The Hall

Laughter of children and the dull clatter of small feet on aged wood. The congestion of men's voices with talk of crops, rain, and "remembering when". The faintly drowned out sound of a stray hand unafraid to tickle long unused ivory. There, the aroma of well-planned dishes lay in wait to ambush and overwhelm the

CONSECREATED CONFUSED COVERED SOCIAL GATHERINGS-

Crisis spills totally spoils
Comely bombarded ill toils
Consecrated gatherings
Covered social lathering

Sunday Gatherings

The sun is illustrated in pastel hues
washed in a watery light
Mild is the air in my mouth

Standing at the roadside
of a flock of honking family vehicles
I wonder if they are going to church
or leaving church

It's Sunday morning
in the burb's and naturally
God has His hands full

I go visit a little pond
where frogs sing their
creaking love-woos
to lure

November Holiday Gatherings

November holidays in our country
Serve as fellowships for the ministry
Great gatherings toward revival bliss
Never can joyous worshipful hearts miss.

Midst “All Saints’ Day”* is women’s virtue time 
Where Ladies’ conference resounds faith chime
Learning from Scriptures midst trust-propped ventures
Thanking God Who blesses kindness’ gestures.

On the scheduled “All Souls’ Day”** engagement
The men enjoy their soulwinning moment
Sharing the Gospel

New Short Story Posted - Travel Week

I've posted a piece that's longer than the poetry section allows.

In the "Short Story" section. 

I know I could take things out - to make the piece shorter and force it to fit in the poems section - but that length seems arbitrary  *shrug*

Virtual Family Gatherings

Joyous holidays, wondrous indeed
Family reunions of loving bliss
Meeting together gladly as agreed
Every member promised never to miss~~~
Now, each heart reaches for dear Brod and Sis.

Though our scheduled fellowship is virtual
Warmth of Christian spirit does brightly glow
Caring hugs felt with God’s grace so actual
While blessings to share continually flow~~~
Making us thankful* midst pandemic blow.

The Gathering

The Gathering

Brought together.
Late summer along the North Platte
At the wandering river bed flanked by cottonwoods.
They have been drawn, emptying out their small town for the celebration to come.
Driving in Packard’s, Ford Coupes, and old dented red Chevrolet pickups with hay stalks 
and a pitch fork scattered in the bed.

Hot, steamy hot; hot enough to hear

Church People Circumstantial Gatherings-

Circumstances gatherings
Porcelain entrappings
Mr. and Mrs Johns
Keep forgetting to turn their praise on
Photosonic devastating 
Oh! But I just keep perpetuating 
While  those denisions keep on  arriving 
More to this 
This and more 
I am surviving 
Circumstantial gatherings
Keep the people laughing

Gatherings of Spirit Meditation

WHEN SOULS GATHER FOR THE SOUL PURPOSE OF UNION, A BEAUTIFUL THING 
HAPPENS. LIFE AS WE KNOW IT BEGINS TO CHANGE FORM AND OUR MINDS  
FINALLY GIVE US PERMISSION TO GROW WINGS AND FLY. (breathe)
LIKE A BIRD WHO IS STARTING TO UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF SOARING 
AND WHY GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS, WE TOO

Family Gatherings

Mum doesn't do
Family gatherings anymore,
Weddings,christenings and the like,
She's rather go for a walk
Or a ride on her bike.
They always seem
To bring out her worst,
Make her curse
About to burst.
She'd give her own funeral
A miss if she could,
A close call,
But then given a chance
Wouldn't we all.

Gatherings

gatherings in nuances
aching pain in numbnes
once open in window
as dream in one piece

in louder styles accustom
alerts colour sounding high note 
in between winds hope still crisp
inmortal wave as making one piece
