Clerihew

Edmund Clerihew Bentley,

practiced his craft so intently.

This clever creation still echoes in halls,

outlasting his pricey education at St. Paul’s.



When I read the WIKI'd the 411 on Bentley, I as enthralled. His "HEW" on Sir James Dewar is a classic.

Memories

Lingering bits of joy
Outlasting grey episodes of sadness
Always prevailing in fading shadows

Laughter's light always shinning

Hope sustaining faith
Love deposing evil
Age the friend of reason

It is but to assume the role

The journey is the play

Encores await

Child

Play in the sandbox bury your toys
Androgynous youth girls and boys
Dolls for girls no matter the age
Trucks for boys play in the sage
Lift my spirit child of mine
Playful soul outlasting time
Boys wear dresses 
Girls wear pants
Androgynous youth
Play in the sand
Laughter and singing
Dancing and fun
Summers playful heat
Glorious fun

Perennials In Their Seasons

Winter perennials lavished with hope
under layers of crisp snow
waiting their turn 

Spring perennials hope to be noticed
duller than annuals
but more dependable and loyal

Summer perennials outlasting the annuals
proudly soaking up morning dew
last men standing

Fall perennials going away gently
giving their seeds gladly
easy like trees

My Team

Hopeful in the face of defeat
Outlasting their opponents
Urging the fans into frenzy
Standing the test of time
Taking every play to the limit
Offensively growing each season
Name bringing smile to faces

Team united toward a goal
Each player working as one
Xenium to the Lone Star State
Aggressively seeking victory
Never quitting always fighting
Sunday gladiators

Palms Up

. for public domain 

We are, our memories,
flesh and blood,
matrimonial plans and parenthood;
and all desires
that come to naught, 
times at peace and battles fought.

Now, looking back 
throughout the years,
of joy outlasting dried up tears,
I recommend, 
despite all strife
and suffering, live a life. 

And when we breathe
the midnight air,
whether wind be foul or fair,
shake a fist, 
(or if we dare), 
raise our palms up high in prayer.
