Premium Member Christians Like You

You wrinkle up your nose,
At your neighbor's dirty doorstep,
Peering through the grimy streaks,
Upon his window pane.

Making fun, reminding him,
Lest anyone forget,
The shameless way he's led his life,
His only claim to fame.

You point out each and every fault,
Each source of strife, contention.
No one that you know is safe.
You preach and you adjure.

'Cause saving their immortal souls,
Is your main intention.
You want to help them mend their ways,
To turn from things impure.

You don't mean to cause upset,
Don't mean to cause contention,
When you point out their short comings,
With helpful criticism.

You're only trying to help them,
Because you're a good Christian;
But they only feel your curses,
and your spiteful cynicism

Premium Member And God made dogs'

Created as was everything.' God himself did not shy away..From making and moulding not only dogs but every animal
( must i say.?) If you are not obtuse.' I wonder how many really are, you might have noticed the care God took and the
Help that they are, from guiding the blind
To just staying near, even guarding your
Home, and everyday things that bring cheer.' Maybe you do not know of God.?
If so I suggest read ( of Him ) for to stand
In denial is well? Is tantemoumt to sin.'
For any who have no knowledge of the sayings in there.' I will run this by you as i
Do have a duty of care.' His breath made
All present every grain of soil.' All of vegetation even volcanoes that boil, he
Also formed the animals, and humanity too
As a whole ecology..That if His Word you
Hold true.? He pronounced all was good that came out alone from Him.' And gave us great instruction not to be caught in sin
I thank the Lord for His blessings of which
Dogs are one.' And show their humans great affection almost to every last one.'' Which oft can not be said of people to the
Same degree.' In conclusion I adjure the reader when you reflect on God..Respect all that He made to be.' To be but a speaker
Of His knowledge is quite wrong.' He must be in enthroned in your spirit, then your life
Will be well and to Him an offering of prayer or song.'

Premium Member Fun At the Zoo

Antisocial anacondas don't associate in numbers;
Bears and beavers don't become the best of friends.
Civet cats catch rats, so is it any wonder
On doleful dingoes dire dilemmas do descend?
Effete elephants eschew jumping, it's ungraceful;
"Frenching" frogs will never fetch nor wart nor prince.
Beware lest grim gaboons give you a face full;
Hyena's haunting laugh makes haughty hippos wince.
Iguanas ignorantly ignore sunscreen on their eyelids;
Jaguars judiciously adjure a jungle nook.
Kangaroos are kind of cute when they have cute kids;
In Lima llamas leap and lastly look.
Mountain lions may masquerade as pumas;
Nimble narwhal's noble spear's his joy and pride.
Opossums opt not to oppose those "play dead" rumors;
Prosaic penguins probably take leglessness in stride.
Quails quibble querulously in quorums;
Raccoons rinse their rations when they eat.
A snail can wreak some slimy harum-scarum;
Tarantulas tout tasty toads as treats.
Urutus usually undulate in jungles;
Vultures vainly vote for haute cuisine.
A wildebeest's a waggish work somebody bungled;
Xeric xenops don't exactly tan, they just stay green.
Yenta yaks may yell and yowl when they feel chatty;
Zany zebra's zoned in black, or white, if you prefer.
I pray this piece will play and not seem "catty",
SPCA's raucous ridicule I'd rather not incur,
For these bits of critterary trivia, A to Z,
Are things I never learned from Marlin Perkins*, R.I.P.

*For those of you, dear readers, who may not know, or who may not remember, Marlin Perkins was the host of the long-running NBC nature series, "Wild Kingdom", which aired on Sunday nights from 1963-1971.

An Adjuration From Azure Skies

A   Azure heavens charged with God’s delight
N   nestle fine-spun ‘round the radiant sun.

A   Adjuring men to look up outdoors -
D   directing hungry eyes towards blue skies,
J    just for a few moments every day.
U   Utopian azure blues can defuse
R   restless moods and cantankerous minds.  
A   Azure laced with white clouds, a pleasant sight
T   to behold and laud the Lord’s glory.
I    Insights adjure praise as you fix your gaze
O   on the divine splendor of nature;
N   now, let peace and tranquility increase.

Come forth! 

From that square lifeless wood

I adjure you

From the breast of your capture cease.

Dare nature's will and power

To hold you still

Fight from within you

And break those shackles

Of audacious cruelty.

Loose yourself from the bond

Of death's hostility

Can you hear me? 

He that was pronounced dead

Living on our minds like a dream

Stop our grief and shame

The veils of darkness.

Come forth! 

From the grave.

The earth's empty by your leave.

Rage! Howl! ! And Awake! ! ! 

Empty the grave at this command

Break the doors! Loose the grips! 

Come forth! 

