eve’s congregants on high….vesper’s

Premium Member Fume-Ing Mad

There was a commotion in the church pews
Town drunk had opened a bottle of booze
   All the congregants stared
   The town drunk wasn't scared
Belched and said, "Wait 'till I take off my shoes!"

Universalis Intuitus

Synderesis primal,
as reason surrounds
First principles calling,
eternity bound

The well ever deepening,
more buckets to haul
New congregants pledging
—awaiting the call

Premium Member As the Flock Goes, So Flows the Priest

  Should priests get married
    It depends what they do

  If they counsel mostly marrieds
    then priests should be too

  While a church of congregants single
     ~ Be wary of priests who intermingle

Premium Member Parson Ezra Heap

Once there was a parson named Ezra Heap

   Whose Sunday sermons were profoundly deep

      The louder Ezra implored

         The more his congregants snored

            He could never arouse them from their sleep

Premium Member Mark Twain's Words I Choose

Sentenced to jail for running a multi-million dollar donation fraud
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, feigning piety, abused congregants' trust in God

   I'll rely on Mark Twain, whose wise words I now choose
   As he pithily said, "Never judge Judaism by the Jews."
Form: Epigram

Premium Member Maniacal Madmen

   
     maniacal madmen
        ply their trade
     naïve congregants
        for years they’ve played

     bread crumb tales of purloined verse
        of broken hearts, crushed souls
     miraculous promises mangled
        jilted angels dangled
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member The Preacher

He preaches with a heavy hand
laid upon the Word of God.
No need to be seated on a throne.
He’s at eye level with his congregants.

if he avoided their gaze, as if
his eyes shielded the sun,
and blathered on, as if nobody cared,
then they could let their eyes roll and yawn.

Firmly, he holds up that Word of old,
for this preacher cares, oh he cares
so deeply for their souls, so deeply
he will divide the wheat from the chaff.

I Love Your Dreams, Too

Inspired by a recent poem posted by Sunlite Wanter.Thanx, Deo, SENRYU20180708
dreams drum in living colors -- your heart has God's image, skin: you speak for disabled, even richly so
(c)Deo; I usually do not have two poems on LORDS DAYS/Sundays. I felt energized after two worship services, and a hospital visit to comfort one of our congregants. Something about Sunlite Wanter's writing is larger than life. PTL
