Kinship

© 2010 (Jim Sularz)

Caught a kinship from Ellis Island, 
sailed to craggy shores across the pond. 
Burnished bayonets shimmered in a bright warm sun,
on a Western Front by dawn. 

Surging waves of men in full retreat, 
pungent death was everywhere. 
Screams from sweet smelling poison gas, 
were mere whispers, through burning tears. 

The War to end all Wars came to an end, 
but the end, would never really come. 
While the hearts and souls of military men,
were made of tanks, battleships, and bigger guns.

A kinship sailed from isle and sea, 
to Lady Liberty’s beckoning shores. 
But Versailles, punished the innocent with a bitter price, 
sowing seething hatred, a blinding fear, 

- a World at War, once more and near.

Premium Member Panther

Black Magic Woman was tired and sick of the Dark Ages

Conferred with all sorts of Gods friends and medieval sages

I have to earn my stripes or let it be a multicoloured hide

Am a fierce cat woman with future and history in my stride


The panther was the favourite mount of ancient Dionysus 

Give me some weed for ecstasy theatre and psychokinesis 

I’ll rest in my cave for three days and prepare for my fight

Emit sweet smelling odour and lure a dragon at midnight


Clever sod thinks he is immune to pheromones and stench

But when he comes into my dungeon I’ll take my revenge

On injustices of religion myth legend and ancient belief

Devour the beast with my magical potion as an apéritive

Premium Member The Queen of Juniper Lane

In younger days, she ruled the stage,
Thrilling hearts of fans of every age.
Every living creature knew her name;
And the trees still whisper of her fame!

Her beauty was like the noonday rose,
Gripping, and then sweet memory as it goes.
Now retired to quiet life in the country,
To birdsong and a charmed visitor, maybe.

Redbirds bluebirds, blackbirds and robins,
Frequent her sunflowers and all their kin.
She has no desire to recreate the past,
For like a red diamond, it was made to last!

The spell once cast shall always linger,
As the beloved ring on her widowed finger.
Under the spotlight of the evening moon,
She gathers sweet-smelling roses of June;

Then nature is spellbound in total stillness,
As if expecting another drama to witness!
There's occasionally a party on Juniper Lane;
The princess she was is the queen she became!

Premium Member HEART THANKS THE LORD FOR HIS BLESSING THAT MAKES RICH

July 16 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Proverbs 10-12

Key Verse – Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

HEART THANKS THE LORD FOR HIS BLESSING THAT MAKES RICH

Our heart thanks the Lord for His blessing that makes rich by His eternal security
Really protective midst attacking infirmity
Allowing us to abide in His salvation’s certainty
For our soul’s assurance and purity.

Our heart thanks the Lord for His blessing that makes rich by His divine perfection
Really wise midst prevailing corruption
Allowing us to stay in His will despite temptation
For our spirituality’s devotion and dedication.

Our heart thanks the Lord for His blessing that makes rich by His steadfast supremacy
Really sovereign midst uncontrollable inconsistency
Allowing us to practice patience against gratification-urgency
For our faith’s strength and persistency.

Our heart thanks the Lord for His blessing that makes rich by His great endeavour
Really worthy midst earthly favour
Allowing us to work for His name with willingness’ fervour
For our sacrifices’ sweet-smelling savour and flavour.

Our heart thanks the Lord for His blessing that makes rich by His heavenly enrichment
Really bountiful midst crises causing discontentment
Allowing us to seek first His kingdom-advancement
For our ministry involvement’s empowerment and revival-fulfillment.

Our heart thanks the Lord for His blessing that makes rich by His majestic glory
Really radiant midst vexing misery
Allowing us to declare the Gospel story
For our commitment’s fruitfulness and victory.

Our heart thanks the Lord for His blessing that makes rich by His joyful fellowship
Really blissful midst worldliness’ friendship
Allowing us to obey His leadership
For our stewardship’s service-sacrifice and praise-blest worship.

Premium Member A Pile of Wood Chips

From life to vivaciousness
wood chips will nourish with nutrients' fix.
Ah... whiffs of fresh pine sift as temperature rises,
steam swirling from this pile higher than I.
Should I climb upon it and slide down,
I could drown in the sweet smelling heat.
Woodland bits would grip garments like embellishments,
pokes groping my skin as I whimsically wince,
pinecone punctures perceived as pleasures.
My hair would wear the wilderness afresh,
twigs twirling between tresses to rest.
With sought satisfaction of childhood carelessness,
hugging trees' sacrificial splendor,
I plunge in and spin.

