HYMNODY
We sing a song of Easter praise
in Hallelujahs raised,
of thankfulness for grace-filled days
with lifted hands,always.
We witness today,His good news
on a tree,slain for us,
rememberance of His stripes and pain
in that death,we live again.
A Comforter,for one and all
empowers,if we call,
close by,at hand,within us now
as,in worship,we bow.
Far and wide,these truths we forthtell
in our joyful hallel,
these songs of Easter praise now heard,
we tell the Gospel word.
Note:(ichthys), or XIesoûs Khristós, Theoû Huiós, Sot?r;translates into English as 'Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior'

symbols of my mood
a sense of the artistic
without
apparent function
repeats of significance
pass by
unnoticed
unmuted
colours
the pastoral splashed
with personality
the miniscule
becomes
a colossus
a wasteland
in white
derelict
deformed
separated
space devoid of people
where
the message matters
isolated
lonely
a creature of habit
in a semidream
of
surprise&alarm

8, A Trait Higher than Nature
Every Year Sing "Hallel" on July "11's",
A Stroke Grew Tall, Into My Life's Elm,
Prior, in 2005, Our Chassuna Dance!
Now, Our Foot "Pattie Cake" is Seldom.
8 Denotes Transcendence,
Judaism is Not in the Natural Realm,
No Nature's Laws Correspondence,
"Ayn Ode Milvado" has the Helm!
"Rise Above Our Nature" Ascendance,
Assorted "Odd Bod'" Handicaps, "Jell 'Em!"
In Sum, Obstacles Aren't Iron, Look Askance,
Serve Hashem "B'Simcha", Attitude "Quells 'Em!"
Never Say Never nor "Defeatist Chants",
Transcend the Adverse, Surprise Them,
Purim "MeSheloach Manos" to Enemy Stances,
Make Friends, Try to Opponents Stem!
You'll Get Disbelieving Glances,
Shrug Them Off, Saying "Amen & Ahem!",
Sincerely Sing "What Are the Chances?",
Keep Trouble Off Balance, "Tzoros" Amend!
"More of You is Emerging!" Barbara Announces,
I Ask Myself "Is This the Coma's End?"
My Wife & I, One Another Enhances,
Marital Bliss, We Each Other Send!

Alright, you guys, it's 'Passover-Seder-time!'
First we party -- Drink a whole glass of wine.
Wait, wait, wait. Back-up. We gotta tell the story:
Ask all those questions; Describe God in all His glory.
Hey, hey, story's over. It's time for the meal.
NOW we can celebrate: Eat and drink whatever we feel!
Oh, no. I forgot. We didn't say Hallel. *
Gotta sober up quick. Can't be a m'challel. **
What's this now? More wine? A third and fourth cup?.
My head is swimming. This gig is up.
My eyes slowly close
My head hits the table;
Sure hope this whole night
Wasn't just one great big fable!
* "Hallel" is Hebrew for 'Praise," a Song of Praise, sung after the Passover meal.
** A m'challel' is Hebrew for 'desecrate' - to profane that which is sacred.