If there are ears in the dark, 

Then out as we wait

The Virtue of Hope

We supplicate her when we mourn
She is the rose and we the thorn
to those who sorrowfully grieve
alone, bewildered and forlorn

She offers sinners a reprieve
and comforts sad hearts that aggrieve
Lifts us up when we're feeling down
In her we must deeply believe

She can remove a worried frown
Rescue us when we start to drown 
Grant us the courage to endure
A saving grace without a crown

Humbly, do we pray to ensure
our faith is virtuous and pure
This Christian virtue we should seek
For hope we pray. God, we adjure

He blesses the modest and meek
who are weary, fragile and weak
But with hope as a dividend
our lives will no longer look bleak

On our Lord's love we can depend
Hope He provides as a godsend
to ease fears and anxieties
God is our Father and our Friend

Premium Member To My Seductress Duchess

These, cacophony that beggars descriptions

Disorder from indecent breed incubating, 

Confusion of morals, the imposition of strange culture, 

Filthily dressed to undress my mind, 

Our teacher teaching theories of writs and wits

These promiscuous pastors parading piety with nudity

Lewd licentious and libidinous species luring laurels with drama, 

These traditional priests tutoring the innocent as the skilled orthodox guru

Folly forming and fuming fire on the podium of cerebral

These gangs of immoral breeds hovering over men with enthusiasm

The sick physician administering drugs on the ignorant, 

These, 

A coup against Coleridge, 

Wired Wordsworth, 

Barron as Blakes

Shapeless Shakespeare, 

With excessive deluxe paint like a red zone hawker, 

These fashions clogging the pump of poetic flow

With the garbs of a seductress

Allays my feet to the "gutter-most" pit of whores

These, who feigned folly as fashion forcing Mr Flesh, to a quickie,

Teach me the lyric and lines and morals too

Inspire my curious heart in poetry and NOT the contours of shapeless show

Evoke in me a desire and arouse my intellect and NOT to lust

Induce me with scintillating lyrics and NOT to the nightmare and dreams of a succubus 

Tempt my heart to scholastic loyalty and NOT to the apple of Eden

Conjure the parley of mutated minds with words

Come again to the conference in art and rags of skilled minds

I adjure you, be Natural

Premium Member Kitty Litter

KITTY LITTER

Kittens tumble to and fro,
From room to room, just watch them go.
Attack the curtains at first light,
The sheers put up a mighty fight.

Ninja kitties, assassins four,
Quietly steal across the floor,
Suddenly, quick as a flash,
They charge the loo in one mad dash.

The toilet paper is their goal,
In a furious fight they subdue the roll.
Entering I can't adjure,
They've made the bathroom all secure,

From things that lurk within the folds,
Hiding in the tissue rolls.
Four furry warriors, undisputed,
Whose courage cannot be refuted,

Patrol the house in search of that,
Which could cause harm to ken or cat.
What would I do without this troop,
You must admit, they're just too cute.

                                                    Judy Ball

Premium Member Battle Against Slothfulness

Looking at the mirror with good day’s pleasure
I see slothfulness’ glamour gripping me with delight’s leisure
Yet ready to attack my sense of honor for me to defy time-worth’s treasure
So defiant; not a generous donor offering me gift that costs much pressure!

Now, I challenge you, my indolent suitor, upon your procrastination’s grandeur
I’m aware of your wastefulness’ color since my schedule you want to injure
I fight you for putting me in meaninglessness’ rigor against unjustified torture
Dampening my work-ardor by your entertainment-indulgence culture!

Face now my determination fervor straightening your laziness-posture
I vanquish your terror that’s underestimating my devotion-measure
See how I combat fruitlessness’ horror in striving for a productive future
While trusting God with His grace-anchor, I press on by His might so sure!

Don’t shake me with doubts’ tremor; I confront you upon truth’s nurture
You'll be overtaken by my Conqueror… just prepare for a painful capture
Never dare me; you’re a deceitful actor trapped inside reality’s exposure
I’m controlled by the Victor Who has mastered very well human nature! 

Along my stewardship’s armor, I smite you with discipline-censure
Having the Lord’s good favor...  I win against your lethargic displeasure
Upheld by His strong succor, I subdue your destructive gesture
Trained by my champion Mentor... I arise toward faith-performance venture! 

Thus, by diligence-motor, ...you, spirit of the sluggard*, I adjure
Yield to the task-commander’s tenor …follow work-ethics’ procedure
Escape from vanity’s galore …be prodded to toil and endure
Girded by hardships’ candor …stand up with zealousness-feature!

Opponent of losing savor, Surrender your worthless seizure for healthy cure
Accept that you’re beaten by genuine labor midst your impatience-tenure
I thank my Savior for righteous valor making me win on persistence juncture
Guided constantly by the Director, I persist in His triumphant service-pasture!

*Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
