Diverting Poems | Examples

Your Experience

It was never meant for us to Judge this Experience,

We Are the Experience of Existence,

The difference,

Within the interference.

Pushing against the resistance,

Leaving a Legacy of our Substance.

Carving characters in time,

Creating your own line.

Take for instance,

Each Instant,

Neutral.

Yours to define,

Uniquely your design.

Every curve and corner,

diverting the color.

The Author,

Writing each chapter.

The Actor,

Playing the Scene.

Encoded within Genes,

Powers go unforeseen.

While fear stays lurking,

Hiding a new way of being.

Time to Intervene,

To get in-between,

Revealing,

Your Experience,

You Are the ONE Governing,

A Physical being experiencing

This Whole thing.

Keep it Clean,

Balance that Machine.

See through the Suffering,

For the Lessons its bringing.

Perception is everything.

Happiness is happening,

When your not Judging,

Your Experience.

Sand Castle

You ran roughshod over my sandcastle
Without a flicker of commotion
diverting the starboard
and finding ourselves
at a yawning  beach

Did you see yourself
as a seashell
Did you cast an enchanted look

There's always a sea song
for a remedy overdue
Shake off the foam
and clear your head

Did you see yourself as a crab
yet noted the World didn't care enough

A person can’t know what their future holds,
but they can know the hand in which it rests.
We oft encounter problems as our day unfolds,
and many times it appears to be a series if tests.

But God has a purpose for the clouds in our day,
sometimes it’s a lesson or to increase our faith.
Many times it’s a reminder that gets us to pray,
briefly diverting our attention to Hell’s wraith.

Instead of whining about some perceived wrong,
we should start each day with blessing counting.
Praying for those things that will make us strong,
for in judgment each will face an accounting.


Premium Member PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS DELIVERANCE

August 11 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 1-3

Key Verse – Jeremiah 1:19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS DELIVERANCE	

Praise be to God for His deliverance: 
Directing us to His will
Defending us from war-wreckage
Disentangling us against worldliness
Diverting us toward His work so worthy
Dealing with us by His Word in our weakness

Jeremiah 2:21 Praise be to the Lord for planting us
as noble vine and right seed:
Brightened though His salvation-righteousness 
Blossoming with His shining restoration
Blessed along His sanctification-revival
Blissful by His Scripture-regeneration 
Blooming in His steadfast rays  

Jeremiah 3:14 Praise be to the Saviour 
for turning us to Him from backsliding to:
Stay in His peace and truth
Seek His pardon so triumphant
Settle in His power with our trust
Set our posture upon His proven testimony 
Show our security in His providence midst trials.  Amen!

The Blag Of An Insecure Lad

Ignorance doesn’t ask questions, 
thinks it’s weak to be confused 
reliance on interpretations 
doesn’t second guess the clues
arrogance shows what it knows 
communicates itself with vigour 
as if surrounded by those slow 
to demonstrate their brain is bigger 
the ignorance that lives in bliss 
the arrogance to know what is 
the brazen need to be the best 
undiagnosed mental complex 
to never admit the error you made 
diverting attention onto another 
critical of how others behave 
claiming all they cause is bother 
call them a hinderance 
but one you will help 
and with great significance 
for nothing your self 
you go from the victim treated unfair 
to the selfless hero who puts himself there 
talk of your friends who cause you despair 
and then be the reason they get anywhere 
as if you’re friends with the lowest creatures 
such stupidity of the mentally weaker 
and suddenly you appear such a great fella 
way up high all above those in the cellar 
but isn’t it so sad 
to look good they look bad 
when you are the perk 
you better the sag 
unaware that this blag 
is of an insecure lad!

Sydney

There we were - Alf and I - Pharaohs,
surveying those white pyramids -
Nests of ibis - ovulating - 
Opera.

Across the bridge we danced,
Swaying o'er the waves below - 
Spectred lovers on a phantom ship -
Drifting snug into port - oh, so were we.

Yes, There we were - Alf, you - left me,
As you cantered away on your white steed.

