I heard you sob
today
Don’t cry Rashda
don’t 
Tomorrow’s sun
brings a new day
Today’s sorrow
will wither away
The new birth
is yours alone
Then peace & love
shall live & reign 
In your smile
Forever

For Ma'am Nette Onclaud's Rolling With The Rs Poetry Contest

4 August 2025




Ripples,
like scattered gold,
seize the flickering rays,
as curves and bends dance through valleys.
Mild water threads through rocks,
soft echo of
ripples....

Clad in flowing purple
Like a full-bodied
Cabernet Sauvignon
She vanishes into the 
Shadows of the night
While I stand alone, 
Dreamily savouring 
The lingering aftertaste
Of her aromatic kiss.

Suitable applicant
Is responsible and behaves
Check marks to bookworms over butterflies
No drama, visitors, or noise

*****

Room rent
is beyond me,
trees do not grow money
it is said, sadly Leprechaun's
will not share their gold with us common folk
and the pirate's are not talking,
but I found their treasure 
map; trade for just
room rent.

River,

undulating,

cascading through rainbow,

pavonine, prismatic, shimmer,

like a serpent slithering down the hill.

She hums a song of the mountains,

that echoes in vale as,

rhythm of flowing

river.

Stray mind

glides on stalled time.

Wave surfer on rough life

grabs mute mementos of split moon,

floating on dim trough of dismal essence.

Memory invents alchemy,

remembrance rust turns gold

in Midas touched

stray mind.

Reading
Writing
Arrhythmic

Are taught at school
Through methods cruel
Disciplinary tool

But choose ye a new school

Dim the light's
Call and end to time
Of nursery rhymes
Reading times

If you can tear your attention 
Away from the television screen 

Ages 5 till 16
What you have just seen

Is in no way real
Does that any way diminish
Its appeal???????????????...

Within the soul of my experience
Unconscious seeds of tomorrow's joy,
Awaiting the warmth of encouragement
Lay dormant,seeking inspiration's light;
Words,verbs,adjectives,aimless,without form,
Times,past,times present,amalgams of verse
Unshaped,until imagination's birth,
Bursts from the spring of my maturity.

Inspired by the words of RS Thomas'Poetry for Supper' see my blog today...

It went in flames
It was already burning before it began
We were not ready
We were not prepared
For this onslaught of emotion
I wish I could say more
I wish I could offer you more
Than just these stupid poems

I think my brain malfunctioned
I think someone I used to know hurt it
I don't comprehend, remember, recall
Reason, remind, repeat
Revert, repent, rage
Rewrite, again
Over
Over
Over
Over
Rejoice...

AMEN


A waiting Jubilantly eternal rest and undisturbed peace in heaven,

M ay we live so now, with renewed joy and hope, even

E uphoric amidst troubles temporary, exalting the name of God,

N ever fearing loss, for we are victors in Christ, our Lord.

Heartbeat,
loud in my chest,
sings with sweet melody,
like the cadence of a streamlet,
when its silver ribbons drape the mountains,
with a smile that delights the sands,
as it cascades the slopes
and thunders—like
heartbeat....
