Best Manna Poems

Tommy’s battle is in the bulge.
So much marmite in his pantry.
Celebrating, he does indulge.
Souper Choir laments in chantry.

What is this edible cement?
I’ve not the wherewithal to find.
Is it a sin not to try? Hell-bent?
To Tommy, I better be kind.

I opened the black jar with the

MANNA


Fresh from the movies when I was eight
Strolling  the snow-covered road with mum late,
Talking  of Heston and movies biblical
And was there such a thing as a miracle?
Deep kid with more than one  kid-question -
Was deep snow  from heaven?  Divine intercession?
Eating...

The crocs were lined around the rim,
catching a nap after their swim,
until hearing, "Wake up guys,
supper's falling from the skies.
I'll race you for a share of him".

Thousands gathered unaware
Fish were sparse and rare
Seven loaves of bread to spare
Christ gently professed
Twelve baskets I’ve blessed
My children
Share!


Mark 6:41-44.

Wishing everyone a Happy and Blessed Easter!...

we
wonder  
at Nature's
marvellous way  
of converting sun's
rays into oxygen
and food for sustaining life  
by photosynthesis in plants  
yet hold nature's manna in disdain  
choking, starving in the name of progress

... King Arthur had an enchanted sword,
do you, will it fell me?
come, let's ready ourselves
for embrace of the duel,
the nearest mirror recasts the
glittering joy of swords in our eyes...
... our eyes are the swords...

... we took each other by storm, and
I was blissfully chastened,
god was astonished
while the wind, a mocking
ageless echo unwittingly
beckoned us with thunder
galloping apace the astonished and chastened night...
... in one blind stroke, the
lightning joined
us as one...

... what distillation is this?
its vapors writhing so...

A for Ahira not an Apple was found at the tree of life, Sustain ate Manna;
B for Band bananas Black beans in stride;
C for Corianders and Cocoyam's flown in from the skies, sustain ate Manna;
D for Dalkon with Dandelions cries;
E for Endive in the wilderness...

manna from heaven
cloudburst after a long drought...
earth quenches its thirst

Television is such a bore.
If anything that kills brain cells
The TV is the number one
Cause of permanent brain damage.
Between the ridiculously
Lengthy commercials, reruns and
The misnomer: “situation
Comedy” with its canned laughter,
A viewers IQ can drop five
Points, perhaps more after sixty
Minutes of exposure, truly!
We have all become...

Cardinals bicker
and knock seed from the feeder. 
Doves parade below.

Today I walked under the canopy
of an old Maple tree,
wise in the ways of nature,
free in her advice 
to all who listen.
Politely I observed
this behemoth of wisdom,
some eighty feet in stature,
as Nature’s symphony in faint decibel
crept upon my ear.
The sound wafting to and fro
in the...

On one old album cover from my early high school days,
four young men pose casually in the center doorway
of a weathered beige adobe-looking building
with some cracks in its walls.
From left to right, they are dressed in western shirts
blue, black, and brown respectively.
The center guy is...

DON'T WASTE MANNA BREAD---Gather


Some gather more
Some gather less

Some glean for food 
Others glean for wealth and profit

He that gathers much has nothing less
And when he meets the Lord commands
What will he have in his out reached hands

Some gather more
Some gather less

Some glean for food 
Others...