I'm diverting - like a white capped copper 
By the Circular Quay - away -
From Darling Harbour - rolling -
Onto the Rocks.

Yet, in Neutral Bay,
I - last - heard you say,
You'd be selling me down
At King's Cross.

So bye - my Alfie - it's over -
Just city lights and squalor - for me -
With whisky and history - this old bag lady
Stares dreamily over the sea.

The ancestral shackles I feel - loosening,
Pushed out - by the will to be free.

Premium Member Peaks and Valleys

Everyone enjoys cruising easy street 
Hits keep playing around the clock
Everything flawlessly falling into place
Puzzle pieces effortlessly interlock

Humming along until hit a speed bump
Your momentum derailed by a detour 
Diverting your good vibes off track 
Unsure if you will be able to endure

Then reminded of our ability to bounce back
That has craftfully carried us this far 
Have tackled tough times like this before
Know that we'll be able to raise the bar 

So now when we find ourselves in a rut
Realize that it is shallower than before
Because the bottom begins to get filled in
Restored with resiliency from our core

Flotsam

He was a Professor of Difficult Sums,
Always kept a writing pad near,
Just in case of instant revelations,
With  pencil parked behind one ear.
He could quadrate equations
With consummate ease
And quantum mechanicals
He found just a diverting tease.

He won the Nobel Prize so often
They let him keep the cup,
And he wore designer braces
To hold designer trousers up.
A benefactor of mankind,
Which used his flowing skill
To perfect better weapons with
Much more efficient ways to kill.

He lived in academic obscurity
Until the people learned his name
When he made the perfect mouse trap
Which brought him worldwide fame?
He was sent back into obscurity
When he just went a bit too far
By inventing a pollution free
Everlasting peoples motor car.

He beach combs now in Tahiti
Fitted with a silicon chip link
To wipe his mind of such thoughts
At the speed of an eyelid’s blink
For business is business 
And everyone should know
The worst kind of fool is he
Who disturbs the status quo

Premium Member What Child Is This

What Child Is This
“What child is this”
who came to earth,
knowing earth's ruler
would deplore?

“What child is this”
who came to earth,
knowing His torture
in store?

What Father is this
who loved so much,
to sacrifice His Own
flesh and blood?

A Divine Lamb, who 
on a mountain stood,
offered all Earth-kingdoms
if only He, the status-quo 
would let be? – “What child
is this”, who when Mary, kneeling
at His feet, diverting her eyes, He
spoke: No dear one, look up at Me~ 
take hold of your Brother's Hands
 – and Rise!?

Rushing Fate

Is this the end of all hope?
I feel the ruin of man draw near,
I must raise my sword,
my family lifts it with me,
my wife is there beside me,
my children watch in silence.
I must live through this day,
for their sakes and mine,
Fell deeds await.
My humanity slips away,
the soldiers fall around me,
I hear naught but silence,
an empty stillness surrounds.
Even as my sword swings I hear nothing,
even as I slay I hear nothing.
Then I feel it come,
the rushing wings of black fate,
the end that awaits us all,
The loss of one more man.
The river of death sweeping through the battlefields marks me as a target,
diverting it's course,
the banks are to steep,
I cannot climb out.
The riverbed swells,
the water surrounds.
My thoughts turn to all I left behind,
over the hills and far away a home awaits for me,
and will wait forevermore.

Our Gossipy Lips Have a Zip

Our gossipy lips
Have a shutting zip:
The flying words we quip
We can their wings clip
And the speeches we hasten
On some muteness fasten …

Come the killing desire to gossip
Find some diverting juice to sip
Or restraining wisdom grip,
So that our tongues wouldn’t slip.

Our lips Gossips richly moisten,
As listeners’ eyes fully glisten:
But victims empower to raise hell
By hundred times A Warning Bell.

Away

I did love and worship
Rejecting in hardship
All diverting things

In honor all divine things
I kept 
O how I felt
On these days when I slept
Less yearning for the jest
In hearts

Unthankful is that radiance
Unless humbly I raise
My confessions to bless
My oft sinful soul
