Beatnik Snap

Pale white against the ghostly fog
Smoke curled for lack of oxygen
Black rim glasses hide, head bows
Conceal eyes of cool cat daddy-o

In dark, goatee, groomed and moody
Beret tilted silhouetted, covers identity
Captures blues wrapped in a sax
Brown paper bags cover booze

Jazz releases notes unknown to claps
Fingers snap approval to the poets silence   
Something to be trusted no matter what
Underworld shadows gather dust

A secret spot built on a fog bank conjured up
On a dingy dream found five steps down
A hideaway ten degrees below zero and counting
Leading beyond all cafe dive boundaries 

Cold nights survive on hanging tunes
College degrees wall to wall leave hollow marks
Jive time turkeys hold on to hot tea instead
Twilight characters friendly as death reset

Step down in reality to displease history 
Bass man puffs his last cigarette
Joint smokers fill up the cavern
Underworld types gather with germs abounding

Fallen ash in trays lose attention
Coffee stains on tables remain
Stale as bread half consumed 
Down and dirty with the blues

Tinted in a melancholy stench
Night life rises numb, basement ready
Dim lights permeate the senses 
Lays waste to the alley cat man

Smoke rises in a trance to swoon
Turtle necks hold stiff men intact
A band doing hourly sessions Jam 
Bass players hammer out shadows

Discord is all that matters 
To mimic politics, smoke marijuana 
The attraction of the day is on the menu
Curse words say it all

Snap and double snap poetry incognito
Verses flow like painted butter on walls
On melted atomic babies breath powdered bottom
For war, use the toilets next door on the right

Bullets are the flavor of the day
The favorite flavor after blanks
Matchstick men in bazooka suits flirt
The moon turns supersonic jello cool

Cool cats know squares from pigs 
Cubes are abstractions of night sticks
Never mix with visions of gas lamps 
It is a gas man, can you dig it   

Elephant dancers run wild man
Suspicious of pigs who shoot first
Ask questions about bacon later 
Snap daddy snap on beatnik back

Premium Member FAITH IN GOD WHO INSTRUCTS US TO ENQUIRE OF HIM

April 4 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on 1Samuel 28-31 

Key Verse – 1Samuel 28:6 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

FAITH IN GOD WHO INSTRUCTS US TO ENQUIRE OF HIM	

God instructs us to enquire of Him according to His loving kindness
Although we displease Him with our self-exalting haughtiness
We repent from not submitting to His reign’s trustworthiness… 
Now surely seeking Him by faith for His forgiveness.

God instructs us to enquire of Him according to His upholding redemption
Although we doubt His assurance because of our unbelief’s position
We repent from not rejoicing in His salvation… 
Now surely begging Him by faith for our sanctification.

God instructs us to enquire of Him according to His Scriptural wisdom
Although we defy Him in our very own freedom
We repent from not obeying Him to advance His kingdom… 
Now surely surrendering to Him by faith constantly, not seldom.

God instructs us to enquire of Him according to His clear commandments
Although we deny His truth in our guilty sentiments
We repent from not praying within His set agreements…
Now surely relying on Him by faith toward commitment-fulfillments.

God instructs us to enquire of Him according to His counselling light
Although we disappoint Him in turning to worldliness’ flight
We repent from not abiding in His righteousness-plight… 
Now surely walking along with Him by faith upon holiness-delight.

God instructs us to enquire of Him according to His steadfast authority
Although we deceive Him with our sacrifices, devoid of sincerity
We repent from not showing to Him earnest humility… 
Now surely thanking Him by faith for His protective security.

God instructs us to enquire of Him according to His precious name
Although we degrade Him with our carnality’s shame
We repent from not dwelling in His will of divine flame…
Now surely staying close to Him by faith, as His victory we claim.

Premium Member FAITH IN GOD WHO REBUKES US OF OUR VANITY

September 2 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Ezekiel 13-15

Key Verse – Ezekiel 13:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.

FAITH IN GOD WHO REBUKES US OF OUR VANITY	

God rebukes us of our vanity through His Word
Since we speak lies of futility against truth-record…
We must repent with faith, submitting to Him Who is our Lord
Toward victory in cleaving to the Spirit’s sword.

God rebukes us of our vanity through His Scriptural assurance
Since we hide in our pride along hypocrisy’s endurance…
We must confess our sins with faith, acknowledging our ignorance
Toward peace in learning from His statutes midst perseverance.

God rebukes us of our vanity through His lawfulness
Since we turn against Him because of our haughtiness…
We must humble before Him with faith, trusting His greatness
Toward freedom from arrogance and self-righteousness.

God rebukes us of our vanity through His Biblical inquiry
Since we doubt His precepts, never saying we are sorry…
We must follow Him with faith, recognizing His divine territory
Toward increase in our spirituality while declaring the Gospel story.

God rebukes us of our vanity through His wondrous circumstances
Since we deceive ourselves in considering worldly instances…
We must regard His ways with faith, being aware of Christian practices
Toward blessings that bring us far from unnecessary curses.

