Watches do not work on my daughter or I
The ones we wear unexpectedly die
Our body electricity is different than most
We kill watches the old lady did boast

Here is my boasting I am hosting
If I could I would contrive a spacious
Garden flooded with all roses!
Mesmerizing magical Magenta
Roses! Iconic idealic indigo roses!
And the most bountiful bodacious
Brilliant bluest roses! Which the
Eye can bearlying perceive aah!
Yeah. Nothing. Short of MAJESTIC
REALITY!

Delay by Him has taken its toll,
Waves of doubt rollover the soul,
Despair extinguished the Spirit,
Wax-filled ears would not hear it.
"Listen, you have left My way!
Wait for My providence and pray.
Change of direction is needed."
But His correction went unheeded.
The restless spirit wrests control,
God's will is no longer the goal,
The anxious heart is not ideal,
So, failing eyes, meet banana peel.
Seeking refuge in my enemy's camp,
I was turned into a foolish scamp,
Philistine mouths were agape.
So, I feigned madness to escape.
That was dumb, I'm ashamed to say,
Letting fear and doubt cloud my way.
The Lord's shelter never fails,
His faithful acts tell the tales.
Keep seeking the Lord in a trial,
Relying on Him is worthwhile.
Instead of becoming milquetoast-
In Him, a reason to boast.
"Come children and listen to Me.
Fear of the Lord will set you free!
Wait for Me to settle the score,
David teaches in Psalm thirty-four."

“My Daddy’s profession is the highest!”…
bragged a boy during oration contest
“…He soars up above the sky
and that we cannot deny---
since he does fly as pilot in his best.”
“Indeed, my Father’s work ranks the greatest!”…
boasted next lad with his gesturing zest
“Pilots seek him --- not defy
they can’t lift their heads to sigh
favoring his barber’s cut, so finest.”
With our heavenly Father*, we are blest
Being His children, lovingly dearest
Never bidding us good bye
Lifting faith, trust and hope high
Settled in His compassion’s gracious nest.
*Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. (Third stanza added on March 2, 2022.)

PEN A PANTOUM POETRY
Reminding Spanish flu Pandemic 1918
COVID-19 reigns over the entire world.
Everyone likes it to be free of it,
And to start life all over again.
It has done great wonders in the world,
People who kept away from family,
Forced to join them, to turn to family life.
Crimes multiplying daily has come down slightly.
People lost job, sufferings and deaths,
Multiplied, bringing untold life crisis.
Hearts started moving towards the Creator
Whom they threw out from their hearts and Institutions.
The Creator created us to be with Him,
To enjoy his power of peace and joy,
Maddening search for money and wealth
Caused hearts separate from each other and God,
The more hearts separate from each other and God,
The more evil penetrates the hearts of people and society.
God’s heart pains at such crimes prevalent in the society.
God doesn’t want any human being to lose to His enemy, Satan.
His compassionate heart wants to embrace all.
So, He allowed the natural entry of COVID-19.
It’s doing its round to all who got separated -
From their Creator, the easy victims.

Donkey Neigh flaunted his family, hence Sis, the cat, purred,
"My male ancestors are viewed very well in the Good Book."
Whereupon, Sis drives the point home, "I'll wager you’ve NOT heard,
we cats proudly hail from the Lion of Judah, you schnook!"
"My male ancestors are viewed very well in the Good Book,
we donkeys bore His mother, Mary, to Bethlehem town.”
"We cats proudly hail from the Lion of Judah, you schnook!"
Neigh crows, "Jesus rode grandpa wearing Jerusalem’s crown,
we donkeys bore His mother, Mary, to Bethlehem town.”
Cat nuzzles up to donkey. She chides, "Enough bragging, Neigh.”
Neigh crows, "Jesus rode grandpa wearing Jerusalem’s crown
while those conniving humans planned His fate along the way."
Cat nuzzles up to donkey. She chides, "Enough bragging, Neigh!"
Whereupon, Sis drives the point home, "I'll wager you’ve NOT heard,
while those conniving humans planned his fate along the way,
Donkey Neigh flaunted his family.” Hence, Sis, the cat, purred.

daedal delight dangling
saucy skirmish smoldering
dainty dark drooling
nauseating punctured puking
of salient smirk
la-de-da limbs lurched
buckled bills boasting
lanky lust lustrating
felon feast fondling
eyes etched'n fear
hoisted hankerings' shear
taunted thrill tears
punctured parley pulses
wielded wild whooshing.

I am magical, I said. I can control her.
You cannot!
Yes, I can, and I do.
You do not!
My eight-year-old twin is angry now, with a mean face.
I do not back down. Want to see?
How?
What do you want me to make her do?
Make her come down those stairs.
During Jeopardy?
I am backing up now.
Our mother loves Jeopardy, it is the only TV show she believes in.
I cannot control her during Jeopardy.
I wrack my brain
and it quickly comes up with a plan.
I smack her favorite blue glass vase off the top of the TV set.
There is a loud cracking sound.
My sister’s face turns into a horror movie.
She runs off, screaming “MAWWWWWWMMMMMMMM!”
Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.
See? I think stupidly.
I am magical!
Impulsivity is my middle name.

Trump Boasting About Bridge
Why is it that Trump always does refuse
To pay any of his mortgage and also dues
And tax returns always refuses to show
He is up to will not want you to know.
Trump's form is similar to of a fat toad
With figure impossible to ever forebode
And him it is always easy to see through
Also lies lying in him that grew and grew.
Grew so much until on impact exploded
Head with orange hair appearing corroded
Wants to be creative in each die he does try
And of them in basement is stored a supply.
His belief in God seems to be superficial
You see his name along with each initial
Have heard it was on display in Benghazi
Started show called Trump, Harriet and Ozzie.
To win, Trump decided to declare three trump
And when he bid all of us he sure did stump
The thing that had really torn everyone apart
In him and whole deck we never found a heart.
