Best Zeal Poems
My evening sky glints motifs gold
In orange vibes turned ruby bold
Glowing remnants of shining snow
Where pewter winds merrily blow
Swirling imprints of amber glaze
Bending hues of setting sun rays
Prairies sway season’s dreaded hold
Wailing in grief, as blossoms fold,
For fallen leaves and wintry woe
That shudders trees in frosted throe
While browning pastures cattle graze
Where foothills gleam in twilight haze
When fervor yawns in dreary mold
And garden sighs of parching cold
Pine trees, ebullient, dance in row
Enchanting hearts in nature’s show
While ogling the stars passions blaze
As romance blooms in moonlit gaze
On horizon mauve dreams unfold
Where blush of morn lovers behold
Greeting November's scarlet glow
That tawny dawn's sunbeams bestow
Glistening face of shortened days
Wooing warmth in autumn's malaise

"Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which
the grass of indecisiveness does not grow."
~ words of Khalil Gibran
Musings of this poet often run wild
with a zeal burning like a roaring flame.
The idyllic rhymes must be reconciled
to reveal a poem that bears my name.
With a zeal burning like a roaring flame
there is a fever raging in my heart
to reveal a poem that bears my name.
One that views nature as a work of art.
There is a fever raging in my heart
urging me to script without sleep or rest.
One that views nature as a work of art,
Through fervid passions stirring in my breast.
Urging me to script without sleep or rest,
my muse is overbearing and zealous.
Through fervid passions stirring in my breast,
penned words are vines climbing on a trellis.
My muse is overbearing and zealous
With jewels and gems, my lines are adorned
Penned words are vines climbing on a trellis,
even if they are disparaged and scorned.
With jewels and gems, my lines are adorned.
The idyllic rhymes must be reconciled.
Even if they are disparaged and scorned,
musings of this poet often run wild.

There once was a banana with zeal
Who loved to show off with great appeal
With a peel on the ground

A rib breaking, a painful ordeal

You always chide me,
Though I accept it as carol.
You have had always cider,
Though I enjoy in my havel.

So, I remember your chuckle.
But you thought yourself as a 'Cinderella',
So, you play with flake.
But I came to know ,
You are other's chummy.
And my love for you
Just like a jestingly.
I had a wish to 'Buss'
Where as you described it as a Tu-Whit.
T-Would be ugh for me,
Because for you I've to pay some fee.
I always remember your preety face,
Though you left my hand in race.
Regain to you isn't possible,
It's my error to remove tears fall.
Your love becomes hard to get,
But i only scold to my fate.
Now, nothing stays to say you,
Except a syllble I love you.
I pray with almighty,
Your life may full of happiness and baunty.

Lyricist phenomenally prophetically poeticizing
rIghteous writing sung into my spirit
so Zealous zeal again connected the acrostic dots and filled
my rAising praising pen toward her

the vibrAting vice versus visions, collaspsing, reviving revelation spoke in word tongues
flowing singing shouting verses in my veins.
Awesome stars* are art works of the Almighty
Beauteous midst darkness, sparkling bright
Creation masterpieces supremely crafted
Designed perfectly to serve as eyes’ delights.
Extolling the grandeur of divine excellence
Firmament jewels driving astronomic flight
Galaxy ornaments that mystify constellation gazers
Heaven’s wonders are stars** for promises’ hoisting
Influence-compass intensifying travel-impact
Journey-leader to magi searching the King of kings with joy.***
Kindling reality-awakenings for inquisitive kids
Lights are the stars**** along truth-seeking luminescence
Marvels with wisdom-beam midst queries on magic or mystery
Night’s treasures as “diamonds in the sky” bringing wealth nigh
Opening opportunities to dream and soar with optimism.
Potential inspiration and muse source for poetry
Quiet, yet clear witnesses of victims in their justice-quest
Radiant gems to aspiring champions revealing rewards
Steadfast signs are assuring stars***** against skepticism
Testifying about timeless blessed celestial triumph.
Up above they are stars****** reflecting Christ’s glory ultimately
Victorious in asserting faith that vanquishes vain vision
Watchfulness they show, glowing for guided winning
‘Xcellence marks their illumining expertise surpassing any x-ray
Yes, they are shining in the Scriptures today and yon
Zealously gleaming and glaring with enlightenment’s zest.
*Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

A burning carnal desire,
exquisite fire glowing hot,
is joyful kindling!
Lingering mouths
nourish obsessed passion;
quivering rapture
stimulates the unabashed.
Voraciousness wreaks
Xanadu’s youthful zeal!
For Allright Poet's Abc Contest Poetry Contest
ABC form type one as explained at PoetrySoup's "Types of Poems"
Believers’ paths are paved with God's own zeal;
we make mistakes; it's He who forges our steel.
In winter, rails of the fence are heavy
Snow covers them, just as white as can be
Beauty lands in the landscape, on the trees
It’s white too, lovely, pretty as you please
Snow reflects all colors making it white
Leaving light that is courageously bright
Each snowflake is different, quite unique
Leaving the air brilliant, full of mystique
A stream, still moving along, has some ice
Very cold and frigid, had to look twice
Air has quite a bite to it, a crisp feel
The land is all frozen, the cold is real
Whole scene brings about natural appeal
Snow is like a solid wonderland zeal
Russell Sivey
Alive, alert, alight with the Almighty’s aura
Beautiful, brilliant, breathtaking thoughts bring
Creative, colorful, calming creations to capture
Dreams, dancing, daintily around the dawn delights
Echoing, enchanting, encouraging easy enthusiasm
Feelings, friendly and free, filled with fancy facts
God’s great and glorious gifts to us, who are graced
Heaven’s happy harbor to heal and harmonize in
Inspirations, insights, inclusion in imaginings so
Joyful, jovial, joined with just and justified jots
Keepers, keynotes, kittens worthy of true kindness
Lasting, laughing, loving lights brought to life
Musical, merry, miracles marching to mercy’s
Nature, naked, naïve names for new nations
Open, obsessed, overwhelmed with obedience
Perfect, peaceful, praiseful words to prayers
Quiet, quaint, quality ideas for quickening
Rainy, resilient, relaxing reflections on rapture
Soft, soothing, silence capturing soulful spirits
Talents, trust, time taken to teach God’s truths
Understanding, urgency, useful thinking united
Valuable, vigilant, vibrant dreams visualized
Warm, welcoming, wisdoms whispering wants
Xenias, xanthins, xanthones for marine xebecs
Youthful, yearly, yarns telling of sweet yesterdays
Zestful, zany zones filled with divine feelings of zeal

"There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky." Deuteronomy 33:26 of the King James Bible
Everything can be possible by God’s omnipotence, always right
Anything, yes, through faith in Him brings delight
Nothing is too hard along His truth and might
Something simple by His grace becomes beauty of wondrous sight.
Everybody enjoys good moments
Anybody as well welcomes blessed engagements
Nobody does not like to plunge into discouragements
Somebody must wisely usher others to meaningful involvements.
Everyone regards life as the Creator’s gift of goodness-leisure
Anyone acknowledges its price --- precious treasure
No one denies its value for the Almighty’s pleasure
Someone ought to be reminded of its worth that’s beyond measure.
Everywhere can be a place to share God’s love and mercy
Anywhere indeed with His guidance-fervency
Nowhere should I go against His safety’s constancy
Somewhere is my willing heart where He reigns as Supreme Excellency.