Premium Member Where Do I Live

Where do I live? I live
In the ever changing
Blues and greens of the ocean,
Darting soundlessly, weightlessly
From pink coral to white
Among the waving sea creatures
Amidst iridescent fish
And the bones of sunken ships.
 
Sailing in the air currents with gulls
In an October blue sky
Over spindrifts of clouds
Embroidered gold by the
Last rays of the sun 
Sleeping in cumulus down
Awed by jagged lightning
That splits the heavens.

Bracing myself with breaths of
The thin and icy air
On the snow-capped
Craggy mountains of the earth
Climbing precipices
With the bighorn sheep and
The crafty, silent
Soft-pawed snow leopard.

Riding a camel where the land is
Arid and brown - blown dry
By searing desert winds
And sun that burns the skin,
Roamed by scorpions,
Lizards and snakes
And nocturnal creatures
That poison and bite and sting.

Resting in the sweet smelling grass
Of a sun-dappled forest glade
Fringed by ancient oaks
Breathlessly still, except for the buzzing
Of bees and cicadas, vibrant calls
Of the multi-colored birds
And the rustling movements
Of some unseen wary forest animal

I dwell in the ever-expanding
Consciousness of the mind
That opens to infinity
Joyfully exploring possibilities
Absorbing all experiences
Great and small, dark and light
As I become one with them.
I live in the dreams I weave.

Premium Member Blooming Betty

Bad breath Betty
Never had a steady
Or anything
Be it friend or foe.
Everyone avoided her don't cha know.
Then she went to the zoo
Met Evalynn
Who blew flowers through her nose.
Betty had to find out how that goes.
Evalynn said, "step near,
I'll tell you the secret
That no one must hear.
Lean closer now!"
And Betty did.
What she said would have shocked you,
But remember,
This is a zoo.
Animals talk,
And know what to do!
Betty was instructed this day,
To visit the zebra bay.
They ate bulbs,
Then pooped them away.
Betty scooted down,
And scooped the bulbs up,
Injected them all,
Without a hiccup!
A few days later,
Much to her surprise,
Flowers began to grow,
Out of her eyes!
Sweet smelling gardenias,
Fragrant roses,
Covered Betty's bad breath,
Better than all the rest!
She went out to town,
Started nosing around,
Soon made friends,
Became the class clown!
Now she is called Blooming Betty,
Even has a steady.
Has so many friends,
Her steady wasn't ready!
But Blooming Betty doesn't care,
Her blooming breath,
Goes everywhere!

Premium Member Rise Up Ye Armies of Peace and Love

Rise up ye armies of peace and love
Make known you're tactical plan
To rid the world of this evil scourge
Of wars and the killing of man

It's not too late but it soon will be
Beyond our efforts to change
This world is still a beautiful place
To neglect it would be a shame

Not to acknowledge it's just a loan
This beautiful world of ours
The mountains high, the rolling seas
The sweet smelling scent of flowers

No more abuse let's all make amends
And treat this planet with dignity
Respect for providing this absolute beauty
How tragic to miss this opportunity

Let's put an end to this constant upheaval
Start out as such innocent tykes
Bewildering how we've gone so far astray  
And traveled this path so warlike

Rise up ye armies of peace and love
Put an end to this strife and selfishness
We owe our life to this place of beauty
Let's forget about all this foolishness!

Trying But Failed

it comes it goes its hard to keep
it plauges the mind, so hard to sleep
top of the list top of the mind 
an anwser a question to hard to find 
stessfull days at times we wish 
to be a dog a cat a fish 
anything but who we are 
a peace of mind seem so far 
kids are screaming always fighting 
loose tthe plot so quick like lighting 
but these are the thing that makes us find 
our loosing battle for a peace of mind 
the sweet smelling air, a babys smile 
keeps us sain but in a while 
the rush of anger quick to see red 
we all have wished that we were dead 
another day, tomorow is new 
a quest of differance a quest or two 
a mountain of questions some are a trick 
tired awakens,tired and sick 
the kids are awaking, screaming and loud 
tryed to keep sain, trying but failed
