Morning leaps high,
Through chanted eyes,
Through tall switch grass, but
Awaken by this patch of light
Oh Lord, this morning has broken...

Nameless, 
For me, you happiness, remained 

Till 

The beats of my heart chanted 
Her name!

God Has Granted

God many things to me He has granted;
And in my mind many poems planted;
Always at ease,
Like a breeze;
Amen chorus in church to Him we chanted.

why would love wait
or heart hesitate
to express embrace 
as outpourings of grace

seeds are planted
as soft prayers chanted
which in time will blossom
in the favoured one’s bosom...

Choir When They Chanted

God had said that we would be granted,
Some seeds for food  which we planted;
Grew and grew,
Until through,
Stimulated by choir when they chanted.

America’s decline…
war chanted whines
A nation in half
quicksand in our path

Altruism dead
alone in our beds
No one left to blame
—married to our shame

The magician blew clouds of dust
from the ancient spell book:
‘Necromancy: Satisfy Your Lust.’
He chanted long and hard, but came unstuck,
and cried, ‘My strip-o-grams are rotten. Yuk.’

I loved you much more than myself  losing my self respect! 
I know it hurts but you were my parasol. 
Evil chanted it's whimsical words I guess.
You have changed I mean it! 
It's like broken mirror, can't put it back together...

checkered cheetah Chancy chanted cheery chipper chant
Chimpanzee curiously concentrated ‘cause cheetah can’t.
cackling cadaver’s cadence cheered chimp’s cheery chance.
delivering devious devilish Dracula during Desmond’s dance....

As the dim house weeps nearby
She starts her spell here
Chants are engaged from her soul
Blood spills from a tear
Boils the potion made
From the cauldron that she holds
Powers strewn she laid

I wish I could write
a simple poem like the kind
they read in church.
Poems with simple words 
"heart," and "soul," 
the kind that 
stay written down and chanted.
I am not
a sour puss.
My tear ducts open
just when the sentiment rushes.
I worship.
Why can't I write a hymn?...

A match is struck
   A flame is lit
Prayers are chanted
   Season of spirit
 
The candle burns bright
   Warm, happy glow
Dispels gloom of night
   Its blessing bestowed

The candle of Hannukah
   Tiny pinpoint of light
Faith's humble reminder
   ~ Right over Might...

his signature sound
in spoken-word poetry
rythmically chanted

rhetorical styles
unique form of expression
flow, theme to the ryhme

creative wordplays
freestyled live in the battle
lightly strike the crowds

Start Sailing Slower Surely Soon

Should start sailing slower surely soon;
Mind melded making magnificent moon;
Chanted charade;
Constant cavalcade;
Then think that tremendous turned the tune.

You can turn into all sorts of things
that will include a tremendous tune.

Gods most everywhere
on display

ornate their frames

honored even those of
cold marble
of glass though stained

dusted polished touched-up
refurbished when chipped

more luster gold dipped

on album covers
chanted and sung
bronze coated highly rung

Gods man’s stutter before
one truth --...

nine small girls who walked in line
waited for a piece of cake sublime.
the guest of honor took her time
bringing them each a chunk to dine

the girls were patient their upbringing fine
they chanted stories, all told in rhyme
they were all clean, there was no brime
Guest of honor was not named Madeline...

Higher consciousness can be attained through chanting.
"OM" is a popular chant within many a religion,
including but not limited to Jainism, Hinduism and Buddhism.
I do my share of chanting now and again,
but I don't chant "OM," I chant "Amen"
a chant that while chanted can also sung,
Amen, Amen, over and over again....

Steampunk mouse was at the finish line
Driving his teapot with gears so fine
The rest of us chanted the steampunk song
Wanting him to stop and wave at our throng

Steampunk mouse came in first at first
But a ruling was made, second was announced.
Something made this a tiny bit worse…
At finish line a huge cat got him when he pounced....

Country music brings me

     Comfort when I'm weary

          Cheer when I'm unhappy-

               Chanted by Hank Williams

          Conveyed by Johnny Cash-

     Converts a frown to smile-

Changing my perspective.

There it was loud on the intercom
“Please come to the office, Tom’
And just like a bad sitcom
They dropped the bomb
No discussion just a blunt axiom
Told to grab his pompom
And march off to Guam
To retrieve a precious rhomb
Tom was in quite a conundrum
So he went home and chanted Om

Phantom white,

illuminated by the flight

 of the stars across my eyes

bursting power synchronized

with the rising of the moon

chanted in an ancient rune

spoken secretly by slaves

bowing at their master's graves 

in the pyramids of pain

where I meet you once again

on your way to someone new......

another soul to worship you....
