If Heaven Permits

If heaven permits
I will be a robin
Perching
Up on a sunlit branch of a tree
Gazing at the far-off light
That flourishes out on the vanilla sky

I will sing
From June to the merry month of May
Every flat
Every sharp
Every note of poetic symphony
That glitters ceaselessly

I will fly
Rough and tough
Beyond ferns and herbs
At odds with
The whirling wind
That might spoil my beauty

And yes
I will soar
Steeper than the milky way
As long as the world breathes
Until heaven
Forbids me

not.

I'M So Passionate About Poetry...

... That maybe I need to ratchet it down a bit,
      Least I appear too annoyingly enthusiatic. (HAHAHAHA)
         But I want you all to know,
             The beauty of poetry 
                 And my appreciation
                      For all it's form 
                        Or where it came from
               

                        Is my heart's most fervent passion.....

Praise

I praise Him for the sunshine
And the stars above
I praise Him for His saving grace
I praise Him for His love
I praise Him for the plants and trees
And the smell of lovely flowers
I praise Him for the busy bees
And for April showers
I praise Him for the Summer
And the Winter too
I praise Him for the Autumn
And Springtime all things new
I praise Him for creation
And everything that's good
I praise him that He washed me
Washed me in His blood
I praise him for Poetry Soup 
And all my friends out there
Sharing all their inmost thoughts
In poetry form so dear
