Michelangelo (Buonarotti),

Candles flickered faint
Sistine Chapel he did paint
Though he was no saint

The 8th Year

In confessionals of doubt
he chased absolution
The devil unmasked
—his penance forsworn  

(Washington Chapel: November, 2021)

Premium Member Out of the corner of my eye

Stopped cold in my tracks.
The sistine chapel reflected in a pond.
In my heart a prayer.

Welsh Sabbath

I guess we missed chapel again
But rugby is never a sin!
We pray for the ball
If that don't beat all
We pray our opponents won't win!

Cool breezy chapel,
Summer wedding— pastor’s voice
Climbs into the bride’s 

Ears, the groom whispers to God;
A baby cries— rings exchanged.

It caused all of the nuns to frown
For - to their dismay -

On Sundays, Welsh wives go to chapel
Each one of them ready to grappel
Not for an hymn book
Nor Minister's look
They just want a bite of Eve's apple!

Beautiful Linda became a nun,
prayed in the Chapel forgiving John
who swore her faithfulness
with very solemn words...
she did not know that he was a con!

Mission Santa Ines

Valley's hidden jewel so rare.
Green hills, trees of oak and clean air.
Neophytes loved priests who gave care.
Saved the chapel.
Hated soldiers killing most there.
After grapple.

Thirty Years Ago

Man and woman, pledging no more to be single
Bride and groom, excited that their lives would mingle.
Husband and wife, in love, with hopes and dreams aglow
We were married at the chapel, thirty years ago.

Iconoclast

Like an iconoclast -
who desperately wants to remove
the portrayal of a false god
from the mural -
I want to relegate you;
your image from the chapel of my mind.
Oh, how I wish to do this tonight..!

Self-Image

When left all alone
   In charge and
In one place,
Their are only
Three places' that
One can find one's
     Self....
That is in the Church
     In the Chapel
And in the
   Tabernacle of God

River Line

Just a brittle bar of marble
slotted into a chapel wall
translucent white on salmon pink
with a phrase to explain.  That's all.
The line in silent eloquence defines
where Rome's flood water flowed, so long ago.

Premium Member Chicken Fried

There was a young redneck from Chapel Hill
He was good at cooking up quite a meal
While known near and far
For stewed alligator gar
His specialty was chicken fried road kill

The Dance

Sugar plum fairies dance in their
Heads while they dance the dances
On ballroom pillows. Princes hold tiny
Princess hands while they twirl and dip.
The music rising, rising, ever so
Softly up to the top of the chapel.

To the Bottom of Barregarrow

Past the crossroads the road drops down
Full throttle impetus a projection through space

Entry to the White Chapel a hundred and twenty  
Wheels barely touching the ground

A test of man should he wish
To attempt his best

Blood Stains

Compelled to fight dirty,
in attempts to stay clean
The shadows conscripted,
clandestine and mean
Surprise as an ally,
you stalk and you spy
To vanquish the monster
—declawed and defied
