Premium Member Thanksgiving Table

God’s table is spread for the Thanksgiving feast.  
Guests came in answer to His invitation. 
They gathered from north and south, west and east,  
To thank the Lord God, Author of salvation.

God’s table is spread for the Thanksgiving feast  
Broken bread, posed to all who will receive.  
This my body, rent for you, said Prince of Peace.
Bow before our Savior who has set us free.

God’s table is spread for the Thanksgiving feast  
Cup, new covenant in my blood, said the Lord,
Poured out for many, sins pow’r released.
Let us sing praise to Jesus in one accord.

God’s table is spread for the Thanksgiving feast 
Living water that imparts life eternal,
From this world’s thirst offers heavenly release,
Stands as Host of the table, Christ Supernal.

Premium Member Dessert Invitational

by the moonlight i
take long sips of
its celestial white silk, and
follow the cookie path to
heaven, or
to hell, so
delicious, filled with
lemon cream, and

under the lemonade sun, i
sit upon the donut of
chocolate with sprinkles, a
smile steeped with
jelly and cream, a
beacon of
my childhood dream, but

i must consider the
day and night where
lies the gravitational pull
back to earth and
the crunching of
salad cures the
fingers and eyes, from
mistaken delights. the

orange sun squeezes out
its c, and the yogurt moon
spoons a much happier grin, yet
there’s no sin in an occasional
DESSERT INVITATIONAL win

Premium Member A Fine Day

(Note: My essay on "Knowing Unconditional Love" 
got a first place win in the annual global Invitational 2016 
organised by The Love Foundation -- For a PDF copy, go to
www.thelovefoundation.com website.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



A fine day brings news that delights:
My essay wins the first place honour;
Bright Wednesday with joy in sight,
Feelings within burst fond wonder!


I feel a glow deep in my heart,
Happy fond moods circle around;
Am I asleep dreaming of art?
Winning feels good in these old grounds.


On the website, my name appeared,
I saw the list of winners there;
A precious write I did endear,
Now here's the gist of love that cares.


The theme is love in magic flair,
Love that does heal each living soul;
Yes magic love in man's affairs,
With fond goodwill that makes us whole.


The cause I cite tells what you know,
No obstacle can stop fond reach;
A fragrant bite that goes to show,
Love's miracle now transforms each.


Yes ideas can tell of sure thought,
Let love bring out the best in you;
Poise sparkles trends in play and plot,
It's all about the love in you.

Magic moments meet in surge of fine treats;
Yearning and feeling fund happy delight.
Ideas bloom and greet in dash of fine hits;
Now hurls forth being as becoming sights;
Vistas of wonder bring enchanted feel;
Images bring joy as grandeur floods space;
Time to just wander with zesty appeal;
Appoint sure employ to bridge time and place;
Trust measures outcome with profound clear thought;
Impact follows dream in new light that shines;
Order aligns sum in sound play and plot;
Next comes the brave scheme to fashion new lines;
Art wears a firm voice to hoist and create;
Life dares a brisk poise to flood form and fate.

Living In the Past

The Emancipation Proclamation was put 
into effect in 1863,
That meant freedom for slaves,
the ones who looked like me,
blood, sweat, and bullets were shed along 
with tears,
innocent civilians put through years of hell 
and fed with fears,
nooses invaded necks,
in the home of the brave,
in the home of the slaves,
blood flowing as they gaze,
lynchings were congregational,
often invitational,
white kids kids were taught to look at 
them as merely educational,
he is just another tally in the stat book,
slaves screaming until exhaustion as they 
were made to look,
saliva often found homes on the pits of 
our face,
jeopardizing our case, 
exasperating our race,
if you had children they often vanished 
without a trace,
we were taught not to embrace,
each other in any way,
I know the only way we made it out is the 
good Lord's grace..

Lonely Rose

Petals are spread
 A lonely rose in bed
  Exuding with invitational fragrance 
   With far less preference 
     Remorse is not permitted 
      When choices are limited
