It's back to the wilds, for the unexplored
Panama's island, Pygmy Three-Toed Sloths.
Tree huggers, twenty hours daily, course, lots
of trees. Four of a kind, their fifth, record
as the smallest. Clocked slow, a leaf lasts one
month in its tummies till its slow slop drops.
They're six pounds and twenty inches, a pop.
Furs algae-fied hide them. Swim can be done.
Again, it resurfaces, a world-wide
dilemma, in pictures and portrait drapes
over a posh hotel table of crepes.
Concerned and unconcerned, great the divide.
In twenty-twelve, I.U.C.N., counted ...
less than eighty, now ... they're, unaccounted.
CREDO-POETRY IS AN ORAL ART AT ITS BEST WHEN RECITED
it then becomes a two-way unique one-off.experience .
TRADITIONAL LINE CAPITALISATION RHYME ..in tetrameter (ABBA).YES..
but NOT otherwise as it creates a natural pause (ie it stilts) & thus disrupts the flow
WRAP AROUND LINES are a no-no
they are not visually conducive to read digitally or otherwise!
POETIC NO NO s -acrostic,kyrielle terzanelle villanelle ,pantoum & the 'syllablics'
they can be good for a learning exercise,a bit like scales are important when learning the piano but are too contrived & mechanical IMHO for our art form
PROSE POETRY ok if visually shaped in open form style*
FORMS THAT ALWAYS RING MY BELL shape,emagi & ekphrasis ,imagist Rhyme,alliteration,clerihew,footle&hiku*(both in the singular especially)
*OPEN VERSE uses spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols relies upon 'the one breath limitation' this intuitive cadence pemits the 'reader' (reciter) to respond in an interpretative - interplay unique to the ' happening
The music softly begins to play
The bagpipers leading the way
I have seen where we all have been
We used to be lovers
Now we are lyrics from old songs
We used to dance, and hold hands
Now I hold on to dreams
And yet the music still plays
Old streets, and old roads,
Ancient memories linger on
And here I am, a song in hand
And there you are, an angel’s voice
You have whispered silly thoughts
I feel your heart, and I surely wish
My waiting in the rain, won’t last long
All the trains have passed and gone
Nothing left to see but the dawn
Oceans away, and still I long for the music
The dance, the last romance, hopeless whispers
I have only to caress these thoughts, nothing more

It's better, so better, you better you ought to believe;
It's better, so better, if you just be still and receive;
Of all this worrying, stop and believe, receive God's victory. . .
It's better to believe in Christ;
than a man on a horse, who created that horse;
Again, It's better to believe its right, to repent and too be forgivin;
It's better to believe in Christ;
Than your right?
For He is, yes He is someone to confide In;
Tell your friends, your wife, your husband..
For all humanity can let you down;
But I've found to put my confidence Christ
He won't let you down;
He'll turn that frown;
Around and around, around and around all over forever again;
He will see you through;
If you just let Him do, do what He does;
From man, mankind there can be no greater love;
So put your confidence in Him;
It's better to believe it's right to repent nd be forgiven so you'll have eternal life;
It's better to be living in the life of Christ, to repent and be born again, did I say it is right;
He's the one to rely on;
So nice, get it right He'll save your soul make you whole in His right;
It's better to believe in Christ, than a man on a horse;
Who created the horse well?
It is better to believe its right to repent and be forgiven it is nice;
So nice and right Christ is nice and right;
He won't let you down, He will turn that frown;
Did I tell you this before. . .
He'll turn the frowns around and around and around again all ever forever again;
Jesus is some on to confide In, my friend
He is, Jesus some one to confide in
Merciful Father God someone to confide in;
Abba, Father someone to confide in
My God, My God
Lord Jesus you are someone to confide I;

