I
'She's only a bird in a gilded cage,'
so a well-known song has once told.
She married a man well advanced in years
for the sake of his riches and gold.
II
The gentleman died, the cage opened wide,
the following verse is untold,
and a very rich chick was off mighty quick
before her dear husband was cold.

Glorious words,
romantic missives,
Unused obscure
edifying words
created, or
used in fantastically
beautiful ways
by
lexiconic guru,
and vocabulary maestro.
Intimidating
most of us.
Me anyway.
I do not know these fancy words.
Never thought I would need them.
Not sure I even write poetry.
I pour my feelings onto a page
Only using
simple every day
common words
These words I recognize
quickly and with feeling
Street-friendly words
make sense to me.
There might be
thousands of
better words I could use.
Gloriously, edifying
romantical type words,
But for me,
I have to use
Simple, every day
words I am comfortable
using.
Because my eyes
are so over-used
already, I do not
think they can
take any more
romantical, edifying,
glorifying, fancy-dancy words.
Not today anyway.

An edifying life we all ought to live with each thought, word and deed
If we wish a better world to be built by following our Lord's divine creed

Let us, my friend
With each thought, word and deed
An edifying life to live
For
God's love and for humanity's sake!

God glorifying words so in lack
such desires seem not at heart
this is abhorrence to God's law
which commands perfection not a part
The one who commands such things
is perfect in character and holiness
absolutely without flaw or blemish
for He offers redemptive blessedness
So be sure to speak wholesomeness
such communication that's truly pure
words that hold you up respectfully
knowing this God forever will endure
Edifying speech is its result
for it will produce edifying grace
to edify all hear such words
then God and truth do embrace
Ephesians 4:29 (KJV)
( 29. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.)

Summer fades as thunder clouds roll in,
Darkened skies hold lightning bolts within.
Autumn rain shares laughter with the din.
As splashes of hues become akin,
A race in which the sturdy will win.
Leaves dance and twirl like the ladies spin.
I’m so inspired to write again
With my poet’s heart that dwells within.
