About God What Has Appealed

by God we were healed
which about Him has appealed
before in church kneeled

Summer
behuddled,
in winter's shawl-
white bell flowers appealed
the dawn

Saturday reflection I enroute to a trip along the Thames....

She resides in a cave 
Made of her tears 
Only darkness there 
Smell of her tears everywhere 
I lighten the cave and 
Appealed her to get out 
Waiting there , expecting a miracle....

My Fate Was Concealed

Remember when my fate  was revealed,
And none of it to me ever had appealed;
When sun set,
Would forget;
Somewhere unknown  is now concealed.

A great message new priest revealed,
All of the church will have been healed;
Sermon sharing,
Always daring,
And to everyone there he appealed.

For our new priest....

Kipling’s work appealed to children
an innovator in art of short tory

Found God In A Fabulious Field

We had found God in a fabulous field,
Who always liked and to us appealed;
Each moment,
Message sent;
He was there and to Him we did yield.

With Love of God A Lamb Lays

With love of God saw a lamb that lays;
For food wanders while he will graze;
Out in field,
That appealed;
Plays with God and gives Him praise.

The frozen north has never appealed to me
Was born to live in the tropics near the sea
Eighty-six years of cold 
On a tropic isle I'm sold
Love wearing my pretty lei golly gee...

His banana small, inferior bite,
Appealed not to her in the least that night.
Her cantaloupes robust.
He tried for the best thrust.
The hippiness hype just couldn’t make it right....

Some people say I'm outstanding in my field
It's bloody cold and snowy, it's never appealed
Oh you mean I'm clever
That's the sweetest ever
So gonna put on a parka, don't want to congeal...

Yield from Field That Always Appealed

You could always tell when seeing yield,
Which you would find from a long field;
Grain would wave.
On home of brave;
Met all of our needs and had appealed.

Things We Need and Always Agreed

There are things we need  and always agreed;
We should start planting each and every seed,
That in a field;
To us appealed,
And then many mouths may be able to feed.

First taste of life.

Pointless to say.

Appealed to the eye.

Luring me astray.

Although bitter.

Still the sweetest bite.

Ephemeral.

A moment in time.

Eternal recall.

In the theaters of my mind....

Shield From Suffering

From suffering so much need a shield,
Or something which will have appealed
Hoping my suffering soon would quit;
One more thing I surely must admit,
Should see big fish that in I reeled.

Beautiful iris flower,
Some petals folded down ,
Instead,

Many are  upright, however,
Making a pretty crown
Indeed!

Tantalising architecture,
Fragrence in profound,
Appealed !

Nectar lover pollinators,
Straying all around,
Hurried!...

Jazz was born beneath a heap of rubble,
An abandoned stray, her life was a poem
The more she shivered, slunk and tried to hide
The more she appealed to my rescuing side.
It took lots of convincing to bring her home.
She was certainly worth all of the trouble....

Roses never appealed to me!
Ignored I always cool zephyrs!
Fine cuisine never could woo my taste buds 
and exotic fragrances...ah just nonsense!

This's all about my body...

but my heart shivers
at their very thought...
yeah it's so vulnerable...
so sick...love sick!...

There is a trial against me,
I have been punished and cannot be appealed
I guess it is severe than “Life imprisonment”
Or a “Capital Punishment”, sins would be pardoned in heaven
A crime neither I am aware of nor shared
Eternal mental torture I have to bear
The verdict passed with my birth...

I seem to recall
Beauty was your name,
At least I thought so,
You appealed to me
I wanted you, and

You wanted me.
Yes, I could tell,
Your eyes betrayed
you, Beautiful.

Eyes smiling,
now twinkling,
I can tell.

I shall
call you

love.

dream did find in field
to us always had appealed
with much love was sealed

we had been balking
reach point where there is talking
for friend stalking

life was imperil
when we sang christmas carol
screech sounded sterile

issue was skirting
when my back had been hurting
which i was blurting

his name was Cecil
who we heard was a weasel
art work on easel...

what God may have meant
will always need my consent
give up things for Lent 
 (Mitre Box)

we would search and search
for place where new priest can perch
God gave us a church

when born must behave
to ride God gave me great wave
my soul He will save

what God revealed
Pele great on soccer field
to all had appealed

records must compile
of guilty at end of trial
God gave me each file...

in 2009 whilst word-playing around
the trochaic monometer I then found
two lines short& sweet
terse enough to tweet
an integral title is also vital
for this recitative recital
christened it 'footle' as a memorable name
Sadly- it is my only claim to fame

FOR THE RECORD
FIRST FOOTLE Jan 2009 (Plural footles never really appealed- I prefer my original creation)

Bonnie & Clyde

too snide

both died...

Shanita’s face was a map of confidence and strength.
At seventeen, she exuded a majestic feeling, without any haughtiness.
I knew she would master any avenue or occupation that appealed.
Years later I ran into Shanita once again.
Her self-assured face told me immediately …..
She was successful in every area of her life.
She did not have to say it; I could see it in her walk.
And the way she greeted everyone with respect....

"They should stop kissing babies
and write poetry."

He meant the politicians.	
I nodded in agreement.

The idea appealed,
then I thought of all
the bad poetry in the world.

"Art lifts us above the base condition,
it inspires us beyond the personal."

His words seemed plausible,
until I recalled
that Hitler was an artist,
Mao and other dictators
wrote poetry.

I shuddered,
a man is judged by the company he keeps....
