Premium Member Greener

She stood there and slooshed on the grass at her feet
She’d have to move forward before she dared eat
She walked a few paces to discover that
Some other cow had left a foul splat

Wherever she looked there was piddle or poo
And that was the moment she knew what to do
She looked at the grass which was drying and brown
She might well have cringed but a cow cannot frown

She went to the river to drink some clean water 
Across it, the farmer, his wife and his daughter
Live in a house with a lush green lawn
The greenest she’d seen since the day she was born

But why should she settle for this frazzled field
When over the river, a bounteous yield 
Well she had to go where she had to go
And then in the water was hit by the flow

She struggled against it, her progress was slow
But she battled on to where green grass does grow
Why should the farmer keep it to himself
When cows were the subject of all of his wealth

The river was raging, the current was strong 
She aimed for the lawn so she didn't go wrong
And finally clambered the opposite side
Astounded she’d managed a river so wide

She pushed herself out and up onto the bank
And looked back across to where the grass stank
She’ll savour this green grass for all it is worth 
She took her first mouthful...
Yuk...
Astroturf!

Come with sure voice, come with firm choice;
Reach deeper still, reach to sculpt hope;
Emerge with poise, enjoy pure voice;
Ask grace to thrill, aim dazzling scope;
Time spurs grand zeal, truth flings bold zest;
Indulge wise heart, impress true say;
Voice clear goodwill, vouch for the best;
Employ each start, engage each play;
See beyond sense, sense beyond sight;
Trust soul to know, touch a calm feel;
Yield shady tense, yes then see right;
Light comes to show, love comes to heal;
Embrace the truth, end what you start;
Sense beyond proof, soar beyond art.

Premium Member SEA GLASS


  Pieces of broken glass gathered in ocean
  undergoing gradual conversion
  by metaphoric changes through ages.
  As processed by rigorous vigorous rolling 
 under turbulence and tremendous pressure,
 rough edges to get rounded off producing smoothness,
  lastly happens to yield sea glass :
  Nature ‘s marvel and splendour.

  Glossy texture to claim : lovely looks of a gem,
               with frosted appearance.
  Trash turning treasure, nourished by ocean.
   An accomplished sequel on transformation .
    One can't surmise : Splendid surprise !

    Available on some beaches not in abundance,
            but bare fact : not so rare!
     By chance , I glanced to pick up prompt
         ignoring envious looks of my friends.

     I collected few from sea beach in Puri, Orissa, India.
              I feel proud to own 
      those, comparable to precious gem stones.

Premium Member Midst Social Media Glitches

The Sovereign Creator is pleased with helpful modern inventions
Making mankind benefit from telecommunications so well
But for sure, He feels bad when in their vexing malfunctions
Email users in their exasperation feel their brain-nerves swell!

The Perfect Designer commends responsible computer experts
For their good contributions, indeed numerous
Yet He admonishes those geniuses to be accountable in giving alerts
Warning people about internet-driven virus!

Thus, I seek God for His wisdom
When confused with social media's bewildering entanglements
I’m sad though for those who abuse information-freedom
As they deny and neglect consequences of their engagements!

Likewise, I avoid being deceitfully puzzled
By varied scams’ alluring appeal and financially enticing 
Thru global “get-rich-quick” transactions for netizens to be wealth-dazzled
Using fake identities; yet others’ privacy --- compromising and exposing!

I do trust* God to prevail over “hacking” ventures
Of ill intentions, never amusing, to wreck information sites
Such are shocking inhumane gestures
Dominated by selfishness-blights and greediness' heights!

Hence, I rely in God with faith Who knows what’s best
For my communication partnerships despite websites' criticism-attacks…
To the Lord do I yield my questions for His great answers to the fullest
Since His omniscience subdues my doubts with His truth’s packs!

*Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Premium Member New Year Better Be

The New Year better be, don’t make me punch your nose.
If love abounds you’ll see, no need to come to blows.
An even year of highs, except reduce my size.
Tell us the honest news, don’t make our tempers rise.

The baby born on first, the parents pay their tax.
Exemptions none for them, unlucky that’s the facts.
Hosed procrastinator, follows the patterns till.
His money pit does thrive, always another bill.

