Premium Member Miranda Priestly


Miranda Priestly
is powerful, rich, and beastly.
She looks down on those not wearing Prada.
Her people skills are nada.

Sunlight Drops

Sunlight drops on fields
of corn, and wheat- like embers.
Pumkins burst from vines.

Sunlight is swallowed
by a bird's wings, as it loops.
A tractor is a hulk.

Penny shaped leaves
crinkle in crisp winds. Summer
lilacs are priestly.

These Quiets

Priestly, abide in stillness.
Cloistered in dim hid
Woods, walled up gardens.
A reverence breathed! Of mind
Where the best ripens.

From their chastening effect
Who, for to think deep
Has kept far away
An appealing courtesy
Not so deemed this day!

The Faithful Priest

The many colored robes he wore
Gave priestly rank and set him apart;
His faded socks, best of his poor store,
They drew him to a repentant heart.

William Andleby

In his youth,
he was as Loyola,
a soldier, then he was converted
and became a priest.

He succored  and strengthen
the Catholic prisoners,
uplifting their faint bodies
with a new spirit of faith.

After 20 years’ labor,
he was arrested and condemned
for his priestly character,
for true faith

and led by his oppressors 
to martyrdom.
He was martyred
at York In 1597.

The Gilded Mirror


I hold my dreams inside my past
Where moonlight glows on rivers fast

And raging temples built in haste
Will dissipate, no longer chaste

O the anthems proud men froze
In gilded frames of priestly pose

Release my shackles! bound inside
My beating heart, where fears reside

At dawn the grassy pond will sing
In silent praise! My endless spring!

Premium Member Autumnal Resolutions


                             9/28/2023

     

Did you keep your all your last year’s grand resolutions? 

Or put on a priestly robe, and give yourself absolution?

NYE, the biggest hoax night, as if we will ever reach perfection?

Why not cherish everyday,as an awesome,achievable selection?

A message,on this beautiful day of autumnal and colorful introspection.

Best live each day fully,our lives works of art, in humble gratification!

Love Is a Pain In the Neck

Love is a pain in the neck

It was an odd week of lovelornness
he kept singing, “born to lose, and now I´m losing you.”
Perhaps it was an Elvis Priestly song.
He sighed a lot, but otherwise slept well.
He had been a victim of his ego.
The song in his head finally disappeared,
there were
So, many beautiful girls around that summer.
He sometimes sang the song “blanket on the ground.”
Willy Nelson´s?
Does a sweet song beget love or is it love that begets?
a sweet song?

Schemer

He came and addressed us
in a priestly cassock and hood
eyes decorated with sage’s spectacles
shoes were those of a stage performer
and carried big diary of chairman
he talked in metaphors and ironies
and conclude his speech artistically
in parables of Christ in Mark’s gospel
pointing out,” Join the party of Christ”
Few day later I met him in a bar
“Reverend Father, thank so much.
You inspired us greatly”, I said
The sage looked me searchingly
and took off faster than he came!

Trick Or Treat

The darkness of All Hallow's Eve
Ring out this night of soulful bells
In-between worlds of dark and light
Celtic, priestly, celebrations
Kindred spirits fear mournful ghosts

Old church cemetery, pitchfork straw
Ritual cakes of christened folks

Tended fires and saintly relics
Readiness for rural winter
English Russet apple bobbing
All souls gathered around the flames
Turnip lanterns with candle-wax
