The colors of sunshine, a sense of the soul

A bold warrior goddess
Aided Odysseus
As he murdered Trojans

A scary Gorgon, FREEZE
Aptly spins perfect web

The old man is steamed with a pot on his head
Ice tea has no dibs on this tea cozy aptly fed.
We don’t know his name, thinks his dog calls him Fred.
Don’t get close to the steam, it will burn your hand red....

Prize your own pace where light moves show,
Art in clear trace helps you to know;
Craft sacred space that helps you grow,
Etch a fond place as joy meets flow.

Princess was a cat aptly and appropriately named.
She had gorgeous blue eyes not in the least tamed.
Her mother dressed her in silk gowns of royal azure blue.
She was treated like a princess, or a queen, also or too....

As comforted by, Autumn eve
With it, approaching
Choice grim hansom requested of
The sombre-inclined.

Aptly quaint, to be enclosed
And snuck away in
Misty-glassed, puce velvet-hung, down
Dim pasts that does wind....

Lift light lovely with words wisely;
Unfurl and see joy that knows grace,
Etch ends easy as aim aptly.

kingdom come in my sleep
While my dream is very deep
Showing me colors I don’t know
Sharing where my soul will go

Heaven is just like I thought
A memory I never sought
Road to paradise aptly taught
I slumber peacefully on my cot...

There once was a prolific chef named Stu,

   Who whipped up vittles for a Navy crew.

      He was aptly named,

         And was also famed,

            For concocting a most sumptuous stew.

Etch feelings clear in touch that shows;
Aptly purge fear as soul sparks bright,
Prize love most dear with ample flow.

Tyburn poems take thought
       to construct them aptly
    their syllable count is:
             two two two two nine nine
          try finding four short rhymes
                   that lend to the couplet
                the gist of the poem

Some words are very ancient,
some words are relatively new
There are words to describe every occasion,
words that aptly characterize me and you
But for the many names given to God we call,
God said He is defined by one word:
God is LOVE
Amen
That says it all...

Bringing out the light from the dark
Expunge evil from a makers mark

God cleanse it, the deftness aptly applied
Dumbness and deafness, captured astride

Too daft to get it, to pray, instead let it
Too deep inside, eating, without the wit

To see the honest truth
See yourself to the booth...

A painting a day for ten weeks
Each different, unique-
In this flurry of work
Blur of despair,Vincent did depart,
Before pointing a gun to his heart

These 70+ paintings + (aptly) yellow flowers bedecked his death-bed scene.

An inadequate tribute to a genious and misunderstood man...

They got to make the inhabitants walk the plank, and they ran some through
