Ten Villanelles- Sixth

6

I have searched constantly, no one there
Loneliness accompanies me in this quest
So much left undone, so much left to share

If this is a race, I'm the tortoise, life the hare
Sadly passes and renders test after test
I have searched constantly, no one there

To make myself a victim, I will not dare
I surely have blame, you know this best
So much left undone, so much left to share

Lately I don't even have my time to spare
Misery loves company, but I have no guest
I have searched constantly, no one there

Uncertain of anything, into the past I stare
Knowing what I sacrificed leaves no rest
So much left undone, so much left to share

I have put forth everything, laid myself bare
Wanting you to understand, I became a pest
I have searched constantly, no one there
So much left undone, so much left to share


Cheerful September Ten

C-heerful September ten
Y-our friends always remember; 
N-ight cold chill has turned
T-o pleasant warm weather.
H-appy September ten
I-s just bringing brighter day; 
A-fter the rain has gone, gray clouds clear the skyway.

J-oyful September ten
A-llows the morn to break; 
V-ery nice comforting breeze
I-s relieving the heartache.
E-njoyable September ten thrills your heart and mind; 
R-apture is truly brought to leave the bummer behind.

C-heerful September ten
O-ffers a million mirth; 
N-ever ever shall it cause 
S-ome sadness to your birth.
I-mmeasurable pleasure
G-ives a hundred delight; 
N-ever ever shall it carry
A-nother unwelcome snakebite.
D-awn denies the darkness, making you feel seventh heaven; 
O-pen your life to celebrate cheerful September ten.

Premium Member Fiery Trials Top Ten

Focus on His faithfulness,
Especially His past acts.
Respond with your faithfulness,
For disloyalty subtracts.

When lion and lioness
Surround for deadly attacks,
Determine to praise and bless,
For His strength counteracts.

Don't forfeit His loyal love.
It's greater than life itself.
Fellowship with Him above.
Don't try a do-it-yourself.

Trusting in mere flesh and blood,
Brings a curse upon people.
Your life gets stuck in the mud-
Mount with wings like an eagle!

Why do you try to judge Him?
Your wisdom cannot compete.
Be wise and bow, not condemn-
His desire fulfilled is sweet.

Are you repelled by His plan?
That's the measure of a man!
Tell me what is greater than
A Hebrews 11 clan?

Sometimes He will disappoint-
Success can be knocked out-of-joint. 
No worries from His standpoint,
Moses is a case-in-point.

Where can Christian joy be found?
Joylessness seems to abound.
His fruit of joy will astound,
Obeying on the battleground!

Stay in His fear and His word,
Or boundary lines are blurred.
Rivals to Him you must purge
For His blessings to resurge.

Bottomless blessings are vast.
He doesn't give them all fast.
You must continue to trust-
Abiding in Him is a must.

Ten Reasons Why I Love God

I love Jehovah and I'll love him for all of my days.
How much do I love him, let me count the ways.
1. I love him because he cares.
2. I love him because he's fair.
3. I love him because he's noble and just.
4. I love him because he's one who we can trust.
5. I love him because he's always around.
6. I love him because he won't let me down.
7. I love him because he does not lie.
8. I love him because he eases our pain when we cry.
9. I love him because he loves me.
10. I love him because he'll let me live in paradise for eternity.
Those are the ten reasons why the Lord has my love and respect.
when we need somebody to comfort us, he's the one who we should select.

Premium Member Ten Thousand Losses

As a baseball team entity, 
in existence since 1883,
most seasons reeked with mediocrity.
Numerous generations living in Philly
have seen your teams play the game pitifully.
You have a dubious distinction of futility.
As the first franchise to lose its ten thousandth game,
you have reached an unprecedented mark of shame.
However, your boys have not performed badly
since the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Forget about those years your squads finished last.
There is no need to dwell on the past.
Your latest team has taken the field
with players having much talent to yield.
With what you have currently, and continued progression,
another championship can be within your possession.

Ten Villanelles- Last

10

To move forward what would that possibly entail
An idea so strange, that I cannot even conceive
Knowing that I'm lost, still enchanted by your spell

You should consider all this, and consider it well
Maybe one day you'll wake up seeking a reprieve
To move forward what would that possibly entail

In good responsible decisions I hardly ever excel
If I tell you everything once more, will you believe
Knowing that I’m lost, still enchanted by your spell

Somehow I always find a way to make myself fail
Many times it is my very own soul that I deceive
To move forward what would that possibly entail

Without a map leading me, how can I ever set sail
Seeking meaning, but never finding what will relieve
Knowing that I’m lost, still enchanted by your spell

The memories are always a sad never ending tale
For a chance to re-enter life, nothing would I leave
To move forward what would that possible entail
Knowing that I’m lost, still enchanted by your spell

Premium Member Ten Seconds of Beaming Light

AT THREE TEN AM I GOT OUT OF BED.
  I RUBBED MY EYES AND SHOOK MY HEAD.
  I WENT TO THE KITCHEN TO QUENCH MY THIRST.
  ON MY WAY THERE I STRUCK BY A BURST.
  IT CAME RIGHT THROUGH THE ROOF AND FOCUSED ON ME.
  IT TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS. BUT I FINALLY BROKE FREE.
  I'M COMPLETELY AWAKE, NOW AT THIS TIME.
  AND YES I WAS, BLOWN RIGHT OUT OF MY MIND.
  MY HART WAS POUNDING, BUT THAT DIDN'T MATTER.
  MY QUEST FOR SOME WATER, HAS COMPLETELY BEEN SHATTERED.
  BUT MY CURIOSITY GOT THE BEST OF ME.
  I WASN'T SURE I SEE WHAT I SEE.
  I TOOK A STEP FORWARD AND ENTERED THE BEAM.
  IT SEEMED I WAS FLOATING IN SOME KIND OF DREAM.
  IT'S SOME KIND OF BEAM, BUT, INSIDE IT SEEMS TWISTED.
  I LOOKED ALL AROUND BUT NO INSTRUCTIONS WERE LISTED.
  ONE HOUR LATER I WOKE ON UP THE FLOOR,
  WHEN I THOUGHT I HEARING A KNOCK AT THE DOOR.

Ten Zombies In a Kombi

Ten Zombies in a Kombi             
                                       traveling at late night in a town                   
                                        All people sleeping peacefully                  
                                               They making sound                   
                   
                                          Zombies have no chance now                   
                                               for living flesh to chop                  
                                            Hurray mode may be lost                   
                                                  So need to romp   
              
                                          Their eyes are of full bloods                    
                                               Seeking human brain                    
                                                 No way to have it                  
                                                 so no one’s slain
