Best Shouts Poems

"The Lord is risen!”*  
keeps on reverberating
as vibrant resurrection-shout 
for life-transformation
conquering old nature
vanquished by God’s salvation-might
toward empowered service
wrought by the Holy Spirit.

“The Lord is alive!”
ceaselessly echoes 
jubilant resurrection-truth
along faith-perseverance
smiting doubts' grip
through Scriptures' assurance
bracing against angst of confessed iniquities
to radiate Christ's light.

“The Lord reigns!”

Bill's a conservative 
upset that Meals on Wheels
and Medicaid face possible 
cuts in America's budget.

He yells to colleagues
who also have money that 
we shouldn’t mess with 
elderly folks who depend
on one good meal a day and 
shouldn’t say no to the poor 
when they need...

Silence and Shouts

I listen to him breathing.  If it’s labored, I ask, “Are you okay?”
And from over the rings of walls of silence he has built around himself, 
He implores, “You hear so poorly, you can’t hear me just speaking,
  But you can...

Underclass ; a running box that middles
                  the center of a (not)living room.

Kidney table; an African girl beams

With thanksgiving on my lips my God and king will I exalt
  I sing and rejoice on my journey to the temple of Yahweh
    To lift praises with the multitude to the Alpha and Omega
      How...

Saviour Jesus Christ, God Almighty revealed Himself: 
Creator reaching down to me with His compassion
Redeemer, ransoming my soul from sin's penalty...
Imparting divine nature, transforming me by His omnipotence
Publishing His preserved precepts that proclaim His purpose
Testifying about His love filled with grace, mercy, pardon...
Untainted Word, Scripture*...

Voices of fire, booming, 
crackling explosions cry out their sulphuric elation.

Another celebration, of every nation and 
baby new year’s rattle rings out to the heavens;
transition is sometimes sweet; sometimes sour.

Hopes ride high for the coming months; dreams’ 
are revived by Father time’s passing.

Daylight swerves around the road
Shouting from corner to corner
Morning comes alive 
The traffic starts rolling
And people start flowing
I walk briskly up the road
And walk along Market Street
The layover vendors are just waking up
And some of them are escaping the night rush
A big broad woman hanging...

There is a voice within me, one that whispers doubt and shouts despair in the silence of the night.
It tells me that no matter how hard I try, I will never reach the goals that seem unattainable.
It convinces me that I am unworthy of love,...

Let's go shopping today
drive our fancy cars, smash guitars
as you listen to every word I say

Shopping malls all so crowded
teenage angst, as the innocent walk the planks
and ignore the rebel who's shouting

Crave a big mac
mustard and ketchup, no time to play make-up
how can I get...

No one screams, no one shouts, no one to cry.
No sobbing wet cheeks or damp eyes to dry
No one to stop living, nor wish to die.
No one can deny both took the chance to try
No one need to ask the other the reason why.
No one...

Sensory reveries float feathery,
Softly, through my summary treasuries.

There are flashes, small splashes
that wander in random dashes
between my head and heart.
Some precious memory stashes
often break dark and apart.
I will feed on photo books
hoping repair requires but a look.
It often ends with me shook
by a bittersweet sharp...

untitled haiku, excited

nervous  shouts
we all rush and collide
hummingbird’s lost flight in a house