Caused Steinbeck reword "Mirth" known printed write,
harmony pulse conducts the marooned cell,
though breaks, wisely kept in tune with itself.
The gauge's clicks sway one to soothe its height.
"Each and All", "Earth Song" Emerson's ballad.
Unversed preexist's renewed care recalls.
Harp rhythm strings strum as the organ pedals.
Rhapsody ensures airy suite valid.
Calm reflects symmetry, pleasures belong,
deep voices grants the life-timers acclaim.
Solemn occasions psalm, heartfelt gifts claim.
Unsung Heavenly pace grow the swan song.
invites internal hope vibrates anew,
renewed life rewarded, heartbeat pipes true.
It's barely midday and I'm here shaking
Shaking cause I've not had anything to eat
And I'm here carrying heavy things around
On an empty stomach..
The rent was due last month
And we into a new month I'm yet to pay
The landlord has me in he's radar now
I can't go back home early, I'll get here late
When he's already gone home
Cause if he waits me by the door
I'll have nothing to give him
Cause I've not had anything given to me
The heat is intense today
My body is heating up I feel like I'll blow
So I'm here panting, hoping to cool off
Cause I'm out of air I couldn't keep working
I'm hiding behind this pile of dirt
Cause if the foreman saw me
This would be my last day here at work
And all that money would just go, I have to stay
I never thought this is how life would roll out to be
But it's been rolling and I'm rolling like a stone,
that's lost course, I just keep going
Hoping to hit a wall and maybe my mind would be at ease

The PO£T
Music
The food of love..
To nourish my soul
Keeping me warm,
Dear friend, in the cold.
We dance and sing
Yet you never judge
Or my crazy, wide-eyed
Fantasy begrudge.
Although my frame
May be slow and weak.
You see the truth..
My moves are sleek
With You I'm fleet of foot
And never shy.
No Strictly ballroom
Can deny..
My spirit
Soars on wings again
Like Eagles high..
A flippin' ten.
Oh tuneful friend
Oh dancing Queen of joy
You raise us all
Each girl.
Each boy.
In sleepless dreams
We never yawn
We are Aretha;
Freddie;
Bjorn.
There is no heart without you.
No tune we cannot bring.
No hidden corner
Too dark to sing.
No greyed out human.
No colourless soldier.
No battle lost, with You.
No thing is ever over.
For music brings
Eternal light
Scattering the shadows
Of the night..
Revealing hope
And peace and love.
A gift composed
From high above..
If the curtain closes
I can only say;
When the final meal is music
..then play.

Anna, the prayerful child, has these requests this season to Abba Father:
Bob, her friend-boxer to avoid and never miss a bad dab
Cedec, the street child to attend Camp Mac’s for kids
Dad Dado to be drawn onward the Lord’s will;
Eve, for her series of solos as church’s singer
Filif, as he needs wisdom to judge in the debate on "Borrow or rob"
Gereg to express well his speech entitled “Don’t Harass Sarah”
Hannah for her to be on the top spot in her civic course examination;
Inni, that she be truthful, denying not with “It is I? Is it I?”
Jojoj to invite to Bible study Viv, the diva, avid collector of Scripture items
Kaxak for her kayak venture against unpleasant weather’s party trap
Lilil in her academic level-up pursuit;
Mom May and Madam Maine to offer discount in their My Gymwellness center
Nenen for her new juice business near “no lemon, no melon” shake stand
Obo, to stress clearly his dramatic monologue line: “O, stone, be not so”
Pip and Pop as they enjoy their pool loop swimming lessons with test set after.
Quest for the Lord’s favor is what Anna anticipates in her prayer sagas
Relying in His might does she perform* with faith's deed!
*Luke 1:45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

I believe in God the Father
believe in his spirits
I believe in His son Jesus Christ of Nazareth
Who was birth born to save us
From ourselves I believe in
Those the Angels and demons
I believe in being born again
I believe in the spirit in which we are many
Created and given by Abba Father our God
This is how you can recognize the spirit of God
Forgiveness love and honor every spirit that acknowledges
So is that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God
For everyone whose birth from the Breath of God
and truly believe in his heart that Jesus is Lord
Every spirit that acknowledges this
That Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God
Hallelujah
