Kyrielle Poems

If there was no poetry?
Life would be numb.
If there was no poetry?.
Life would be dumb.
If there was no poetry?
There would be no freedom of expression.
If there was no poetry?
It would be a transgression.

How could we inspire?

Let not the church, nor the people, 
Let not the songs, nor the steeple.

Or listen to the birds...Read More

In childhood's wondrous realm I'd learned
How Your bright flames inside me, burned,
And knew, while those fires cooled or grew,
Thru faith, my heart was bound to You.

I'd shared my dreams to life's sweet cares,
And though...Read More

Poised at the universe’s edge,
In consternation, I allege,
“I’m lost, Dear Lord.” I beg and plead,
“Just show me the path; I’ll proceed.”

My wounds of indecision bleed;
Just show me the path; I’ll...Read More

I am writing letters home,
And will enclose in each a poem.
Here is my selection
For my verse connection.

I think for Maybelline
My best Alexandrine,
Six syllables per line,
That I'll polish till they shine.

Something different for Fritz,
I am sending him a Blitz,
I've not written...Read More

In humble lays a kingly birth
Redeemer of women and men
His love endures...Read More

Stone, parchment, and the printed page,
The Ten Commandments we engage,

Praise thy name for our daily bread.

Before his birth in a manger
His complete life, he faced danger,
Without him, then we will all dread,
Praise thy name for our...Read More

Remember what the prophets said, 
Messiah would raise up the dead. 
There 's life beyond what we can see, 
For Christ came down to earth for me. 

What faith, indeed, did Mary show, 
Through every high and every low. 
The...Read More

each mountain, forest, lake or shore.

Built from nothing has everything come from love
This earth, the sun, the moon and all stars above
By Thy word commanded, the world was wrought

Suffered faithful, our souls to win.

Who provides hope, conquers all strife.
He rose again; His spirit soared.
All glory belongs to...Read More

With a heavy heart I embrace 
Willingness to come forth efface
All my many unspoken crimes 
In the name of our Jesus Christ.

Can you rhyme anytime?
Are you silent like a mime?
Do you prefer lemon over lime?

Can you dance or cut loose?
Can you make a dollar out of dimes?
Have you...Read More

The chance to sing Your Praise and serve

My self-examinations pained
How can I summon up such nerve? --
The...Read More

In your role as mother or wife
Father, brother, big or small
At life’s many trips and...Read More
