Joseph Poems

Milton was misguided’

A man who wrote with strokes so bold’ of the
Struggle of humanity.. Long may his excerpts
Be told’ he helped write the American constitution, all his writes are original; and Often Concerned with restitution.. Yet too much
To satan I see he gave, with that line on ruling
A error (most grave!) though he was only human as

Ballad for my daughter Demilade Ayomiposi Malia Joseph

Demilade Ayomiposi Malia Joseph by Adejola Joseph an award winning poet. Author of Cracks On The Walls .
Demilade
Spring out of ocean
Water in the desert
My sweetest princess
You are the epitome of beauty
Virtuous than all the glamours of rubies
My daughter
My pearl
I love you so much
I love you.

Fire - Joseph Wright of Derby - 1395

The fire was an obvious choice of landscape art for the painter to accentuate the effect between moonlight and smoke filled sky so dark.
A canvas illuminating the power of vivid red hot to stark.

Depicted the conditions, unbearable and the growing flames are fanned by the breeze.
The artist gives life to the power of fire creating

Pageantry
 (I TOO AM JOSEPH  SON)

Speculatory travesty 
I fell down on my knees
 I stood before the tree
 I should have been on the tree
 
But the grace of Jesus the grace of my Father El Shaddai found me

And maybe I should have been blind after I came after brother him 9 months

ROCKET MAN - FOR JOSEPH MAY

Trump Tosa and his musky rat
Top buddies - (we’ll see about that)
Trump’s proved he’s not quitter
Counting votes from X (twitter)
Next Potus should be Democrat!

Con Trumpster has fallen from grace
He’s pleading  “Launch me in to space”
Send me off to Mars
I’ll escape prison bars
And Musk Rat has a smile on his face!

Soon spaceman Trumpy’s in a

CELEBRAING VETERANS- JOSEPH LEE HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY

I took a ride today
Stopped at the cemetery
And looked to the skies
Then lowering my head and hands
At the American Legion section
I saluted the remains of those soldiers
WW1 WW2 Korean Vietnam
All the vets!
Hallelujah thank you for your service
Salute
Praise God for you who now sleep
Ever present
 with the Lord Our God
You remains bones in the grave
Not your

Joseph Robinette Biden Junior

The last prescient perspicacious politician, 
who presided at the White House
ran out of office despite victorious landslide win
most Democrats gave their signed, 
sealed, and delivered grudging approval, 
but could not stem the crowdsourced 
riptide of repudiation, a buzzfeeding, 
and deafening chorus 
of dyed in the wool rambunctious raconteur

You are old, Uncle Joseph

You are old, Uncle Joseph,
your short stepping gait
has aroused much comment
in the media of late.

My steps  may be short
but I still get along.
Like Johnny Walker
I'm still going strong.

You are old, Uncle Joseph.
If  I err, please forgive..
Your memory, they say,
somewhat resembles a sieve.

Being forgetful isn't so bad
and  let me  tell you why.

To Joseph

Who do you call
when there’s nothing to share
How do you act
with tomorrow unfair

What do you dream
when your sleep is deprived
Why are the questions
though answered, contrived

When did your wonder
wander away
When did the path
eternally stray

How did the moment
slip over the line
How will you tell me
— your memory gone blind

ANY SONG - Joseph May Contest

Well "Hello darkness, my old friend,"

Time for the sea and sky to blend.

Daytime work will come to an end,

And now homeward bound I will wend.



At night with tired workers, I blend.

Well "Hello darkness, my old friend."

"Through narrow streets of cobblestone."

In a crowd and feeling alone.



"Are written on the subway walls",

Phone numbers that no-one recalls.

Well "Hello

Turnaround

Genesis 50:20 (KJV) “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.”

Sold into slavery, mostly a child himself,
Joseph must have felt such anguish.
His heart despaired – see for yourself…

When his owners sold him to the

Journey of a Contemporary Joseph

Author’s note: The following is in haibun form—poetic prose (microfiction with less than 200 words in this case) coupled with a haiku. It was written in response to a writing prompt to (re)tell a Christmas story in local (Michigan in this case) contemporary terms.
