The Friar's Heel beside the way
tilting toward the stones arrayed
at Stonehenge where the Devil played
and tossed the monolith that day.
Zareba formed of massive stones,
encircled 'round the Devil's throne;
but on the meadow Heaven owned
transparent light of Angels shone.
Back to the cave, the gate to Hell
they chased the Devil - in he fell;
the burning hovel where he dwells,
and all the bells of Heaven knelled.
How admirable the war on high;
now from the light in solstice sky
and Angel's love he could not hide,
nor faith and hope could not deny.
The Gift, a bounty all can share
was left for us forever there;
to all mankind - to all who care
to lift their hearts in peaceful prayer.
Inspired by Milton's Paradise Lost, 11,000 lines of Blank Verse in iambic pentameter - this, however, is monorhyme in iambic tetrameter
Contest: Autumn's Many Colorful Moons
Sponsor, Daniel Henry Rodgers

Autumn is easily the season I like most;
But for more than just the climate reason.
Sure, Autumn is much to do about weather,
But the reason for its popular appeal is
so much more.
Perhaps I can name that tune in two words.
I'm thinking about Dispatch and Anticipation.
But the musing goes back to my childhood;
Permeated with the bitter and the sweet.
After a prior period of four months of hard labor
in heated fields of cotton, Autumn brought the fragrance
of relief. Autumn released a feel of 'finish' that until then,
was a season permeated with the feel of 'A never ending story'.
Autumn meant DISPATCHING of hard labor and fields of cotton.
It was the time to put behind things undesirable.
ANTICIPATION'S bounty had finally arrived to make one smile.
The sweet aromas of festivities was flowing in the air now freed
from sickening smells of crop dusting and insecticides. The
spirit of Gratitude inhabited the culture with the giving
of thanks for little or for much. And just over the horizons
was the very best time of the year. Festivities bathed in the
pool of giving and loving. Christmas! The Jolly Season!

Sunlight at an angle dancing through colored leaves
Cool nights to snuggle beneath the sheets; warm days of ease
Last of gardens harvest; goodbye to summer's bees
Joyful time to harvest soon days a breeze
Pumpkins, winter squash, turnips, and peas
Food in bounty stored away for many days
Christmas will be upon us in just a very few days
The yard will be raked again and again to rid of leaves
Garden vegetables will be stored also cooking of peas
For right after Christmas comes New Years Day with ease
The howling winds will blow and it won't be just a breeze
But now all the bugs have disappeared_gone are the bees
We will not have to worry with yellow jackets or bees
As the night grow longer and shorter the winter days
March soon will come in bringing its strong breeze
Those indominable buds show forth on the trees soon leaves
We will float into warm days and beauty of spring with ease
Now we will have eaten most of those delicious peas
Soon in the newly planted garden_those early June Peas
Newly hatched from their hiding places comes those bees
Just lying around in the hammock with all this ease
These wonderful times_joy of longer days
Joy, oh! joy and joy again with spring's green leaves
Soft and gentle comes a blowing spring's warm breeze
But there is one less chore now for there is no raking leaves
Afternoon in the lazy hammock oh what ease
Glad that in the garden and Pampas Grass stay those bees
These times in life are just fun and a zephyr breeze
Summer comes with the picking, shelling, and freezing peas
These times are wonderful long sunny days
But soon slowly fade, then the change in those leaves
Summer still has a lazy few days with comfy ease
Even if the pollen draws those hungry stinging bees
From the west and north come a much drier breeze
How thankful that we have those great peas
Soon fade those longer sunlit sunny days
No raking leaves in winter, only by firelight with ease and read
All those pesky bees gone now, on the currents winter's breeze brings flurries
Now dine on peas put away to eat on cold fruitless days of old man winter
Attending a Greyhound Dog race
Blowing dust in my face
Placing a bet
Hoping no regret
The race was about to start
Soon it will be a race of determination as a depart
The gates will soon hound’s maneuver
It will be swift and quick
Chasing an electronic rabbit encouraging them on
Those Hound’s never catch
They are kicking up dust in the wind
The speed using their legs
Every ounce of endurance
The Hound’s going around bends with assurance
Mustering who is the winner to be
Keen eyes like an eagle and wise like an owl
The race will soon come to an end
The victor will be announced
The last stretch
The winner is “BOUNTY”
Best of the best
Champion in cheers
Won my bet
Right choice having no regret.
Friends may not go together.
But friendship is a splendid feel endures forever.
You may toil the whole day.
Sharing a few words with the pal takes your stress away.
Friendship is a treasure
That renews your pleasure.
A friend backs you up in your efforts
And applauds your accomplishments
From the crony’s eyes, tears roll,
Who never accepts your downfall.
A chum can read the untold stories
And find ways to put a check to all your worries
Pray God not for a bounty.
Beg Him to send you a buddy.
Get a friend, who is dearest indeed,
You won’t be in any need.

