The cardinal saw the rose
puff in rosy self praise and pride
It chimed beating its own drums
exultant about its beauty
The cardinal retorted
Hey, don't blush in vain
just hush and shush with that vanity
for I'm just as ruddy red.
Besides I can fly
with my head held high
The rose never nodded
The cardinal waited for no reply.

Acrostic
From boat's mass thrown up
Wings fondling light and wonder
The fish shudders awe
I caught in splendour
Net my eyes in white of wings
And sea frightened thawed
So water rippled
The sea in sunshine trembling
Against departure
They turned, flashed in dive
The sun made coronet bright
On feathers waving
True there was a cry
In self praise for pain un-groaned
Just for Leda's sake.

Why Things Happen
By: Miracle Man
7/7/2023
Hindsight,
has always been 20/20
with little room for self praise.
It’s difficult looking forward
if I’m held captive by earlier days.
I’ve envisioned life,
as being one eye on today,
the other, on my time unspent.
Both good and bad things
are allowed to happen,
to both good and bad people
according to God’s intent.

Your success is your friend’s distress
Your friend’s distress gives you self-praise
Your enemy is the closest watcher
Your friend in the distant watcher
Your enemies conceal their rivalry
Your friends reveal their rivalry
Your friends compete with you
Your enemies deplete you
Your enemy wears a mask
Your friend masks your wear
Your enemy’s enemy is you friend
Your friend’s friend may be your enemy

Free verse
prisoner of retribution,
he was buried under a salt lake,
elusive, his crotch,
not far from stings of wasps,
the blood spills,
he would wonder how to catch the truth
in black river,
wrapped in imperforated causes,
leaking with curses,
black conjugation of greeds,
with the grief unbuckling the grudges,
uncut wounds, festering under the skin,
the stink starts scything, he starts
folding the denials, in self praise

Gifts from God packed with rich grace*
Good health, glad heart midst faith’s brace
Vain are they when love is nought...
Blest as shared, void of self praise.
*Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
