Noah had a mission
	Build an ark on commission
		Fill it full of animal pairs
			To square away human affairs

straight to the point,without guile
He loved lush reds& coppery green

So prodigious *over six decades
royal commission she obeyed

Santa knew he had a special mission
To make sure Putin's out of commission
With his sleigh of dynamite
Disguised as presents tonight
Down Putin's chimney upon ignition

Mission San Miguel Arcangel

Valley's fine productive mission.
Native paintings, no commission.
They survive without attrition.
Field hands, herdsmen.
Place of peace and good nutrition.
Goats and sheep-pen.

Our Conviction Trinity Sunday

Our Conviction Trinity Sunday

From God, we are given a commission,
We always receive with apprehension;
Do go His way,
Night and day;
His plans must be part of our conviction.

My granddaughter walks dogs for a living So you'd think she'd be in control, that's a given Was walking five at one time A fight broke out, got intertwined Was bitten causing blood putting her out of commission

    Errors of commission
      divulging those of omission

Premium Member The Unlit Candle

"The light of the world.” 

Those who carry out the Great Commission 
Are 'oft mistaken in their hopeful persuasion 
That truth once spoken will ignite faith outright.
Yet, ‘tis the unlit candle must come to the light.

Disciple

A Disciple puts'
           His 
Attributes' into action
     And his things'
Into a power of commission'
       But, a
Missing disciple
    A plain man
Of God persistently
Turn's to a life of omission
      And turn things' too
           And FRO

Premium Member Mistakes of the Heart

Looking back, 
my mistakes,
if such they were,
were of omission 
rather than commission.
My caution
and lack of nerve
leaving me
with naught but
a basket full of
might have beens.

Which is why
I must now, 
seize this day
with you.

Want of Profanity

The want of profanity 
And the sheer dearth of warmth
Has vowed  for a whole eternity
That it shall commission rust and moth
To chew away in a colossal calamity
All the cordial bonds between man and man,
For he  has employed both knife and gun
In aid of his doom!

Submission

Submission
Please grant me my submission,
    for my great commission,
        of crimes in uncertain times.

I think my dear we can work it out,
  if you will think about,
      the fact I no longer act the lout.

Loud and Wild

The power of the written word
  the spoken word supreme

Ink to then commission
  what only breath can glean

Soldiers line up back to back
  letters ranked and filed

The command to march just given once
  —its war chant loud and wild

Sham and Sorcery

The Super-hero swings his sword
Down clang, clang, clang,
It rang, rang, rang,
Went bang, bang, bang
On his foeman’s thick, thick skull.

The publishers commission more
Such tales, tales, tales,
(More sales, sales, sales!)
And males, males, males
Will imagine they’re Conan or Kull.

Premium Member Mesozoic

A baby boomer, late bloomer, at times a doom and gloom er.
Eats blueberries, says Hail Mary's, believes in leprechauns and fairies.
Works on commission, has good nutrition, too impatient to ever go fishing.
Sings in C, off key but always very happily.
Never a stoic, brave and heroic. Lately feeling mesozoic.

Disciple

*********
A disciple put's 
       His attributes'
Into action and
    His thing's
Into a power 
          - Of -
      Commission
           But, 
A missing disciple,
A plain man before God,
Persistently turn's to a life
                  Of omission
       And turn's things'
            To and fro

Premium Member ON THE HORIZON

this 'poem' is to inform those who follow my poems and to those whose poems I follow that I will be having carpal tunnel surgery on Monday, January 12.  After that time I will be out  of 'poetry commission' for a while.  

I just didn't want to stop participating and not keep you informed.  Looking foward to a return in the near future, warm wishes, Sara Etgen-Baker

Commission Into Tweed

The Harlequins of the night
languish their last aura 
Lilly eyed clowns await
commissioners bleed into tweed
Rivillers  errantly play drums
Damsels failing in their appeal
Adventurers sent back
Running on empty
the night people slide in between

Those old sinners head for the valleys
backing their wasted years 
No prayers are said, just the orbital of silence
