Best Sponsor Poems
Today there are no rubber ducks, no flawless hues,
To hide behind, as we once did.
This day is dark, and gray and dreary,
Air thick with the scent of decay and mold,
Dull light filters in through the window,
Casting a somber tone across everything.
Even the freesia suds have gone bad,
The water in the tub is murky, opaque and grim,
Waves unseparated as the day that holds them.
When we were good kids, peering out,
From behind our good mother,
We got good glimpses, sucked on butterscotch chips,
The new neighbor, the smell of fresh sunflowers; it was fun.
But the old neighbor, who finally stopped coming around,
He was not good,
Over steeped dandelion tea, a benign-sounding thing,
Bitter and dry, sometimes salty; it was not fun.
As gray as this day, as this water, when I knew him,
He knew me, too.
I sink deeper into the swirling, whirling, and I think of things,
Dirty-water cyclone, the brightness of our childhood,
Harder to recall, I still remember the rubber ducks though.
Splashing them about, their cheerful colors and silly grins,
We knew joy,
But that bright spot is fading, and soon it too will disappear,
Down the drain, with this gray water and my leftover filth.
Mixing it all together,
In the stillness of the moment, I am struck,
The heavy inevitability of happiness; the transience of loss.
As bad as this day, that man, with his dreary gray hues,
I hang my head back and give a loud, guttural laugh at it now,
The memory of those yellow, plastic birds.
Especially since today there are no rubber ducks, no flawless hues,
To hide behind, as we once did.
Soon everything we know will rapidly be changed
Into an unfamiliar landscape and a worldwide shooting range
Guns pointing in every direction and at every town
No inspections will be allowed and best not show a frown
Orwellian decrees are issued, as government is a fail
False leaders arise; resorting to trickery and blackmail
Threat of war becoming constant with each passing day
Hot weather rapidly increasing evaporating countless lakes and bays
Electromagnetic pulse use likely; these weapons we do store
Thoughts no longer of deterrence, but of all out war
In a flash, atomic weapons destroy all that we have and stand for
Man still is searching for an out, but there is no escape door
Extreme earthquakes continue shaking the earth down to its core
Sadly, all of this must occur; to allow true peace to return once more
There is something with you I must discuss;
What we need is someone to sponsor us
Like local newspaper or business of some kind;
Rich person who likes poetry and wouldn't mind.
Some say that poetics are often prophetic
And presume others are really pathetic
Unless his name may have been Watson
Who was driving around in a Datsun.
If are having trouble with vision and sight
Have eye doctor as sponsor, we just might;
Maybe a delicate dentist or a car dealer
With tires making sounds like a squealer.
How about a church with religious fervor?
Or a tennis player who is a good server;
Someone who can make group become alive
Like a golfer who does have a great drive.
These are a few thoughts I had in my head
And good bye now because I'm going to bed
But all of my dreams which are undaunted
For years now by them have been haunted.
Your beauty beats
whole lot said to be beautiful
why God seldom appears in public ?
God fears your decorum
outsmarts his glow
you gravitate everything
even the 'black hole' of the universe
your moves make melody in my moments
your eyes are my entrance gates into
deepest ocean to tickle the feet of the earth
tallest Himalayas to shoulder the stretch of sky
your glimpses dance on
every cell of air that goes by me
all objects they meet me
eyes opened, I see you
eyes closed, I feel you
unfortunate to utter
my eyes are okay to embrace you
my dreams are afoot to decorate you
my aim is seated to welcome you
nonetheless...
my wallet can't withstand your weight
my back succumbs to carry your beauty's basket
so is the cause my love...
I wanna be your
booming onlooker than
bankrupt sponsor
Every now and then it is critical and crucial to find a quiet space
So we may hear the voice of God infused with His mercy and grace
As the world is full of noise pollution and the cacophony of sounds
God can't seem to get our attention nor get us to settle down
A word from our Sponsor the Lord our God
We need to receive what He wants to implant in our hearts
As only the voice of God can help us to calibrate and heed
Our spiritual gyroscopes and our spiritual needs
Now God said to be strong and possess courage as well
This three times to Joshua the Lord Our God did tell
For our strength comes not from our credentials, our status nor our vitality
Our true strength comes from the Lord God, the omnipotent authority
Because we are only the branches on His universal vine
A constant supply of what we need in Him we will find
As we are no match for what the world and the adversary has planned
We need to cleave to God's omniscient and omnipresent hands
For none have ever known and none have ever seen
All that the Lord Our God can actually glean
And because joy comes in the morning we need to hold on
A new day has arisen and in Christ we need to stay strong
By encouraging ourselves in remembering the promises that God made
As Goodness and Mercy His two angels are about to take center stage
So wait for God to bring the change that will cause our courage to manifest
As courage is the outward facade to show the world that we are blessed
As it was courage that caused Daniel to change the Roman headlines
And it was courage that caused David to face Golieth on the battle lines
Now God our sponsor also said to read and keep His Holy Word
And not be influenced by what mere men have heard
To comprehend that the Scriptures are the universal architectural plans
The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth God's righteous commands
So let's delight ourselves in the Word, keep it and it will keep you
Let it dwell richly within and prosperity will come about too
A word from our Sponsor is be strong, be courageous and keep His Holy Scriptures
For without these three things in life we'll never get the full gospel picture
The yellow moonlight had gone out.