God rebukes us of our vanity through His working
Since we disobey Him when His kingdom we are not seeking…
We must prioritize Him with faith, thanking His miracle-making
Toward triumph as to Jesus Christ we are looking.

God rebukes us of our vanity through His grace
Since we displease Him in our delays…
We must serve Him with faith, giving Him honour and praise
Toward exaltation of His name all through the days.

Premium Member The Trouble With Trolls

Wait !  the troll said.....
As he jumped in front of him.
You have the smell of humans on you.
Therefore, I can not let you pass thru.
The mouse said, but I have just what you need.
The troll looked him up and down,  and ask.
Now just what would that be?

What is it that you think you have?
       " That I want", asks the troll.   
The mouse always heard that trolls were 
         really very stupid.

    The mouse replied......
But you let the others pass.
I know this because I saw it.
Troll answered, yes, but, that has nothing to do with you. 
And if you displease me, I will eat you on this day.

      The mouse thought to himself.......  
Magic always works, but, only when you think you haven't
been tricked.

Troll replied, well I'm waiting, to cook you in my dinner pot. 
Within my cave of cold gray stone as I chew on your bones.
Though I do prefer the taste of human little girls, and boys.

 The mouse got that gleam in his eye, "as he replied". 
When I was out and about this very morning I saw the valley.
Where all the human girls and boys come out to play.
There's even some that hang out in a basket all day.

The troll's eyes got very big, as he asks", where is this valley?
The mouse said, with a big grin, why", it's just back over that hill.
The troll said, if you are lying to me, I will eat you when I get back. 
And he walked off over that hill, as he said, wait for me here.

The mouse waited till the troll was far enough away.
So he could be on his way, the mouse thought to himself.
There really may be a valley where human children play.
But not over that hill, maybe over another hill, but not there.
  
At leastways not anywhere near that hungry old troll.
As the mouse went on his way,  he thought...... 
The trouble with trolls is,  " they're really very stupid".

Premium Member Unquotable Quotes: Nurses - Xix

Unquotable quotes: Nurses – XIX

A nurse well-dressed is a nurse well-thought of, even if she administers the coup de grace.
Prick a nurse and she’ll pamper you; pamper a nurse and she’ll prick you.
Displease a nurse and no doctor can save you.
Report a nurse’s malfeasance and you’ll find yourself on a stretcher at the morgue’s entrance. (This is from personal experience.)
A nurse a night can make a patient feel much better over-night –
since the bed is paid for already for the price. 
Always address a nurse as “doctor”; she’ll not think you need a doctor.
Always make it a policy of hoarding the presents you receive on your hospital bed; the nurse will almost certainly help you lighten the load.
To relieve the back psychological itch, always ask the nurse to scratch your back facing you.
When the nurse is absent from the ward, so is the ward doctor.
Always ask the nurse how she spells her first and last names while pretending to write on a pad; you’re bound to raise her hopes about the contents of your last will and testament.
Always remove the ring on your third finger whenever a nurse enters your room.
In the presence of the nurse, always remark aloud how the nurse’s uniform fits her Brigitte Bardot form.
Never fail to attribute the low humming and buzzing sounds emanating from nurses around hospital beds to Maria Callas. 
Whenever a nurse approaches your bed, just whistle: “Jeepers, Creepers, Where d’ya get those eyes?”
Must the percentage of patients dying in hospitals always stay the same when nurses go on strike?
Marry a nurse and become an eternal patient.
A nurse in need calls a Hemingway to arms.
A nurse in bed raises the Dead.
Nurse a nurse and you’ll always be fed…..up!

Sleepwalking Angel

Finally, my little girl is sound asleep
after multiple bedtime stories, I plea that she will not make a peep.

Hugging her favourite teddy bear ever so close
the blissful sight is as precious and delicate as a blossoming rose.

The soft murmurs of her magical breath console me.
At last, I can rest upon my alluring bed where I long to be.

Pleasurably my heavy head allows itself to fall,
every muscle in my body relaxes and my eyes begin to flutter as I stare at the wall.

All are contently safe and sound fast asleep,
unfortunately, this blissful peace shall not keep.

A spine chilling creek sends a booming echo throughout the hall,
my eyes flicker open while my mind wakes itself up to protect my all.

The distasteful racket continues to speed up my heartbeat,
distressed I grab a flashlight refusing painful utter defeat.

The flashlight sends a ray of a saviour into the pitch black hallway,
my sleep deprived eyes focus on the bright figure in dismay.

The sweet little angel before me moves forward using unimaginable stealth,
still softly snoring and babbling sweet nothings to herself.

I stare in amazement as she manoeuvres about the house with ease,
with loving open arms reached out in case she falls to my displease.

With little direction, my little star is directed back to her bed
where she shall have the dearest dreams play out in her head.

For the rest of the night, I lay awake longing to hear her creek,
constantly tiptoeing into her room to get a reassuring peek.

The sun eventually rises along with a bright smiling face,
she asks me how she slept and I pull her in for a tight embrace.

Meditation Guru Me

Meditation Guru Me...

