the wild geese...

The days have grown dim
and the nights slumber-less
piles upon piles of papers
clustered against the wall

it's ink rots and whither's 
against the strands of time
tormenting me with unpaid bills
and threats of a foreclosed home 

The idle threats of separation
have grown familiar, the sparks
of romance no longer...

Europe claims a lengthy list of lusty wars
One graced the Church with Brother Lawrence
A giant of a man, hated being dishwasher and cobbler
At a large monastery in Lorraine, France

After the Thirty Years War, intimacy with Jesus
Made him forget every pain, his lame leg, isolation
As he...

prolific paintings meant he never needed a sub
Favourite of the English ruling class
but a legendary repute never came to pass...

‘Sweat of life’; opening words of candour
Ushering a magic show to follow
She burst forth in delight, of love fervour
Adoring oneness, within heart mellow
Name of the poem, ‘elevating heart’
Laying low, she has posted six so far
‘And cupping my heart gently’ Gods love starts
We behold her divine...

Susan Lawrence saddled her horse
(a Pegasus who flew off course)
The stars and the moon
Lit up the lagoon
Reflecting a greater life force...

Dad was a great piano player
Grandpa Luther was a great man
He burned his wife’s Bible 
In 1942, when Colorado farmers
Decided all Germans and Japanese
Threatened them
My grandmother 
Got another Bible 
English version 
She didn’t have to hide
Governor Ralph Lawrence Carr
Was a great man, too
The only one...

An English man proved salvation's worth, 
even in desert's unforgiving scald. 
In life 'nothing is written' in the Earth,  
Lawrence of Arabia he was called.

He rode alone to rescue a stranger, 
from scorching devil's anvil sun-scoured sand.
Judged and shot the same man plucked from...
