Hearts in Heaven Bangladesh's Cry: A Linking Pin Sonnet 

The sky held screams—screams torn through burning blue,
Blue smoke descended where small footsteps grew.
Grew bright young dreams in uniforms so white,
White pages turned with innocence and light.

Light left the room when iron wings struck ground,
Ground broke in silence, swallowing every sound.
Sound echoed loud through broken bricks

Premium MemberLet the pin drop

The lying sewer rats have revealed themselves once again 
a tale has surfaced without credit but begs to be king 
this plague and disease has taken away innocent life 
We all can see the scorpion in words published in a sting
the odour leaves an invisible stench deeply within souls rooted 
Our nation has what it

I Will Pour Out My Spirit
A Spence Linking Pin Sonnet — Devotional Voice
 
I will pour out My Spirit like a song,
Song of the heavens falling soft as rain.
Rain on dry bones to raise the lost and wrong,
Wrong turned to right by mercy in the flame.

Flame in the eyes of daughters who now dream,
Dreams of

Premium MemberWorld Enviroment Day Linking Pin Sonnet And Prayer

Creation cries through wind and wave and tree,
Tree roots clutch soil like prayers yearning free.
Free rivers sing, but choked by human hand,
Hand scorched the skies, now breathes a dying land.

Land we were gifted, Eden’s greenest grace,
Grace we forgot, now storms our hearts replace.
Replace the waste with care, the greed with love,
Love heals the earth—our charge

Balls

When first I went ten-pin bowling
was in a league of my own
tho' hot to trot my score was shot
splits and gutterballs set the tone
my opponent bowled professionally
outclassed before I'd begun
she demonstrated then remonstrated
“It's not 'only a game' to some!”
tho' bet my set I'd met my match
when playing each frame for a round
looked like I'm paying

Premium MemberIn Duty's Name - A Linking Pin Sonnet for Memorial Day

Duty calls from valleys deep and wide,
Wide like hearts where brave resolve does bide.
Bide the storms, through fire and endless rain,
Rain of trials met with a calm refrain.

Refrain from fear when darkness clouds the sky,
Sky holds hope where eagles dare to fly.
Fly with honor carved in steel and soul,
Soul forged firm in sacrifice and role.

Role

Pin cushion

Success is drawing blood.
Follow in my tracks.
There's no rush.
Im not missing.
Just off the straight and narrow.
Open to facilitate.
Steadfast to invigorate.
There are drawbacks
But I take the plunge.
Time passed as pastime.
Days blend differently.
Its not my daily grind.
But it helps to get by.

"Faith and Fireworks: Cinco’s Call to Remember"
(A Linking Pin Sonnet in Spence Format – Celebratory & Historical)

Remember the cry, the cause, the stand,
Stand for the faith that defended the land.
Land once trembling rose firm and proud,
Proud were the voices chanting aloud.

Aloud rang truth through valley and hill,
Hill of defiance, God’s sovereign will.
Will of the people,

"Raise the Shields"
(Dr. Spence Linking Pin Sonnet for Child Abuse Prevention Month)

Cries pierce the silence where trust should have grown,
Grown are the shadows where safety's unknown,
Unknown are the wounds that no eye can see,
See how the soul screams while lips whisper "free."

Free them from hands that betray every vow,
Vow to stand firm and protect them

Premium MemberHe Is Risen Linking Pin Sonnet

He Is Risen (A Linking Pin Sonnet in the Spence Style)

The stone was rolled—rolled far from death’s command,
Command could not contain the Son of light.
Light broke the tomb and touched the trembling land,
Land kissed His feet, awakened by His might.

Might bowed to love, for love could not stay dead,
Dead gave way when life began to

Premium MemberPin Pricks

My hands hold the bars
I’m a good prisoner
Hoping to be let out for good behaviour 
Head down
not meeting my jailers eyes

At night when the lights are off
When the moon is in the sky
When men cough and moan in the darkness
I reach through the bars towards the stars
My finger traces that golden orb
My mind explores pin

THE PIN

Arriving at the space
Where everything hinged
I saw it...flapping in the wind
Around and back, again

I took out the pin

And watched matter
Fly in all directions
Motions and potions
Casting out for perfections

Stuck with the pen

Trying write a program
That will return power
To ideas that must form and live
Within every passing hour

One prick of the pin

Blood will surface
Those hungry to eat,

Sometimes it's time to pull the pin,
not to make a din,
but to abide, let it slide,
and sit on the fence
watching the tide come in.

Premium MemberCrystal Pin Prick

A crystal-pin prick at the beginning
a monumental vagueness at the end
the art of carving peace seems quite lost again
in between granite slabs-a tangle of black tragedies
and tiny clusters of downy light upon a peaceful being 

The selfishness of flesh drifting atop the brine  
in an endless maze of the triggered mind
where blue devils tap

Democrats like Damocles Sword's imminent jeopardized positions of power hail her rise,
Decades of teamsters support, NO, Harris-Demos few endorsed her in the public's eyes,
Democrats today are like the Dixiecrats of Dewey's days are playing old-school, sex-race cards,
Repubs set in their ways, and Demos are bendable like what's his face got her on second base, charades.
