Manna Poems - Poems about Manna

On one old album cover from my early high school days, four young men pose casually in the center doorway of a weathered beige adobe-looking building with some cracks in its walls. From left to right, they are dressed in western shirts blue, black, and brown respectively. The center guy is crouched down, arms on his thighs wearing a white shirt and...

As my limbs grow feeble and now wobble, My old wish every new year, a manna, Easily reached by my legs that hobble. Brought to me like in the sacks of Santa. Though, no work deserves no pay as they say, But my muscles are just too weak to toil, Many more years, I wish my mind to stay. Let not hunger...

They used to put the mentally unstable away for their own good and for the good of society they say. Society evolved and said NO! this is wrong. So, they closed the institutions releasing the unstable from their stables- praying that society would stabilize. Now we've got tent cities brimming with instability.

A soloist Java Sparrow flits, A cathedral canopy of arched branched leaves, The sparkling daylight dances the vast green space, Moss glut rock form protrudes aground sits, Pews of raw design entertain flocks trade eaves, Sparrows respect prompts to spring cascading grace, Heaven gifted natural blessings flow, Dove coos the flock of Sparrow's faithful pace, A breath of peace on Earth nature receives, Bestilled...

And often as I pen to please ideas that stir like...

Tommy’s battle is in the bulge. So much marmite in his pantry. Celebrating, he does indulge. Souper Choir laments in chantry. What is this edible cement? I’ve not the wherewithal to find. Is it a sin not to try? Hell-bent? To Tommy, I better be kind. I opened the black jar with the bright yellow lid for marmite cause and Tommy all I saw was...

The Rustic Crusts of Manna Davie J Walker I am the one who stripped the Sponsor from my jersey And the number meaning nothing But an identity recorded in a dry book Making me invisible to the Odd gods of your reality You speak my own language In ways that defy life or death Or the direction of the...

Thrice better is the cowardly creeper Than a passionless lion laxing tame, Who toothless lies as lesser beasts Plot and paw jungle's sleeker game. More inspiring than any genius wit Is the dim-footed guesser ever out For new surprises both foul and fit, Taxing dumb Luck's diamond pout. Let swifter-going synanthrope felines Feast on cowering polar bears' meal; And such fast ever-trying...
