Long Chapter and verse Poems

There once came a day
when the world took flight
('twas only a handful
who gaped at the sight)
For when she spread her wings
so few could believe;
and fewer still
could keep alive the dream,
that had awakened for all to...

Good evening Ladies 
May I say, I am honored and privileged
As this is the first ever time
I have read in front of a woman’s only group
And a fine group of bovine beauties you are

I truly...

when I recite passages which some
find quite hysterical
I spew forth what I consider humour
all the time ha ha...

as a day of rest and contemplation,
a day of thoughtful appreciation of
what manifestly belongs to the Lord
Tradition says the Sabbath should be
the studious realm of sura and testament,
chapter and verse, call and...

About 600 BC sailors went down the East African shore
A Pharoah had sent them, afraid of an oncoming war
They rounded the coast at the African horn
Astonished at what they saw that morn.
The sun arced in...

Agreements are Shams!

Agreements are shams that the wise call a shakedown,
the wisest trust conflict, will work what’s at hand.
Agreements exist when folks (forced to) are civil.
Identical twins have mutations, evolve!
What miracles might stop, experience kicks...

‘Tis not for the ninety and nine He goes
On a dangerous midnight search.

That life is a struggle, there's no denying
when the distance between light and dark 
is just one misstep across the boundary line
Problematic for mankind since time began
Prompted by the reminder of crows flying

’Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
The A/C was running; we live in the South.
The weatherman’s on and we’re praying like hell
For Santa on radar, not some supercell.

I wake up each day
With the best of intentions
So get out of my way
Because I'm a Christian
The first thing I do
Is pray of course
And with that out of the way
I check off the box

In theory I thought you would like to know
That I didn’t practice the piano
I’m a noted rebel
Who is now in treble
For showing my staff to a soprano

The keys are a problem, almost a curse
When I...

Rigor mortis shivered in frozen soil

Four trumpeters bid a farewell to arms

The flag was draped around the coffin

Speeches salutes medals on uniforms

The pastor clicked his heels in reverence

No one argued any longer in the end

GOING FROM SAD TO VERSE

If my body is a temple it’s been potently polluted

Jesus became a curse for those-
All who call upon His name.
He died for our sin, then arose,
Our lives He fought to reclaim.

Isaiah 53 foretold
His commitment to God's will.
He has removed sin's stranglehold,
Thus, fulfilling God's goodwill.

Life is a work and play in progress
toward interdependent democratic
economic,
political,
social,
psychological,
biological,
and ecological investment choices

And/or lovely life is a too long and too short defaulting divestment
terminating in unwork and unplay dying process

Each day,
each life,
each story
like chapter and...

Young Love

BEHOLD, that special soothing tides of youth,
wherein it surges per paints blending times,
dries up in seconds treasured as it climbs,
up or down, a portrait life brushed in truth.

Could it possibly be expressed with dance, song or maybe rhyme?

Will it be here on Earth, or beyond our blue sky?

The raucous, rambunctious, rowdy and the loud
