Long Plainness Poems

When we set out on a road trip
We didn’t stick to the old script
And were gladly amazed
And rarely unfazed
Hitting strange towns though some were skipped

We started from Thatsnot, OK
Which was more or less ok
But then...

Writing with peace about the Avenger
She assembled words of worship
Simplicity filled her pages

Writing with perseverance for the Builder
She bumbled with joyful jubilance
With truth, she engages

Writing with praise for the Creator
She crumbled her satisfied soul 
Joy...

I sat in the rain with the world at my feet
and I sighed.
Staring into it's eyes; it's limitless gaze.
I swooned amidst the tragedy of a starving visage.
I cried at the birth of morning light;
Of the...

In a night where the sons of sons sat under the stars
My father’s father told the sons of the wisdom of the sun
The beauty of the world is beheld in who we love
To live and...

In arcade of rigorousness
that brought the use of scrupulousness
walking in the valley of rectitudeness
with a pure mind of purity

which truncate not, witting truthfulness
to a steadfast adherence of walking uprightness
showing the way to an unfailing trustworthiness

Love Delayed 

 
Who could have known?
 
The pattern of life was already here.
Hot and cold in its earthliness.
It only required us to find our willingness
On a simple classroom first-glance,
Even as neither was looking for...

The dark spill muddied my canvas: 
Made its mess, dislocated light 
And thoughtful lines to the edges 
While it claimed the center for spite.
 
It seemed like all was wrecked. 
The time I'd worked nightly
To...

An Artist’s World

Looking at the canvas
I cannot see the pure white of the fibers
What is there hidden in the plainness?
Others will never see what I see
If I could see anything at all
The paints sit still...

ALL IS SIMPLICITY
Create a little business for
the Eye to be drawn from
trees, to return them with more
glee.Variety, lively touches,
surprising effects to make 
the heart dance so pictures 
walk out from their frame.
All is simplicity and...

What is the meaning of this life?

Is it pain and grief and strife?

Is it the happy and joyful things?

Is it the dark and dreary trail?

Is it the plainness oh so...

A blank page a hollow one 
Its plainness sickening 
A page without a scribble is faceless 
Without a story or experience behind it 
Nothing for emulation  
But with a little colour or few words
Life...

        Within the shadow of a broken heart.

    Trumpet of harmony sweet fragrant bloom,

Plush peacock king wears his crown with pride
Heralded as one of the features of his spring time park
Admired by thousands, refreshed daily and often
He is created from the prettiest flowers.

Majestic, regal, bold, he is but...

Sunshine, life's primordial sustainer
Channeling to all, the sun's energy
Plant, animal, insect, fish or other
Without sunshine, not one of them would be 

Sunshine can uplift your mood and spirit
When you are feeling gloomy and depressed
It can...

My favorite quilting shape’s a square;
It’s simple, quick to stitch and spare.
Such plainness shouldn’t be ignored,
For it can form a checkerboard.

This pattern’s friendly and it’s neat.
To quilt beginners, it’s a treat.
Each square attaches to the...

I do not want sweet pretty poems
Of unmarked sky where fancies roam
Give me the bones of ghosts to haunt
Sweet pretty poems, I do not want

I've had enough of gilded gold
Whose pretense of value is sold
Until...
