A rage results:
the orange dolt’s
been at the tweets.
Or truths they’re called -
I am appalled;
please bring receipts.
Then Harris talks -
word salad pox
from pre-typed sheets.
Oh, RFK
You had the day,
why the retreats?

Empty is nest
birds have flown west
for money's quest
we are lonesome.
No other sounds
Now peace around
Hear our own pounds
Peace is irksome

Beside the sea
While roaming free
He spoke to me
And laid His claim.
Away from noise
I heard His voice
I made my choice
And called His name.
1)”Remember what peace there may be in silence.”

Cosmic Tune
We are alive
on Earth to thrive
produce, survive
within life’s span,
With stars, Sun, Moon,
nature commune
in cosmic tune
and endless plan.

Grace, God’s pleasure,
is His treasure,
in bold measure
beautiful grace.
Christ bore the dross
of worldly loss
upon His cross.
He took our place.
Accused of sham
the great I Am
our paschal Lamb
in love’s embrace.
When people grope
He is our hope,
the means to cope,
His body raised.

A rhupunt (RHEE– PINT) is a Welch form consisting of three, four or more lines of four syllables with a rhyming scheme. It will be seen that the last lines of each stanza rhyme and the other lines rhyme with each other within the stanza. For example, in a three-line stanza the pattern would be a, a, B. / c, c, B. / d, d, B. Four-line stanzas would rhyme a, a, a, B. / c, c, c, B. / d, d, d, B. and so on. . .

[in Rhyme Rhupunt: a,a,a,b c,c,c,b]
At water’s edge there danced below,
amid the ripple and the flow,
royal blue and sun aglow—
and ragged clouds in limpid sky.
Standing tall and stately there,
swaying in the languid air,
a mighty oak in quiet prayer—
and not a soul to reason why.
Long ago when earth was young,
and all alive had common tongue,
songs of praise were often sung—
to sacred trees that beckoned all.
But time will always stir the brew;
Men soon forgot the hymns they knew;
came next the ax, its certain hew—
then dread silence, gruesome pall.
Yet Oak survived, of all that were,
whose buried might began to stir—
its dreams for earth none could deter—
for it had promises to keep.
Oak then rent thunderous all the earth,
forged resplendent its rebirth.
accorded thus eternal worth—
serene the tree then welcomed sleep.
