They were dynamic, their harmony was fine!
They had pared down to four, from the original nine.
The five who could not sing had pneumonia that day.
We applauded these Corgis in every which way.
They sang Joy to the World and Jingle Bells too.
Adding a bit of jazz, and then Christmas Wee Woo.
They were amazing, and we could not stop clapping.
At the end these Corgis did a bit of back slapping.
The silence between the notes
Of this, their joint heart's singing
Love, through pretty speeches
There, Time hangs. A moment, full
Of the eternal. When fate
This, from both, beseeches.
Asking for permission or not
Poetry teaches life to be further agreeable...
Life even knowing nothing,
provides poetry with the means of
transformation... Thus, in this symbiosis,
one with its harsh nature,
the other with its tenderness...
Both are nourished
with the means for harmonizing... !
mainstay life fulcrum
that harmonizes all systems
light, warmth flaming sun
In tune for blest reverential worship
my heart’s harp gives praise to God Almighty
awed by His great loving relationship
offered with rich gracious mercy’s bounty.
Midst triumphant harmony bringing bliss
my heart that trusts the Lord sings victor’s hymn
confessing sins, His pardon I won’t miss
vanquishing guilt against distressful grim.
Sounding sweet melody of gratitude
my heart abides safe in the Saviour’s light
seeking to please Him by faith-fortitude
while reaching-out upon service delight.
I pray for heart*, filled with musical peace
throbbing along joy of contentment wealth
such heavenly rhythm that does not cease
against pressures upholding divine health.
*Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

8th place, "Heart Harp Harmony" Premier Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Chantelle Anne Cooke; judged on 3/6/2021.
I wake up in the morning and
open the window to hear the
harmonizing birds singing to me,
an all-feathered chorus free of charge,
perched upon a stage of stately elm trees,
tweeting from the spreading of the limbs,
at first a faint sound and then another
until a refrain is heard throughout the yard,
I am pleased to hear their sound knowing
that life is more than a commercialized
environment in which there are gifts given
without conditions.
When I sing a song
please stop laughing so damn loud...
Karaoke Blues.
wind chimes harmonize
takes me away from the norm
back to simpler times
Desire to be one’s own master…
Desire abstinence from emotional disaster…
Omnipresent ohms open obstructed oneness…
Practice this high vibration; THANKSGIVING,
Free from self absorbed temptation…
Mirror the message from space…
Expansive reflection from inner, enfolding the outer place…
Growing plumes of energy create transformation…
Learn the path to the spiritual cocoon station…
Love yourself for who you are…
Others druthers for you, keep afar…
Focus existing for that which is true…
Embracing each moment anew…
Fun this living as a planetary blotch…
Pure beauty seen in simple hopscotch…
Desire this way throughout the life…
No longer shall you be married to strife…
