G HERBERT WALL
An oldtime poet named Herbert
wrote verse forms to divert
Poesy with a coloured pic
this emblem was his party trick

George Herbert gave verse a shape
in patterns he poetry did drape
He also created many syllabic forms
with him poetic training was born

Tis the fate believers buy.
That when they sin hallow,
Then affliction will them swallow.

So versatile was George
many a new form he did forge
mixing poetry with emblems **was smart
His churche floore* poetic art

Herbert did not say much about his proficient reading cow.
But she read at an eighth-grade level, none of us knew how.
We saw her reading the newspaper and an encyclopedia too.
Unlike other cows, this literary appreciator never said “moo”.

EPITAPH
Here lies the body of Herbert Morting,
Who died of an overdose of courting.
He would have lived, I have no doubt
But for the fact his wife found out.

As I gather the rasberries
Thinking only of you
With Dove's coo to entertain me
As he sings his love too
I will have to wash in water
Damaged ones will have to curr
Like God takes the damaged sir
Transforms into another

Forgiving Doesn’t Mean Forgetting
Haiku: by Miracle Man
November 15, 2021
Everyone’s treated
unjust at some time in life;
forgive and move on.
“He who cannot forgive others
destroys the bridge over which he himself must pass.”
George Herbert

The wife of LBJ, known to all as 'Ladybird'
was famous for the following words
'Plant a tree, a shrub, or a bush'
She never dreamed they'd lead to
two more Texans in the White House
First the father, George Herbert Walker
Then the son, smart-alecky George W. Bush!

Think not my silence forgetfulness
my meaning now to you declare,
my resolution to be
all in this poetry
and
bear fruit in your soul
such fruit
of my observations will I’m sure
bless you more and more
yet
you will pardon my haste
and forgive
if my verse
is not entirely
to your taste
From George Herbert letters 1,2,3,4,8
