Your art your notes your style
So varied so wise so true
Opened then drew close to
My eye my mind my heart
My eye my mind my heart
To love to learn to know
Your craft your theory your technique
Forever you made so unique
crosswise-GRAND-DAUGHTERS FAIR
Your innocence your purity your smile
So open so natural so wide
Charms enchants awakes
My spirit my eyes my pride
My spirit my eyes my pride
Inside in wonder in youth
To pray to gaze to praise
In love in awe of thee
quintile-SWEET VERSE
words too
familiar
or too remote
defeat the purpose of which,
he wrote
was his
hidden
enigma
a step too far,
if no-one could open
his jar
Inspired by Johnson's famous dictum
sequence-THE COUNSELLOR
He
opens
hearts and minds
in sickness and
health-
He
draws us
to himself
a quiet voice
we
hear
prompts
and reminds-
until peace we
find-
Then
fills us
with His word,
so we may be
heard

An open verse

stay the course
Does

confound
the rhythm
of your eyes
Take
a deep breath
exhale and read
between my lines
unphased
by phrase and
habitude
or human voice
The choice
is always
yours if
my poem will
be or is
not to be
a tune upon
your ear
PART 1 of quaternion
austere
confused
in disarray
desolate
by a crisp wind
&chill rain
which
ravage
the fields
&mountainside
as
tranquillity
leaves
the scene
&
leisure arrives
in silence & splendour
to the
enlightened
an aspect of grace
reluctant
to leave
an eccentric pastime
remains&
fluctuates
rearrange the garden
by pass
the time
a necessary task
of the season
duty bound
a routine awaited
by
the stricken
en pause
so to say
what to do
anguished
challenged
to divisive actions
in the clear
chilly dawn
braving
the elements
at daybreak
unconventional
yet composed
day-by-day
contemplating
the desolate scene
a reminder
of life
awaiting
the fresh vigour
of spring
The mumbles and giggles of a baby,
wobbly, shaky I soon stand maybe.
I frolic and prance with energy strong,
for I am youth and can do no wrong.
Life you are full of such sweet gladness,
yet, my adulthood is often madness.
Now, I stand alone on this life's stage,
frail, broken but happy in my old age.

Podium Place 1
Deep within green forests I wandered alone,
a nature child of seasons like a leaf blown.
I recall my first real kiss upon my pink lips,
and will never forget how my heart did flips.
Oh, we made a baby so beautiful and sweet,
I had it all and I thought my life complete.
But, this love had another fate and plan,
I will keep close how with a kiss it all began.

A QUATERNION
When the buds are tender green
And the fig leaves begin to sprout
None will mistake the end time scene,
The earth itself will shout.
Upon a horse,faithful and true,
He returns on a cloud,
As, in the air He comes into view
Every knee is bowed.
The book of life is opened,last
Sin meets it's heart's desire;
The deceiver and the deceived,cast
Into the lake of fire.
Water ,clear as crystal now,flows
Reviving,the once dead;
Those faithful,who Jesus knows,have
His name on their forehead.
A new earth,no more fire,sunlight or sea,
But living water that heals,thee and me.
Note:(ichthys), or XIesoûs Khristós, Theoû Huiós, Sot?r;translates into English as 'Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior'

Autumn's
long evenings
long hours
after sunset
in the play of moonlight
a celebration
a small feast
a gesture
of sharing prevails
a time to refresh&
relax
in humble
leisure
free
from anxiety
with one who is loved
a trusted confidant
indulged
serene&irreproachable
old&retired
acutely aware
of the ups&owns of
life
the vain entanglements
worldly trivialities
once dedicated
now weary
regrets
at time passing
nostalgic
once memories
unveiled
with gestures
of kindness
interleaved
in expectation
prodigious wit
in unlikely stories
of hilarity unfolded
refreshing
to savour
once again
the only noise
the voice of the past
in
uncertain transience
vain yearnings
the profusion
of contrasted
in the
multitudinous
colour-filled
world
of
yesterday
~He Will Be With You ~
(Quaternion)
When with life you can not longer cope
He will give you love, peace, and hope.
He will help you to be very strong
When everything for you go wrong.
When you fight and struggle all in vain
He will comfort and take away your pain.
When you are at the end of your rope
He'll help you see better beyond your scope.
When your spirit is so sad and low
Before God just kneel right there and much pray.
When troubles in life just pile wide and so high
His divine love in your heart forever will just flow.

QUATERNION (free verse)
Ah, Spring come again, the
warmth, the rain, yellows and
green.Grass, winds, blossom
bright,showers of life aloud in
the sky
Then Summer, her
beauty displays.
All nature in
flower, eye-catchingly dressed
to attract; then mellow vistas
bedeck the view with largesse,
bountiful Fall’s into our arms
to sustain our sleep in quietness
of Winter’s cold indoor nights
For Debbie;s Metamorph contest
HAIBUN QUATERNION
WINTER in anger whips up the waves,pounds the shingle shore,whispt later SPRING in action,brings to life and feathers its nest.SUMMER ,so lazy rests the soul and flowers the land as AUTUMN ,so mellow scents & sounds the harvest home.
a summer moving flowers of spring
at the crematorium- blossom and dew,
tears dry in the wind. beauty of youth
lost in a sigh.
around the corner Fall
days of grey- stands
drab winter gloom. still and
hestitates-
then becomes winter

Bella
He
opened
the window-
in streamed his first
love
with
flowers,
dressed
in white-
she haunted his
art.
The
eyes show
subjection,
melancholy
and
a
resigned
acceptance-
yet beauty shines
through.

but like a Strauss

her
affairs
of the heart--
never lasted
long.
