~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A warrior saint came from the plains of rural France,
a beautiful maiden named Joan, dressed in simple clothes,
not of noble lineage, but of modest beginnings
her faith unmatched.  

Shielded by heavenly whispers, 
she took up a religious cause~

Pope Joan and Joan Of Arc

Pope Joan and Joan of Arc
Mysterious women 
Both known 
For their parts

For hundreds of years
Hidden by history
But time would reveal
What some would not let be

Women dressed like men
Having Divine reason
Chosen by God
Each in her season 

The Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries
Is where each lived
Did one know the other
Or was another life lived

Saint Hood and disgrace
Would divide
Their

Joan Of Courage

Woman, you can stand
On your own two feet
If you had smile to cherish
You wouldn't hurt anything
Not even a husband is needed.

Joan

Joan
She sits in the gloom of her freezing cold room
A room she can’t heat anymore
Her larder is bare but she never goes there
For she doesn’t eat anymore

Her late husband’s medal lies there by her chair
How bravely he’d fought for his land
She doesn’t caress it as she used to do
For the medal has slipped from her

Joan of Arc

There was a lady named Joan of Arc.
Who, so sadly, was lit by a spark.
It's too bad that she died,
but let's see the bright side.
She magnificently glowed in the dark.

DARBY AND JOAN

DARBY AND JOAN

I saw a sight this morning I swear to you is true
And I thought I’d put it into verse, the way we poets do.
I have to do it quickly, while it’s still fresh in my mind.
So no time to count the iambs nor to search for the perfect rhyme.
An elderly couple passed by

Sunday's Cold Feet

Sunday's cold feet

My mind can go out for a journey
It will relate to things I've seen and fill in the gaps how I would if I couldn't see
As I see things I see no good and I see no bad
I need not tax my mind with have or have not
I prefer to struggle as I

Dear Joan Letter

You said I'm the one yet you're bad in math,
You with someone sent me on a warpath,
Physical brouhaha, caused a bloodbath,
Think twice is a plus in the aftermath,

My Tribute To Saint Joan

Saint Joan like us, was flesh and bone
to sinfulness and error prone.
Through grace descending from God’s throne
her life revealed she was his own.

 Mother in Israel was she
while fostering her flock of three. 
No matter what the plight or plea
she ministered to all for free.

As Jesus did, she sowed good seed
in willing hearts, that gave

My Aunt Joan

*NOTE: (Her name is actually pronounced Jo-anne)

My Aunt Joan, with dark sparkling eyes, was my FUN aunt! 
The baby girl of her family (my mother was the eldest),
Joan and her husband Clifford lived in a small town 25 miles away.
I loved going there, especially being dropped off for a week in summer!

The Friendship of John and Joan

This is a friendship I would like to develop
from their time periods so different indeed
Joan the brave warrior for God's cause
John valiant for truth poor souls to feed

Joan, John says what was prison like?
being interrogated before the final trial
well says Joan one just felt God's near
felt His strength to stand firm and no denial

Now, John,

The Coming Together of John and Joan

On a day a number of centuries ago
John Calvin met the great heroine, Joan of Arc,
they both had much indeed in common
in their lives, on God's side, they made their mark

Both were born and came from France
so language was not a problem at all
they had both been mightily used of God
humbly both bowed to obey

Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc
 A fearless warrior who made her mark
 By defeating England, the victory clear cut
 She also inspired the "bob" haircut
