The Pearl
The Pearl
A pearl was formed in a lowly shell
By a painful grueling process.
This goodly pearl was found by a man
Who kept it in his office.
One day it was stolen,
And soon was lost
In a field of dirt and rock,
Until a gardener dug
And found the pearl,
Then placed it in a sock.
He took it home
To give to his

Light of a Goodly Woman
She shows empathy in every kind of way
Compassion parades ahead of her every day
Humanity dispersed as she attends the fray
How can she consistently and always be
Full of love for her fellow beings with glee?
She is as the neighbors and friends clearly see.
Animosity gone, for she is a delight
Indifference to anyone would not feel right.
There is

Anita Presses My Case
Anita had her parents called aside
To press my fervent case
But had herself taken aside
And shown its other face:
She is simply carat gold!
In case she has not been told:
Only A True Hero to her hold,
A treasure not for everybody’s race
And, thus, cause for A Goodly Chase
That should in the end preserve her Grace;
In shot to be

A Goodly, Gainful Thing
"A goodly, gainful thing"
Caribou told me
"To leave, once in a while
Home's high-ground safeness;
To roam, for what as sun-grassed
Lies in wait sweetly
Fills which need, Surprise's;
Feeds on vast Newness."
"And the most jubilant!"
Dragonfly added.
"To up and go, but now
Out which comfort zone
With that relief's burst, once deemed
Unthinkable sped!
Isle-eying, isle-engaged!
Floaty; no more lone!"

The Goodly Poet
You are done with a fill of your say
In a poem with a will and a way
In the whole of your rest
You are full of the zest
That you bring to the start of each day.
As you read the new poem on your plate
And you know that your meaning is great
You are struck by the fact
Of

Wish Her Breath Goodly
Thousands foetus, swim strong and freely
The fortress, the womb well defended
On the spaceship of time one gets opportunity
It's 'She', let her breathe the world's scent
Wish to be in the world's arms, laps
Do not let.....

Goodly Contamination
Nothing is ultra pristine pure
Nothing is completely denuded of contamination
There is always something foreign,
lurking hidden somewhere, in there.
Often being unaware of contamination is blissful,
for the disclosure disturbs the faith and destroys trust
we have in food or drink, air or water.
Why should we care what the fishes do in the water we drink?
It is best

A Goodly Warning
"A Goodly Warning"
by Rachel Heffington
O! Time is a faerie-maid, dark is her dairy laid:
Larders of mem'ry and amethyst lore.
But one kiss from her lips
On your lips as she slips
One cold hand in your pocket will finish the chore.
For her kiss it is sweet
It is death, it is meat
It is sharp as a bone-frost and

On a Goodly Bard's Passing
A goodly bard’s spirit passing in dark sky of night
wafts a long way off into bright radiating light.
Glad honor; God’s choir now starts to sing.
