He tells me I have already taken parts of his heart,
So I will make certain to never suddenly depart
As I am fully embracing this newest love's beautiful start.

The newest addition to my family
My bro-in-law christened him Milo
Another named him Jimmy
He’s more like a Chuckie
to me—driving me loco
The greenest eyes
He’s pretty lucky
He loves pink salmon
and playing catch
with crumpled paper I toss,
the unwanted poems I scratch
Biggie (aka) needs weight loss
I tumbled as I stepped over him,
A simple little thing
By eliminating gravy ‘til he gets slim
Pet adopting
It’s what the New Year will bring

Largely overlooked
Juneteenth Independence Day, Freedom Day
Emancipation Day – commemorates the end of slavery
In the United States
Most States that is
There are 20 states still holding out
In 1863 slaves were freed
Texas withheld the information
It wasn't until 1865 that the slaves were
finally told by soldiers at the end of the war.
Union Army Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger rode into
Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3
Proclaiming that the enslaved
African Americans there were free.
Let us be brave and not hide history and rejoice in
the emancipation day.

I believe my newest power animal is a Kansas snake
As I have a ten foot black rat snake in my driveway
She is beginning to go up my siding, and she is beautiful
I look her up, and see she eats mice, birds and bunnies.
The snake is a messenger of the rainbow.
This makes sense, it is my birthday.
I have always had a rainbow.
She brings the power to remain calm in a world of chaos.
Snake power signifies renewal, transformation and rebirth.
They bring a capability to experience a new dimension of life.
The snake is an ally who can help you navigate challenges.
I feel thrilled that my new power animal is the snake!

Keeps trying to pull herself together:
Objects scatters and tries to them gather;
Hard to swallow his withdrawal from her world.
Clean-shaven head she’d cajoled for being bald
She should never forget the month of May,
When God in her life allowed Death a say.
Julius had promised her everything:
“All my envious feuding brothers Nothing”
Their world and lot shall, again, turn golden,
Although, all his companies are folding…
Alas! She, Stella, had got it all wrong,
Her enemies to break into a song.
She’ll have to hold on to memories:
In her mind a neatly filed series…
She knows they’ve coming for her long hair,
The scissors that shall attack it won’t care.
What they can’t take from her his mansion,
They had better not the topic mention.
She’s ready to make phone calls for a Jeep;
A full army that makes giants weeps!

On the day their wedding was fixed
Long liberal movement was risked
And away The Newest Bride whisked
From a Sea of Blacks with Whites mixed...
Brenda known to have sometimes frisked
In death zones or The Asterisked,
Never fearing to be up mixed
With persons whose motives are mixed...
Now,she can't be found in a midst:
In disturbed eyes gathering mist...
Brenda had failed to settle Dan:
The man with gift she didn't ban;
Fears Dan might her beat like a pan;
Not her want to return his fan.

It’s the first day of school and I’m really quite nervous.
I don’t know how everyone will react to me.
I wonder what should be my first order of business.
Should I make friends right away or just let it be?
I moved here from the city where I always rode the bus,
But, here in this small town, I live only blocks from the school.
When you’re the new person like me, people tend to make a fuss,
Trying to decide whether or not you’re very cool.
My mother told me just before I left this morning
To just be myself and keep my head held up high.
She said we each have a story and none is boring.
If you always tell the truth, you’ll never have to lie.
I walk in the front door, trying to hide my fear,
Hoping noone can tell that I’m trembling inside.
The principal tells me that just because I’m new here
Doesn’t mean that it will always be a rough ride.
So, I gathered my things and hurried off to my class,
Where we all introduced ourselves politely, in turn.
Since I was the newest addition, I went last.
I stood up and told my new students, “My name is Ms. Kern.”

I heard it’s absolutely sublime.
Get yours today, it is divine!
It erases any and all reality of inflation.
Keeps you on a mental-denial vacation.
The vaccine is named,,,”DONKEYPOX!”
Ensures happiness, even though you
cannot afford a pair of socks?
You’ll be just overjoyed to pay more taxes.
As your freedoms are chopped to pieces with
sharpened political axes!
As the US Constitution is put in a blender
to grind to a political stew….
You just smile, living in the latest tent city,
with a magnificent view?
I really, sincerely, do not mean to scare ya!
But this country is more like Venezuela!
Your home is no longer a safe place.
We are all up for IRS invasion~ a total disgrace!
Armed with guns, to put in your face!
You need not be rich~ as to our government,
Your hard earned money is theirs and
Is as delicious as golden, Hawaiian honey!

Though you’re the newest member of the Steve Miller Band Crowd,
You’re a wonderful addition… please keep that in mind.
Nothing but praise have your co-workers mentioned out loud.
They speak of you fondly and say that you are quite kind.

Clad in just a diaper,
Nestled in his father’s lap,
A brand-new baby’s by the river,
Deep into a nap.
I think he needs a blanket
Since the bench is in the shade,
But his parents seem relaxed
With the decision they have made.
I’d guess that not a week ago,
That newborn babe was curled
In the cozy womb, yet now he’s here,
A member of the world.

Today, three years too late - almost - I read a short, insightful article by Daniel Henderson ("Holy Spirit ... Come? Or Control?" 2019(c) Daniel Henderson). I am so thrilled. I have good help in explaining New Testament theology.
II
Thank you Daniel come again
Yes. For me: Daniel has come again
To tame the lions of charismatic over-reach
Such because weak or new believers
Feel less, unless -
They join a bandwagon: "More, Spirit, more!"
Bandwagon Balderdash?
I said it, as a Poet, I wrote it
Last month already: "Jesus's best deposit" -
Holy spirit comes to indwell all as an escrow
Guarantee that Jesus claims us,
He will only leave if we leave LORD JESUS
No need to run all over, looking for more of the Most
Gentle, the Most
Holy Spirit
Of God
Also known as, GODS SPIRIT OF HOLINESS
III (Daniel HENDERSON explained):
" ...like other common elements of Christian vernacular, it [asking Spirit to come] is nit in the Bible. Nir is it a prayer consistent with the new covenant secured for us by the precious blood of Christ."

Their wedding cake is perfect flour,
Rich, Fresh: A Never–To–Sour,
‘Pink Rose’ The Bride’s flower’,
A bouquet holding with excited power …
‘Husband and wife’ pronounced at Jesus hour,
As enemies helplessly glower,
While above them they tower,
Neatly forcing them to cower …
St. John’s Church Newest Couple,
Looking wondrously ‘The Supple’
To never themselves overreach
Nor matrimonial contract breach …
And what to that say, All Men?
An Earth-shaking “Amen!”

There was a young lady from Macon
Who cooked up a big batch of bacon
Her boyfriend ate some
And so did a bum
Now both of their bellies are aching
