Premium Member Bring Me a Harpist

When you arrive at Gibeah of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is located, you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the place of worship. They will be playing a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre, and they will be prophesying.  1 Samuel 10:5

David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying, accompanied by harps, lyres and cymbals. 1 Chronicles 25:1

But now bring me a harpist.” While the harpist was playing, the hand of the LORD came on Elisha.  2 Kings 3:15

BRING ME A HARPIST

To quiet the soul, worship the King.
He resides on heaven’s throne.
He’s far above the earthzone.

Can you hear the plink of lyre and harp,
the filigree waft of the flute,
feel the lissome shake of the tambourine,
as they quicken
your heart past the pearly gates?

A calm and quiet place,
peace beyond all understanding, 
as the fires break out and war overwhelms
mortal inhabitants…the peaceful stir
of Christ’s sleeve and hem of adoration.

Angels arrive on location,
drawn to the praise of imperfect steps,
their staircase unseen
but the melodic notes lift
their knees, their feet
as if men too had angel’s wings.

Praise cannot see the visible,
every eye closed, the scent of Eden
better than any royal rose-laden path.

God’s camp comes with sweet music
on fingers, lips, against the thigh,
in the oxygenated air — shuts the mouth
of lions, freezes frenetic fire, parts the seas.

The hand of the Lord arrives
as the music comes alive
and mankind opens his mouth
and prophecies. 

Almighty calm curtails the dragon’s tail.
Zephyr of minted-praise tamps its breath.

*Hallelujah!
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Hallelujah!*

What a strange thing to compare yourself to.
Something that slips from water to land
tastes the sun, slipping into the muddy dark again.

What a strange comparison
woman and reptile
warm and 
cold-blooded.
Things that carefully harbor their eggs
let the sun run a hand of life over their hearts.
Lead them to the backwaters so they can grow into their shells, then fend for themselves.

Woman and reptile
deflecting the man jaws of living.
Retreating, then snapping a wary eye on the dark beak of life.
A favorite backwoods pond rimmed with Faries and such.
A favorite log to rest upon.
(me?) 
Then what, a shadow comes along, then plunk-plink again.
Leaving purple ripples around these hungry hearts.

Premium Member No One Messes With Grandma

Tuesday was the day that Saturn came crashing down out of the sky.
She fell with a plunk, many people thought they were going to die.
She got smaller and smaller, until she fell with a tiny little plink.
Saturn fell in my grandmother’s dark room, into her photogenic sink.

We grandkids asked Grams, should we share Saturn's plight?
Gram yelled. This is a dark room. Do not turn on that light!
Saturn spoke to us, using extraterrestrial telepathy.
She ate short bread cookies, and some of Grandma’s dandelion tea.

We kids do not keep secrets, so I guess you know bye and bye.
FBI came and began searching for Saturn. Grams said it was a lie.
Now two FBI agents are locked in basement – Pete and Old McSly.
Because Grams said if Mr. Lee turned on the light, he was gonna die.

Premium Member DAD'S EMPTY BOAT-Villanelle Poetry Contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The boat still waits where water meets the shore,  
its hull a ghost of varnish, cracked and thin.  
Dad’s empty boat rides the waves no more.  

Motor sits idle—no strong hands the throttle to pull
at dawn’s first blush or dusk’s slow-settling din.  
The boat still waits where water meets the shore.  

I trace the name he carved with patient score:  
Ninnie Poo—paint now like weathered skin.  
Dad’s empty boat rides the waves no more.  

The pines still lean as if they’re listening for  
his whistled tune, the hook’s sharp plink within.  
The boat still waits where water meets the shore.  

The perch still school where cattails root and sprawl,  
untroubled now by his net or his custom-made jig-spin.   
Dad’s empty boat rides the waves no more.  

The lake holds silence, calm and still with languor. 
Hushed wooden dock moans, wondering where Dad has been.
The boat still waits where water meets the shore.  

Dad’s empty boat rides the waves no more.

Broken Front Tooth

inxs of cold playing air 
froze natural pond, where over head Canadian geese did blare
honking the latest goose sip loud and clear
when from behind a bush (color of smashed pumpkin) did peek a deer
alert to any danger by parking upright either one or both ear
lest predator doth lurk and induce fear
while Harris Family and friends oblivious attired in wintry gear
which protection from cold caused difficulty to hear

necessitating cupped gloved hands to punctuate every muffled word
to be but barely heard
akin to talking with mouth full of custard
above the quiet riotous mirth from this then gawky child nerd
precariously maintaining balance on his skates and glide like a bird
such attempts made this boy appear quite absurd

ah, if only this mind of mine did two step quick think
but woe misfortune awaited across the bumpy natural rink
blithely jettisoning myself hither and yon like a rolling stone going plink
unaware while in camouflage pose disguised as one sneaky slippery fink
that snuck up in a blink

that found me squarely face down shattering left front tooth
immediately discovered via tongue as private sleuth
finding me in extreme agitated state forsooth
as if on fire from red hot chili peppers wrought from jagged booth

winning sympathy from parents who did level best to tend distraught son
who ushered playback of events with less disastrous rerun
praying for an angel to grant reverse outcome brought none
gut wrenching grief immediately terminated former fun
damage irreversible and perfect white smile forever broke con!

Premium Member Contamination

Conscientiously Combat Contamination:
  Pass punitive laws policing polluters
  Keep chemicals from killing crops like corn
  Plink and plunk pests with pure, perfect panaceas
  Segregate and shun smokers of cigars and cigarettes

Contradictorily, Contribute to Contamination: 
  Permit and protect pernicious ***********
  Validate, vindicate, and venerate video violence
  Liberate, laugh at, and lionize lascivious language
  Glorify and giggle at graceless, gutter-fed gossip

       Counteracting Contamination
       Can't cut both ways, can it?

            ______________________________________________

Twilight swallowed me, striking me speechless 
      With subtle caress of a wicked breeze 
      Stirring the surge, I drift inwardly
      And wild geese soar home in the sky.
 
Floating at a low level on a long, rolling skein. 
      Their banter ruined their afternoon
      Friends unified on a familiar trip.
      I've seen them ride on the oceans. 
      Pulling back the waves' white locks. 

In the quiet, glassy sea, my skiff barely ripples. 
      Lavender clouds and double geese.
      Random ideas diffuse as waves. 
      But my ideas act as stars in the sky
      Bringing delight with a single chuckle.

Happiness simply cannot be accounted for.
      Also, it seems as a wayward child.   
      Even amid the thrills, sadness arises.
      Akin to one drop of rain on quiet waters.
      Spread ripples will erase dazzling rays.
      With a single echoed plink of its sad note.

Is it worth staying with the wispy Hope scarf?
      Then laid across my shoulders?
      The light tilts on other days.
      That warms the day as a lover's kiss.
      And I anchor at home in delightful calm.

Premium Member Ear-Splitting, Liver-Bellied Bullying

plink, plink, water in the sink
sinks slowly into budding suds
torturing the pans and fork tines
who want cascade - show on the road
plink, plop, hands over ears, now stop
but slowly the spatter of drops
like the slow go of a rain storm
keep habitating, repeating
their ear-splitting, liver-bellied
bullying of the spoons and cups
the apron-covered giant turned
off the faucet, threw in the rag,
then the sponge, ew…her hands with gloves
now each piece, that is us, is scrubbed
and ah, true running water-rush
each of us towel dried, put ‘way
from nightmarish brutality
we rest…we rest..until lipstick
lands on the side of grinds in cup
and pan slams onto surface heat
in other words, we get beaten
then comes water in sink, awaken
the bully who sleeps eight hours
look forward to vacation, hers!
