Crimson trims the trees
Sky is fleetingly adorned
Crunch through Autumn drifts

re-post inspired by Ricks theme

The
rainstorm
overnight
burst the shallow
dyke-
the
raging
river in
overflowing
flood
streamed
forth long
weeds plaited 
now beneath the
spate....

Methinks writing lim'ricks beneath me...
E'er they're like grinding one's teeth be...
They set one to cringing,
To moaning and whinging,
So instead this five-liner I bequeath thee....

Ricky was the first to sell piles of wood
He named them ricks, (stuck on himself somewhat) 
Also as many whole limbs as he could
Limbs were cheaper, not needing to be cut

A new poem type, a fellow would make
But found naming it, his most daunting task
By chance passed Ricky on a stroll he'd take
And "Limb or rick?", he would hear Ricky ask!...

inspired by Ricks contest theme

Winter melts and seeps deep below,
permeates cathedrals with snow,then
in spate,nature's blood in flood .
A babbling burn in feathered ferns
to riverine unseen,a stream of 
freshwater clean.
In rivers soil silts against sloping banks
the current slows into eddys,
where fat chubb doze,
deep waters flow ,below...

Acrostic on NIGHTMARE


N-ightmare hugs my brain
I-nk of dream kisses my pain
G-rasps me it fully with the bundle of bone,
H-urts me amid my sweet dreamy plot,
T-ricks and traps me to walk on showing path,
M-erely I follow a cheated dreamy birth
A-im is destined to beat my sanity
R-ightly I find myself in insanity
E-rase O’dear all my path of tears...

I-t's a perilous world, 
R-ugged wind makes one fret; 
I-n the road of danger, 
S-tart wearing your
H-elmet.

O-n Wednesday March fifteenth, 
T-ricks of the enemies abound; 
A-llow not your faith to fade, 
B-ecause the Savior is around.
L-et the whole armor of God be taken up with conviction; 
E-ven if the path is well-paved, wear the helmet of salvation....

I
I travel alone, sometimes with Wendolene
But shorter trips done alone if I feel bored
I talk to weeds. Some bear brilliant buds, beings

II
Little rocks jump up and converse, too -
Take me home, paint a cross, for children
Call it your little rock ministry

III
Across the miles, weeds & rocks console me
They nurture what's hurt, need another touch
Not always human, but more sensitive?...

I AM SHE..
QUEEN OF THE NILE.
FOR 9000 MILES,
I STILL WALK THE EARTH.
GIVING BIRTH,
WITH MYSTERIES.
OF REMEMBERING ME..
270 DEGREES,
MY PYRAMID STANDS,
TALLER THAN TREES.
PLUSHED IN GOLD.
AN STORIES, TOLD.
BUT NEVER UNFOLD.
I TRAVEL THE EARTH,
IN THE AFTER BIRTH,
GIVNG YOU LIFE,
STILL CUTTING LIKE A KNIFE.
I AM SHE...
THROUGH SUN AN CLOUDS.
RAIN AN SMILES.
STILL WALKING THE EARTH.
I'M, QUEEN OF THE NILE.....

L-et God enlighten your mind, 
E-very single day and night; 
T-ricks and lies of the devil, you must courageously fight.

M-ake God enlighten your mind, 
A-llowing Him to let you know; 
R-emain in the true fold, 
C-lear message starts to flow.
E-ternal God enlightens your mind, 
L-etting you understand; 
L-ove, faith, and hope remain, 
A-s you obey His command.
N-ot for a moment you go astray, let the doubts be left behind; 
A-nytime on May seventeenth, let God enlighten your mind....
