Premium Member High and Unbeholdable

And the Lord said,
Lo and behold,
Take this day of rest
And gaze directly into
The high and unbeholdable.

Fabrication

There was a lady from Trent
Who could not pay her rent.
She stitched and sewed
And lo and behold
She now resides in a tent.

I lost my old bucket so sadly,
And felt oh so terribly badly;
Then lo and behold
A pot full of gold!
I'd lose me another and gladly.

My wife decided to make noodles
 Which was quite fast which I ate
Lo and behold dinner was ready
But I was already full with fast food

Premium Member Pastel

Posh and pale, but lightness you can feel

Absorbs darkness that kneel

Softness in every nook and household 

Tenderness in the cold, lo and behold

Each color speaks

Loneliness and pains vanish, leaks

Premium Member PEOPLE IN OUR LIFE

May we be blessed to have people in our life
Young and old…
who lo and behold…

when they speak…
we only hear the singing of the birds
and when they whisper in our ears…
it is our heart that hears their words

Premium Member HANDS RAISED IN PRAISE CELEBRATING-

I wasn't entrusted soul; Bartering to be whole; The leaf of my arms; My hands in prayer mode; Liken a squirrel nibbling holding his food; Lo' and behold; I am resonating; Hands raised in praise celebrating;

Premium Member My Garden's Triple Crown

Lo and behold, a marigold
  Like nectar to sip, a bright tulip
No chill, just a thrill, a daffodil
  Hold that perfect pose, M'ss Rose

When life has me down
  When the world wears a frown
My garden sports a triple crown
  Fragrance, color, God's grace
    ~ Sun-up to sundown

Premium Member Deadlines

I had a meeting to submit my work
I had stayed awake all night putting
  finishing touches to the project
I rushed out of the house to meet the cab
The deadline was 9:00am I was rushing
  to meet it
Lo and behold arriving the venue 
I realized I had left the manuscript
  on my table.

Valentine Thing

Lo and behold! Who would have ever known? 
Two decades, plus --we’ve watched unfold.  

Each Step we share, whether here or there;
Amazingly, our love has grown. 

I must admit, if truth be told; this thing we have 
is like diamonds and gold.

Won’t you be my sweet Valentine? Hurry, come see me,
Before I grow old.

Premium Member Scratched Off a Winner

I thought I would take a chance the other night. The move I made turned out to be right. I scratched the silver coating off the ticket I bought. Lo and behold, see the winning combination I caught! I feel like going on a shopping spree. Hello lottery agent, show me the money! Inspired by another member's poem

Premium Member Appointment

He called toll-free for an appointment with Pain
Twenty years in advance next December
  They squeezed him in 'tween two elderly gents
  "Bring your wrinkles and aches, please remember."

The girl said "Hmmmm" shaped in a frown
"I'm afraid there's one last bill to pay."
  He glanced in the mirror and lo and behold
  There was his coffin so gray.

Red Fortitude

Lo' and behold,
There it sits
Red Fortitude,
Under an ocean of blue,

Amidst pale yellow plaster,
Towering above,
And a foliage of green
That crowds for a view.

The sun whispers phrases
Enchantments that only shadows construe
And yet unphased by its neighbours
Lost in thoughts of its own
There it sits
Red Fortitude
Under an ocean of blue.

Premium Member Dancin' Sue

There was a lady named Susan
Always worryin’, frettin’ and stewin’
Talkin’ woe is me’ to old man Lance
Who coaxed and cajoled her to dance

Lo and behold! They could cut a rug
Doin' the cha-cha and jitterbug
Soon the talk of the town
They danced every dance around

Smilin’ Sue found it all so confusin’
That grinnin’ Lance thought it all so amusin'

Autumn

The air around me is still,
and quiet. Leaves spiral
vertically to the ground,
gradually carpeting the 
main road. As I step on
the road, I feel as though
my feet are disappearing
into the leaves; I can't
see my feet, but I can feel
them. As I look above,
Lo and Behold!
I see trees' canopies faintly
glowing in ember
in the fading sun.....

Premium Member Rain Nap

This is my peaceful time of day
To grab a pen and write
Late in the day as clouds come my way
On a rainy day short of light
  
Raindrops tapping my window light
With question who are you
Good question and answer I might
A writer with nothing to do
  
Secret of life lo and behold
Flash the ultimate prize
But the cloudy day and raindrops soft
Has nod my head closed my eyes

Loveliness

Lo and behold the beauty within
on gossamer wings I fly,
veiled moonlight and what it brings
eyes shining a pure green.
lonely the night when you are young and in pain
In visualising the joy of loving again
now I must flutter like a dazzled moth
evermore seeking that one person , my
soulmate somewhere waits for me, please
shine your light, so that I can see.

There Once Was

There once was a can
That got kicked by a man
That once was batman
Candy he gathered
In a round pumpkin can
Trickery got him a treat
Robin was his brother
Switching customs with
One another a trick
For more treats
Dressed as one another
No one knew who was who
Gathering our candy fortune
With caution not to be seen
Lo and behold or mother knew
With a laughter so loud 
While eating our candy treats

Love

It wraps you in its fold
so hot, and then so cold
locks you up in its stronghold
and then, begins to mold
your life and character round its hold
believe it or not, it's very bold
shines in your eyes like the finest gold
it's like a story waiting to be told
by pages and heralds as in the days of old
so precious, that it can't be sold
and all of a sudden, lo and behold,
you're caught up under its staggering load!

Battle For the High Seas

Lo and Behold

A Subterranean grip

Alas a woman's mass appears in this Word Trip

She cries for Ahab to head ashore "Give the creature the slip"!

Avast a wide mast unfurls across the ship 

The Captain's cries for the harpoon are drowned out by the cracked whip 

The wondrous size of the White Whale appears from the drip 

The sheer weight of the beast causing the schooner to flip 

The showdown is on 

between Captain Ahab and Moby Dick

Heartbreak Peddler

I peddled a song round the streets
And found that not many were keen

The solemn church bell or the shout of cannon
Or at least the selfseeking drone
Of selling and buying and lying down prone
Was more to their taste

In haste  I switched wares
And peddled long shares
Making over the song
To the young fool who happened along

I hear he has gone to the desert and sings
The same song and lo and behold
It ‘s breaking the heart in the young and the old

Counterclockwise

Frozen in time,right before my eyes
suddenly my life reversed counterclockwise
moving right along with no hesitation 
I begin to move backwards I lost concentration
  
Reminiscing about my past history
entertaining doubt,confusion and misery
driven to despair from the effect of my condition
blinded my thoughts I lost my position
 
"Lo and Behold"I was set free
ambition came to rescue me
moving forward with my eyes set 
on the prize,never to revisit counterclockwise.

Fingerprints of the Gods

Outside the Pyramid I saw a hologram;
very certain it wasn't a man-made program.

The hologram displayed ghostly images
similar to the ones in Thoth's pages.

Lo and behold!
hieroglyphs of gold!

They were brilliant,
even in the night!

The hologram seemed to have a soul,
igniting the hieroglyphs on pillars so tall.

Messages from beyond,
seemed to scream on our land.

The conspirators of time seemed to awaken
us from the sleep we were forsaken....
