"Hyar she comes! The weekly stagecoach is a-comin' to old Santa Fe!"
The driver cracked his whip and blowed his klaxon to herald the way!
The weekly arrival of the stagecoach was cause fer raucous celebration!
The town's ne'er-do-wells found another excuse fer excess inebriation!
The excited citizens one and all awaited its arrival with bated breath,
To see and greet the motley rogues brought to town by the driver, Seth!
Seth descended from his perch midst snarlin' curs and guttersnipes,
Gun-totin' hangers-on, genteel ladies, the sheriff and other sundry types.
Grizzled Seth cut loose a stream of cussin' and in a furious rage,
Yelled, "You'uns clear the way and let them people git off'n the stage!"
His bedraggled passengers set foot on the dusty streets of old Santa Fe,
Happy to be relieved of the stagecoach's nauseous lurch and sway!
The Baptist Ladies Guild gasped when down stepped a lady of the night,
But she was greeted by the fellers of Buster's Saloon with a cry of delight!
Next was a feller all dressed in black scannin' the crowd with a gloomy glower.
He was a preacher-man causin' fellers from Buster's Saloon to cringe and cower!
A steely-eyed dude with 44s on his hips viewed the mob with condescension,
But his shifty manner put the sheriff on alert and merited his attention!
Down stepped a foppish dandy wearin' diamonds and dressed in fine attire.
He was a gamblin' man aimin' to see how much town capital he might acquire!
Seth hollered, "All aboard! I gotta git to Albuquerq' by six tonight!"
He whipped his steeds to a gallop and soon old Santa Fe was outta sight!

Scintillating muse providing inspiration
Jettisoning convention for innovation
Scuttling old patterns without expiation
Countermanding discourse with new creation
Alternating rhythms for lofty oration
Imbuing myths with crafty animation
Ennobling verse with majestic simulation
Abridging meter with stimulating catechization
Utilizing parody to intensify gratification
Brandishing riddles with crafty illusion
Burnishing irony in stunning profusion
Instilling prose with deeper alliteration
Suddenly, faltering in my bridled station
Confronted by seamless repetition
Disrobed of all callous pretension
Jaundiced at my mindless ambition
Reconsidered sages merited position
Re-read Homer, Virgil with more appreciation
Studying Shakespeare became new avocation
Bequeathing to the ancient bards greater approbation
A beauty from the soul
More than just words
Accolades the wordsmiths self-made
Poet
You know it…
I award you in internal brotherhood and friendship beyond this void
Your worth worthy so
Even though we haven’t met (yet)
Poets
You know them…
Your one of God’s children and yet
He fathered you fair
Merited salvation glare
Freedom still
Collaborates Gods thoughts
Pens please don’t even lay them down my friend(s)
It be your glory, it’s your crown;
To write those gifted poems, write on…
There is words in praise and praise in words
As you write what you write allowing the spirit to input
I away you with privilege granted accolades
Tis an honor to read those words (these words of praise)
That wonderful writes my brother(s)
Co-created by you and God;
Some find it odd…
That you
Write on, write on..
Verses ribbed from your bones and from your soul(s)
Truth be told..
Alleluia Glory
Praising God with the words you share it
Makes you my Brother(s) Poets..
Soldier(s) Knighted in words of enlightenment;
Privilege honored;
Writer delighted
My poetic friend(s) bothers(s)
Many are there’re others but right now I’m praising you five;
God’s liberty in creations thrives
Write on, write on
On into glory
Verses ribbed from your soul(s)
Truth be told..
Alleluia Glory
Praising God with the words you share it
Makes you my Brother(s) Poets..
Equally yoked no one’s last their all first

Purple hearts made of metals, and gems;
They don't mean a thing;
You see, beyond the reality seas;
Rivers boats filled with dreams and fruits;
For the only hearts that have merited worth;
Is the heart of the Father God and Jesus Christ;
~
Humanity, don't give me;
Your material metals and materialistic degrees;
All of which symbolic, rust, decomposes and burn;
Give me my Fathers Favor, Grace and Love I chose;
For His honor, His glory lasting
For the only hearts that have merited worth;
Is the heart of the Father God and Jesus Christ;
Royality rules I so Desire the Purple Heart of the Lord Our God