The moon beats quietly.
The stars have fallen on you.
arrived during the day.
The wind mumbled scattering the stars' dew.
Dust
The sky above is gleaming.
Desire is sent out, and love is infused with kindness.
The moon can make the night exciting, once more to you.
How cleverly the night is transformed into play.
Will you and I meet again?
Have you ever really, or is it just you?
The star sent out a message before falling
The beach is calling.

Contest your Preference.
Inspired by Mick Talbot’s message to all participants in his haiku contest.
Mick’s maybe a stickler for the contest rule
He’s only helping so you don’t look a fool
If you don’t have any rules it all falls apart
Don’t try and ignore them, don’t be smart.
If he says haiku, that’s what he wants
Not HAIKU, your title or fancy fonts
Updates on his contest page you’ll see
Read his rules and make him happy.
If he wants a poem about black cats
Don’t be clever and do one about bats
You’ll get disqualified and booted out
No glory for you you’re heading south.
Put the date you wrote it, don’t put your name
Or he will ignore it and that would be a shame
Mick’s a generous sponsor, he’s more than fair
You are given a chance to put things square.
Remember he’s doing it for our benefit
Gets no financial reward for doing it
So if you want a gold medal in his contest
Please read the rules and give it your best.
stay tuned we'll be right back so don't touch that remote
a word from your sponsor is coming of which you should take note
God said to be of good courage and to have no fear
and that's a direct command that He wants us to adhere
everyone has a choir of critics, a bunch of nitpickers
never a word of encouragement, a bunch of bitter snickers
folks will always have their opinions be they bad or good
and if you're in a position of leadership to tell you they think they should
they're just like an old shoe's tongue always flapping when on the go
but a word from your sponsor is what you really need to know
your sponsor is your Savior, the Master Potter of Life
your sponsor is the Holy Lord, Jesus the Christ
three times Jehovah told Joshua to be courageous and to be strong
and don't worry about what the world has to say for I know where you belong
listen to My instructions for this is a direct command
just listen to your Sponsor and get with the program
it's not about your credentials, your experience nor your resume
it's not about any plaques or awards that you've received up to this day
a word from your Sponsor is all you ever need to hear
as what the world usually says is shrouded in discouragement and despair
when you think back over your life and all that you've survived
you will see that it was the grace of God that kept you alive
strength is the inner connection to God that you've been given
and courage is the outward expression of how you should be living
courage is the thing that made a young David realize
that Golieth was just another target only bigger in size
courage is the thing that will stop fear in its tracks
and make you more focused when the enemy attacks
a word from your heavenly Sponsor goes beyond human understanding
so do whatever it is that the Lord God is commanding
a word from your Sonsor is playing on the spiritual channel
so don't touch that dial, the remote nor the cable TV panel
a word from your Spnsor will stand the test of time
the everlasting bread of life on which you should dine
to eat of the Daily Bread that God has in abundant supply
to meditate on the word of God on which you can rely
a word from your Sponsor is what you need to hear in life
the eternal word of God and the gospel of Jesus the Christ
I am not a communist, nor a capitalist
I am a biologist and humanist
I am happy with all animals
and all humans with no viciousness
I love the leaders who treat the people with respect and dignity
and hate those who only love money and votes
no matter his name is Xi or Trump.
at this junction in your journey at this pivotal point in your life
you need to hear a word from your Sponsor, the Lord Jesus Christ
so stop and take a moment and find some quiet time
to step away from the noise and chaos that seems to be crowding your mind
it's time to declare a moratorium and seek a calm place
somewhere where the world is not all up in your face
some one on one time with God is what you need to discover
an intimate session so you can recoup and recover
people are always saying something, be it good or bad
don't listen to that idle prattle, just remember the love for Jesus had
you need to hear a word from your Sponsor every now and then
a word from the heavenly Father, your eternal friend
Joshua himself thought he would not be up to the task
afraid that he could not do all that of him God had asked
God told Joshua to be strong and have a courage that is bold
for God does not suffer cowards nor a spirit that will fold
a word from your Sponsor, your spiritual backer
Jehovah Shammah, the battle fighter and demon attacker
for as long as you stay in God and He abides in you
a word from your Sponsor will always see you through
so don't let the world make you cry, don't allow it to steal your joy
stay connected to your Sponsor and let His powers be deployed
a word from your Sponsor, a word from the Lord God
Jehovah Jireh, your provider and protector of your heart
John Ruskin wrote books
until he went mad at home
hence a true patron
AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR
SPONSOR
Bob Mershel was a good friend to me
No, I didn’t say Mr. Bob Hershel
Bob is dead now but he’s remembered on T.V.
Because when I wanted him I’d say “Come Mershel.”

But where is he? Asked the assistant team leader with panic in his voice.
He was looking for the competition sponsor, Mr. Larry Royce.
The seventh grade team was snickering, but not helpful yet.
They knew that their principal was going to have an enormous fit.
It’s not our fault we are elaborate thinkers, the robotics captain said.
She motioned to a robot whose face was turning a scarlet red.
That’s Mr. Royce, she admitted. We turned him into a little bot.
assistant team leader became the sponsor, that minute, on the spot.