The new year bells ringing, far better than the last.
2021, thank Lord when it has passed.
Don’t want to drop the ball, social anxiety.
With the crime rate rising, and notoriety.

Ring-ring sing-a-long song, roses in peak herald.
Hearken to blooms of bless, melody apparelled.
Unparalleled color, the stunning pink showers.
Angels yield ‘22, bouquet’s scented powers.

Premium Member Few Leaves

Few Leaves
By Franklin Price
9/22/2018

Few leaves have changed their greenish hue
Today's the first of Fall
The daytime heat's still Summer like
Winter clothes are at the mall

The days have gotten shorter
Darkness sooner in the field
Harvest time has come again
Filling silos with the yield

Days of Summer  now are gone 
Pumpkins soon for Halloween
Ghosts and goblins in the streets
For the trick or treating scene

God brings autumn colors
Orange, red and yellow to the scene
A short time of great beauty
To replace the Summer green

Colors only for a short time
Then they're falling to the ground
Revealing barren branches
On the hardwood trees around

Won't be long before it's Winter
Gone the vestiges of Fall
And another season of our lives
Hope that you enjoy it all

Needing rest from debilitating rigors of life?
I’m the blessed joy at the core of your heart…
offering divine mirth of wondrous delight
assuaging blood pressure-surge ---
Engage with earnestly me as you pray to God
and see your countenance beaming with bliss! 

Tormented by despair
wrecking your night, haunted with guilt??
I’m the granted pardon at the crust of your conscience…
confounding you by my mercy and truth
aiding you to confess your sins against reality check---
Regard me soberly, while in full trust* you cling to Christ 
and receive victorious freedom along forgiveness!!

Escaping from fears
robbing you of serenity’s engulfment 
gripping your mind around nagging angst???
I’m the assured peace at the abyss of your soul…
as promised by the Scriptures
ready to thwart your miseries---
Claim me humbly from the Saviour
and ascend toward praise-driven worship fervency!!!

Constantly constrained for earnest service
while prodded against selfish vain
as you struggle from arrogance 
to withstand temptations, trying your fortitude????
I’m the divine nature at the innermost of your faith…
miraculously transforming you from carnality
vanquishing doubts, prayerlessness, unbelief---
Yield to me in your surrender to the Holy Spirit
and live triumphantly for the Sovereign God Who loves you!!!!

The Passion of the Christ

To be predicted means that you’re the fruition, 
Of a rational process, effortful and determined;
We can all predict that someone will soon cure cancer, 
And so Jesus was foretold as medicine’s romancer. 

The name Jesus Christ means predicted saviour, 
And Isaiah 53 verse 5 states that he definitely would be, 
Wounded by the government for the people’s freedoms,
But that because of his wounds society would be superior. 

Those who were intelligent just before Jesus came, 
Felt a wave of change in the medical field,
Where doctors only treated the families of the rich:
The intelligent said that such a wave would equality yield.

When Christ was stressed out, about to be arrested, 
He forsook his medical mind and surrendered all to god;
You can see that the god thing is for trials by government, 
Or today, trials by society when your stance is not odd. 

Upon arrest, the soldiers wanted Jesus of Nazareth, 
Not Jesus the son of god, or the Jesus of any divinity tribe, 
And Jesus simply replied to them “I am he,” squarely and plainly, 
Unlike at his trial, where for speech he had to be bribed. 

The allegation was indeed productivity in profession, 
His work skill, which came and grew from his family roots; 
He got much social power from his healings and exorcisms,
As he had learnt the joinery trade well, had invented new shoots. 

Caiaphus asked if he was a king from the miracles he did, 
Miracles of course being new methods and techniques, 
And he replied to Pilate that god, the church and he himself, 
Determine his actions, that their lee-way is his health. 

Jesus was popular at church, not amongst the government, 
So it was informally considered to be his validator; 
The question was whether the people still saw state over church, 
For common order to be maintained and not left in the lurch. 

He knew he would die for the good he had done in life, 
So inaugurated communion to remember his cause:
Loving the weaker, lower ones no matter who they are, 
Saying everyone should know that personally in applause.