The poet's own;
Now alone;
I see myself as nothing;
No one would have me;
I was co-created by God/Mom/Dad;
In my day hospital cost about eight-hundred
Dollars
I am elated, molded and created by the
Father
I see myself as sure;
Was once insecure;
my self esteem, my self importance;
Has no relevance;
I believed that I am a chosen one;
I've always worked on a job;
When they allowed me to have one;
I don't like my teeth because there're not pearly white;
Now there's no hope inside my heart;
My minds all torn apart;
Lost my wife in 2016;
Lost 2 jobs in 2017;
Yet I have joy
What AM I HAPPY for;
I am elated, molded and created by the
Father
I see myself as sure;
Was once insecure;
My hope is longevity of life;
I'm widowed maybe I'll remarry have a new wife;
What is life if God not there;
Jesus holds the hands to all His children;
I've ran away in the past couldn't hide;
Did I say I got Jesus on my side;
My tears, I'll wipe them dry;
My fears, I denial and;
I'm a wretch undone, I'm the only one;
Who cares less about myself;
I just a mess;
I still want longevity of life;
Want to be one of those humans that see Christ descend;
I'm imperfect in every way;
But I'm on my knees I pray;
If I'm not good enough for me;
I'm not struggling, I'm evolving;
I'm not good enough, but I AM;
I'm not old enough, but I AM;
I shall not fall on my face, I won't
I'm covered by my God's merited amazing grace;
In my weakness I'm strong;
In my short stature I'm tall;
Nothing this world and the people there of;
No devil in hell gonna get me down;
Not even my negative thoughts of my self;
Gonna make me frown, make me hold my breath;
I'm God's first son;

SOMETHING WORTHY
Lo, I am, axioma, solidly aware, that I am a...
I'm a wares and accepted, axiomatic axios
I am merited, knowing this myself I am
Even with this self-evident
All powers of self-righteousness, I've repented
My dividends have been financed
Now's my chance to help my fellow brethren
Something worthy
I am altruistic so I show disinterest, selfless concerns unselfish
I pray wish nothing but good glad tidings to you and yours
Showing that I pray for you and yours quite selfless concern for
Those solemn or emphatic declared state of something
I fear that we offer only unsupported asseveration
Something worthy

At my surprise
I have discovered
that making a quick decision is unwise,
intense is the longing to be heard,
to prevent a tragedy and a possible regret;
show a kinder glance and forgive who has wept!
A faithful lover never gives up hope,
he can wait longer being sure that his scope
is not useless and is a merited reward;
look at him he has finally changed!
He was never selfish,
surrendered all for making you happy,
have you given him a small part
of yourself and not make him worry
that another would steal your unfaithful heart?
All came true except for his wish!
A faithful lover keeps his word
and gets very angry hearing
you whisper someone's name
while you sleep and toss aside;
if this is too heart-breaking,
don't thrust deeper your sword!
Any other in the same spire
wouldn't accept cheating,
turning an eye, hoping
you'll listen to this voice
and convince yourself how wrong you are!
Is it really worth believing
that 'though unfaithfulness
is a betrayal that glistens
in the doubts of a guilty
mind...can it dimmer and die out slowly?
A faithful lover never gives up hope,
delude himself that he has found
his perfect woman in someone so fickle-minded,
keeping her affairs secretive, refusing to cope
with another reality more hurtful than pain,
deeper than remorse that harms the brain.
I’ve written rhyming verses and sonnets by the score;
I’ve written a hundred lyrics and inside me there are more,
But nothing that I’ve written has ever merited me fame,
And yet I keep on writing with a passion just the same.
Last night in my dreams dead poets came to visit me;
They gathered all around to discuss my poetry.
They said, “You’ll never be a poet – you haven’t lived enough pain;
Your life is full of sunshine; you haven’t drowned in sorrow’s rain”.
I woke up feeling empty, having to face a harsh reality;
The passion harbored inside is only passionate to me.
Then I finally realized that I am a lucky man,
I would rather have lived a life of sunshine than be a poet who’s broken.
Trust In God-An Acrostic
Term fellowships grant undoubting reverence
Rational credences distrust, mistrust
Unconditional credences reverence
Superstitious credences discharge, in God we trust
Tentative guesses become align with His Kingdom
Infidelities serve belief in forgiveness
New credences guess, in God we trust
Gross infidelities swear God already forgiven
Obvious merits deserve grace observed
Derivative instruments discredited confession devotion merited
