Four brothers brought up to revere God and love country.
From Rockford, Illinois, a close suburb of Chicago.
Frank, who grew up to be a Marine.
Ralph, who joined the Army and John, an Air Force man.
Their letters home can be found if you google
“The Abandoned History of Four”
Their only surviving relative a second cousin,
A woman who recognizes the value of their letters.
They express the horrors of WWII, the air raids, the submarines,
“The Japs and nasty Germans raiding without warning”
They take you through Pearl Harbor, a particularly nasty day.
You get a feel for the terror, and the aftermath of what they lived through.
None of the three brothers married or had children.
Frank was sent home with malaria and jaundice, and had mental problems.
Ralph and John were probably in similar states.
Optimistic, patriotic soldiers who lived their truth.
At the expense of their futures.
There are no true prophets of old
who can warn us of the horrors
to come, we must rely on His word
by putting down the shining sword;
there are no humble and comforting words
coming from the mouths of the heathens
who ignore every sign and step on the meadows
of grass to make them complete wastelands...
while wildfires destroy beautiful forests
to increase the heat in the atmosphere
making glacials melt and endanger bears
by driving them away from the home they revere.
The foolishness of Man has caused a plague
able to wipe out all Humanity in a year,
it's another Black Death killing the masses
inducing panic among nations effected by fear;
is there a lamp to carry and guide us through the darkness?
Unbelievers compromise words making them vague,
if believers had the incredible faith of Daniel indeed,
they would be saved from the lions' den never being afraid;
are we as patient as he was leaving his revenge to God...
to prove how powerful He is in moments of need?
We revere our gorgeous snow queen
She wears her ethereal regalia with purpose
Many people shy away, totally intimidated
It is snow queen’s plan, for her heart is fragile
She has been terribly hurt; you can tell by her eyes.
She is now purposefully frosty and standoffish,
So people will not take advantage of her giving nature.
Snow queen is hoping to never have her heart broken again
Not only by lovers, but by acquaintances and colleagues
Who take advantage of a woman who is generous and kind
Snow queen’s family and best friends see past her façade.
Sad, but understanding why she has had to build walls of ice,
She forms a glistening sight, enhancing winter’s diamond-like aura.
Snow queen wears her frostiness with jewelry like majesty.
Keeping her heart safe, so no one can hurt her any more.
On days like this
I wish I was an Aztec.
Give me Nextlahualli
As a noble death.
I’d gladly part with
My possessions, and
Give my body in sacrifice
To the benefit of the gods.
Yes, it’s the Flower War,
A good death.
You don’t believe in that?
You don’t revere the gods?
Blasphemy!
Better to cut your tongue
In half in atonement than
Say that aloud.
I lie in a drugged stupor
As they ready the flint knife
Which my priest will use
To cut out my heart.
I feel greatly honored
A Flower War death is
Much more noble than
Dying in battle.
From forever land I watch
My discarded body get
Flung down the temple’s steps.
There is satisfaction in knowing
I have saved my community,
And my viscera will feed
The animals in the zoo.
Religion trumps spirituality
Every time!
I wish I was an Aztec.
Is something unphysical
in charge of this world
That lines every moment,
unseen and unfurled
Scientists say NO,
breathing fire as they shout
What is it then
that scatters atoms about
Darwin had his theory,
well accepted—unproved
That things change themselves
on condition and mood
But somewhere deep
in the backs of our minds
A notion lay hidden,
firmly placed to remind
This proof we so revel in,
whose truth we revere
Has constantly changed
since the dinosaurs were here
So try to stay open
as new data evolves
Remembering the axioms
it now must resolve
And tune in to something,
not burdened by facts
The rock of all ages
—still blindly intact

I diffidently conjure the sorrowful emerald entity
from the deepest depths of my elbow of despair.
I do not abhor her, but I also do not trust her.
Likewise, I rather revere and worship her.
She validated my grief when I was in the wailing keening stage.
Sapphire orbs transmogrify into lilting, lively, lovely butterflies.
Porcelain staunchness furthers her into an aloof position.
Astonish me, she whispers, in an ethereal, frightening way.
Or admonish me, she says a little too loudly. Then she laughs.
It is a maniacal laugh that frightens me.
I watch this amazingly mystical, magical creature evolve
and revolve during the crescent moon’s change of clothes.
There is a sense of wonder, yet, also a feeling of regret
Possibly remorse?
She admirably fills the corners of my grief state
There is a glimpse of enthusiasm, a quick interval.
I devote myself to the task of understanding
the sensitivity of her resolve and revolve.
For she has been to visit me many times.
And I have no doubt she will return.
FROM SUNSET TO SUNRISE
Her clinging mermaid-figure, auburn hair - french braid-chaste.
Pearl’s arms circumnavigate his nautical-neck. Strong arms gird her waist.
His hands, like the current, draw her in. She inhales with fingers laced.
Like the sublime shoreline, their outlines traced.
Water and sand swirl around their feet, hearkening to the flautist-tide.
Pearl’s arms circumnavigate his nautical-neck. Strong arms gird her waist.
The sky, stars, and moon vanish - in a lover’s cove, they hide.
Recognized with a full-moon revelation - no disguise,
She is likely to drown in the whirlpool of his eyes.
With the whispers of his high-tide love, she does rise,
Answering in kind - breathing in and out her replies,
As their lifetime stretches from sunset to sunrise.
The aquamarine of Pearl’s eyes match her swimming gown.
She is likely to drown in the whirlpool of his eyes,
Snatched by the undercurrent, of her lover’s seaweed crown.
The shrieking seagull o’erhead, her memory recalls.
The darkened lighthouse, stronghold sinking, falls.
Feet weeping on serrated shells, his footprints lost in sandy halls.
His sea-drenched bodysuit, her frightened squalls.
Inlet eyes, stained red, revere venomous jellyfish - tentacled balls.
A shallow survivor - her lover’s footprints she could not save.
The darkened lighthouse, stronghold sinking, falls.
She dives into the cold abyss of a mourner’s grave.
Pearl will find her eternal love, beyond the sun’s rays.

Laura Loo’s Rhyme Time II Contest
when my mother died I was lost and feeling down
so I turned to God and The Holy Spirit I found
He removed me from a place where I was stuck on hold
He took me under His wings and Into His righteous fold
I conformed to be what He ideally finds
an obedient servant with a willing mind
as all men are fraught with sin
learn to obey and just LET GOD IN
offer up your sustenance, surrender all to Christ
worship Him, praise Him, love Him with all your might
capitulate, sacrifice, relinquish and submit
give all to God and be filled with The Holy Spirit
come to Him willingly and you will find
all of your carnality will be left behind
as He is above all natural things
our Lord and Savior, the one true King
just pray to God
develop a dialogue
keep on praising His name
and do not use It in vain
worship Him with a righteous appeal
revere unto Him and the truth will be revealed
impart to God and live a Christian life
glorify Him in the name of Jesus Christ
acquiesce to God your entire being
and on Judgement Day the Kingdom you'll be seeing
so get baptized and be born again
just keep the faith and LET GOD IN
