Christmas Joy
Dr. James E. Martin
©December, 2012

	
	Was asked if Christmas was good,
	Particularly in my neighborhood.
	Responded that it was fine,
	A pocket full of bills is now mine,
	Maybe soon I’ll be singing as I should.

Silence Errs

Silence
Told everyone to keep quiet
Everyone never to talk
Where he was working
“Never talk here where I work”, he shouted
“No noise here. Break rules, I fire you”, he added
But every time he shouted
Echo responded
Unabated

Silhouettes of Me and You

the morn responded with its radiance in red,

tears  f a l l i n g  in echoes of brilliant blue-
  
you refuted, I concluded; broke my heart instead,

stardust  d e s c e n d i n g  in silhouettes of ME and YOU.

Premium Member THE FLOWER AND THE BUTTERFLY



Resting on the inviting flower for a while

The playful butterfly gave it a tender kiss

And it responded by offering its nectar 

That made her savor Nature's everlasting bliss!

Premium Member Hyperbolic Sports Reporting

A blinding fastball, more launched than thrown,
approached the corner of the strike zone.
A bat responded, just as fast.
The crowd was deafened by the ensuing blast.
On a mound, there lay dead
a man in uniform - a hole cut neatly through his head.

Simple Whistle

two sparrows out on a limb
cordial and looking just prim
they were looking down at me
as I sipped my evening tea.

I responded and whistled back 
shifting gears they stayed on track
seems they were amused by my call
to me it was nothing at all.

Like the Last

The fear passed
When you had told me.
I smiled,
Laughed,
Listened to music 
Over and over again.
And responded.
I said I liked you too.
I'm happy now,
And nothing can ruin that.
Nothing at all.
Because I know it won't be 
Like the last time.

Jelly Fish Love Story

Jelly Fish Love Story

Jelly Fish and Urchin, so very much in love.
Jelly Fish said to Urchin, please be my Turtle Dove.
I will, responded Urchin, I truly will be thine.
But upon their first embrace,
Jelly Fish did rupture,
and is now, just a pool of slime.

Mistakes Made

I know I make mistakes
Almost every other day
I ask God that I learn from them
From yesterday for today

And I believed if I had not learned
Then I would be held to blame
But I know the Lord responded,
"Child please just try again!"