January 7 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Genesis 22-24
Key Verse – Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
HEART THAT TRUSTS GOD FOR HIS PROVISION
God enables our heart to trust His provision with His certainty
As we seek His affirmation of His loving authority
Through our prayer-supplication’s serenity…
Now, we rest in His satisfaction’s bounty.
God enables our heart to trust His provision with His quick readiness
As we beg for favour in His sight along our neediness
Through our faith’s steadfastness…
Now, we depend on His graciousness.
God enables our heart to trust His provision with His compassion
As we yearn for His pleasures to fill our lack of possession
Through our departure from vanity-oppression…
Now, we thank Him for His resources’ precision.
God enables our heart to trust His provision with His holy way
As we believe that there is nothing too hard for Him as He does say
Through our life-building pursuits everyday…
Now, we cling to Him with His time appointed of no delay.
God enables our heart to trust His provision with His mercy
As we repent toward His righteousness-fervency
Through our stewardship and service-persistency…
Now, we turn to Him from slothfulness-occupancy.
God enables our heart to trust His provision with His contentment
As we depart from consuming iniquity’s judgment
Through our freedom from pride’s entrapment…
Now, we come to His offered peaceful preservation-settlement.
God enables our heart to trust His provision with His fellowship
As we learn from His wisdom in our discipleship
Through our submission to His leadership…
Now, we surrender to Him toward praise-filled worship.

Bree Black bought Blythe six sets of sheets,
which Blythe soon sold to Susie Shoop.
Sheet seller Susie was so fleet.
She sold, for more, to Clista Coop.
Then choosy Susie bought brown cleats,
fine fritters, and pre-shrunk silk skirts.
Blythe blew her bounty at the mall.
Bree Black found out and was quite curt:
“Sheet slighter, Blythe, you gal with gall,
next time I’ll buy myself chic shirts.”

Daybreak’s sun awakens a pristine day
My muse somersaults with felicity
Unmarked canvas thirsts eccentricity
Spring flaunting her mesmerizing bouquet
Flirty summons through a garden gateway
May’s perfume is the most seductive plea
Like an intoxicated honeybee
I jump to greet my first vacation day
The calm after the rain jostles my heart
A swift flourish of aromatic blooms
A bounty of inspiration for art
A rave burst of happiness to impart
Concocting to create precious heirlooms
It’s perfect time to play Spring by Mozart

~
water ...
as home to me as air
to slip through the day like ether
the cool aqua hugging
bounty of life and wonder and joy
depths as dark as midnight
mysteries of a fathomless complexity, keen
let my spirit run the waves!
let me bound and frolic the reefs and rolls!
let me breathe the air, divine
and sing to the stars, reflecting ...
let me stir the phosphorescent brine
and paint the sullen swells with glowing magic!
let me fill my gut with salty abundance
and dance atop the foamy blue ...
sweet sun on my back
and my pod about me in joyous fellowship!
laughing, smiling, thinking, playing ... Calypso's caretaker
I am of the sea, and the sea is of me
we are as one as the moon and moonlight
I am its lover and liege ...
it is my food and family ...
I am the bearer of its grace
its conduit to the air
the ocean's playful paramour
diving ... dancing ... daring ...
dolphin!