Spiritual tranquility (uber visionary)
     welcoming yuletide zen,
sans relinquishing down 
     lyft ting thoughts
     to state of minimal
mental activity, when
after some
     few minutes elapse,
there imperceptibly arises ten

den sea for light
transcendent state
to materialize quite
by easing away
     from deliberate concentration
coaxing insight, and detaching
thoughts to any plight
ordinarily feasting on consciousness,

     and rendering me into
an anticipatory anxious
state outright
clutched by imagined fears
     analogous to hearing,
and seeing monsters
     (albeit 10,000 maniacs)
during the night,
which lumbering beasts

conjured with very
little (if any) might,
but imps of the pervert
     (figure of speech)
scatter like cockroaches
upon dawn's early light
leaving me noggin
scrambled from vivid dreams

afflicting this good knight
wracking mine toes
to head approximately
seventy inches in height
which latitudinal measurement
of this man
doth displease,
cuz imagining myself

     bigger methinks defending
myself from bullies,
would hove been ease
zee to manage,
     yet in reality,
     this lix lifelong man
remembers as a boy,
how he did freeze

even during heat of summer,
and at that time
no Ask Jeeves
existed, thus scared
     and lonely yours
truly accumulated
daily inter leaves
of poker red hot anger,

     and rage against the machine,
     viz human unkind,
thus these latter days
crowded with dis please
zing pained memories,
that doth seize

this reclusive *****sapien,
whereat in mine hovel
nobody can tease
me, only during slumber
     nasty, brutish and short
Hobbesian ghosts
disrupt my zzz's.

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR GOING WITH ME
 
Thank You for going with me along Your strengthening 
Toward Your perfect will of great grace-dining…
Help me to hear Your voice as well as Your warning
And not to forsake You because of sinning.

Thank You for going with me along Your courage 
Toward Your promised land of bountiful provision-storage…
Help me to abide in Your covenant midst worldliness’ noise barrage
And not to provoke You to anger and jealousy rage.

Toward Your purposeful plan that glorifies You by Your goodness…
Help me to trust Your Word with Your faithfulness
And not to doubt You due to unbelief’s stubbornness.

Thank You for going with me along Your command 
Toward Your protective security of peaceful obedience-propped demand…
Help me to follow Your instructions upon precepts’ remand
And not to rebel against You whenever my iniquities You reprimand.

Thank You for going with me along Your victory 
Toward Your prevailing triumph of holy worship-glory…
Help me to esteem Your presence in telling Your Gospel story
And not to frustrate You in my vanity that brings misery.

Thank You for going with me along Your leadership-tie 
Toward Your persistent compassion that keeps me as the apple of Your eye…
Help me to delight in Your care as You move me to faith-high
And not to displease You with my deceit and lie.

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR ADVISING ME WELL  

Thank You for advising me well constantly

Against backsliding because of iniquity
So I won’t provoke You and Your established Christianity.

According to Your example of submissive attitude
Against showing false humility along its arrogant and haughty similitude
So I won’t dishonor You with my ingratitude.

According to Your command within Your offered relationship
Against indulging in worldly, earthly and carnal friendship
So I won’t hurt You and turn from Your fellowship.

Thank You for advising me well within Your will’s protection
According to Your goodness filled with loving kindness’ satisfaction
Against complaining due to discontentment for seemingly lack of provision
So I won’t rebel from You toward my destruction.

Thank You for advising me well midst my unfaithfulness
According to Your merciful graciousness
Against disobeying You, manifesting my stubbornness
So I won’t neglect You and Your helpfulness.

Premium Member Knees

Pursuing springtime walking sprees
beside our dog, beneath the trees,
I oft detected some unease
amongst the birds and buzzing bees
as echoed by flat monodies
of clicking, clacking, knocking knees
(forsooth, reversed parentheses)
resounding pained discordant keys,
confusing triplets’ twos and threes
as if the tunes were meant to tease
with awkward stilted harmonies.

I asked a doc with med degrees
if he could, somehow, kindly, please,
suggest intensive therapies
that maybe might perhaps just ease
strange syncopations such as these 
(you know, those eerie  melodies
that echo from my noisy knees)
before my family finally flees.

At last my doctor said “oh geez,
this is the worst of maladies,
so I’ll replace those  knobby knees
(they look like half moons made of cheese)
with stainless steel or manganese
or other metals such as these
as used in all such surgeries.
I’m sure the outcome won’t displease
(you’ll stand on legs, isosceles)
although there are no guarantees”.

Now that I’m fixed, I stretch and squeeze
with exercise my coach decrees
to aid me flex my new born knees;
and should I suffer agonies 
he soothes the strains with frozen peas
or cubes of ice that make me freeze
and says “I hope my expertise 
has helped to heal your injuries
and if you must, feel free to sneeze”.

With chiseled legs on racing skis,
I now can sail as does a breeze
o’er  nearby alpine apogees
(and view those sites that no one sees,
 alive in eagles reveries)
and when in Vail, win jamborees
upon my new non-knocking knees.
