Jueju Poems

Red robins serenade spring
extolling its warmth they sing.
And on a grey somber day
their songs chase the blues away.

As April rains quench spring’s thirst
cheery robins arrive first.
And decked out in red and black
bring a splash of summer back.

Deer gives me a gentle nod
Stepping daintier than plod
I smile a sweet hello
We do not have far to go

A sharp stick broken warns her
Bolt and gone in October
Autumn day with leaves so fair
Wise coolness in the air

Welcome to “Octoberfest”
Gatherings with fun-filled zest…
Grand reunions, sweetly warm
Team buildings boost bonding charm.

Dining sprees are everywhere
Loved ones mingle here and there…
Yes, I praise God* for friendships
Kindling caring partnerships.

 
*Psalm 150:1 … Praise God … in the firmament of his power.

Gazing at the moon’s beauty
Assures me great certainty:
This bright celestial wonder
Appears through God’s grand order.

Its fullness brings warm delight
Midst night’s* glow of subdued light
Offering serene moments
Meditative engagements.

Beholding moon’s bashful smile
Makes my muse linger awhile
On lunar news: facts or fake
Like Halloween...Read More

Instilled with Bible stories
Wrought by God-driven gestures
Of faith-anchored victories
Our kids doubt mermaids’ ventures.

Aware of true creation
They know mermaids are men’s tales
Amusing recreation
Showing beings of fish tails.

Having learned Scripture verses
They saw Jonah’s great sea-trip*
Was caused by God Who blesses
Not by mermaids’...Read More

Beckoning on willing heart ,

A spot of fresh blue water
Flows off rocks backs jewel covers
Fossils of dormant brown doubles
Captivate earthen brothers

Mining, panning gold treasures
Jewel covers rocks pleasures
Dunged up hammered measures
Crystal blue waters pressures

Midst mocking injustice-sight

Since His judgments bring delight
Settling gray from back and white.

I do not envy the young
deceived by a silver tongue.
Inflated egos swollen,
their innocence was stolen.

They will confront climate change,
and the weather will seem strange.
Their future's no mystery,
jungles will be history.

They will witness oceans rise
as any chance for peace dies.
Their dreams...Read More

What Faith Implies


Although you believe in God
you’re both befuddled and awed.
And yet, you still pray to Him
whenever prospects look grim.

Regardless of what you’re told,
faith cannot be bought or sold.
But when you feel you can't win,
it's difficult not to sin.

Once you...Read More

Vapor mistily spits drops;
Within the moment of sunrise;
the lightening stops;

Water rains down again falls;
From the cloudy skies;
Evaporates air, dries;
Thunder shakes and stalls;

Carnival 4th of July
Rides so fun, they make you cry.
Children screaming in high pitch.

Can’t win games, due to the pitch.
