The hurting verdure
Has swamped my mind completely
With lingering past
Do not know how to endure
Haunting union in meadows....

Lately I feel like Igor with a hump,
swamped with work a continuous pump,
running everywhere,
yes master I care,
Frankenstein warehouse giving me goose bumps.

This old sea-rig is swamped and don't float
I TOLD you we'd need a bigger boat!
Now you are HIS prize
Sure ain't no surprise
That you're fish-food, you hard-headed goat!

Very Rude Haiku
Winter? 3 lines?....Right! ....
5-7-5 cadence, meter
I don't think so!...Blah!
-or-
Table by brook swamped
Consume fish, tail, heads, water
No soup for you!...Tip!

Of all an up-cheered rippling
The one constant
Watercourse. Thus vowed, strays not.
Nor turns stagnant.
Soothed of which thought, instinctual
Reversed cant be
Whilst swamped, this lil' craft of being
By life's rough sea!

TRUE MEANING
Easter’s a time of faith at least for some
But others may just take it as a holiday
Its significance today is at risk of fading
Swamped with fancy gifts and parading
The word holiday is actually a holy day
The One having risen, again will come

amazement
appears
to outlive
the commonplace
to exhaust
in the pre-shock
of existence:
yes,a forfeit
to float
unchanged,
discreet
&
sincere
if
distilled
becomes
a needless
scarcity
'til
swamped again
by
excess

Verse
Jesus will lead you into a storm
Do not be surprised
Not matter how big your boat is
You will be swamped
Be not afraid
Is different from
There is nothing to be afraid of
Many things are frightening
But be not afraid
For don't be asking how big your boat is
Be asking who's with you

To eat when hungry and sleep when sleepy,
at first sight sounds simple enough to do
but when swamped by thoughts, fearful and creepy,
we’re bemused by puzzles we need to sew,
so know not that peace graced on but a few.
Oh, to be a child again, free from strain,
frolicking carefree in the monsoon rain!

Speaking Your Mind
Every time you
don’t speak your
mind these things happen:
snails do
aerobics, flamingos update their
details on
important apps, palm trees spill
out Amish hats, combs beg to
eat
lemon pie, stools memorise
flame thrower literature, and
gravy animals, who live in
the clouds, help out
swamped midwives.

swamped by illusions
immersed in delusion
a strange darkness
thoughts in confusion
‘tis the magical way
living light is caged
its pride demolished
by cravings upstaged
demi-gods powerful
choosing paths unjust
on falling from grace
turn thus to dust
a mere wisp of straw
can turn the tables
love alone is real
moral of all fables

- Echo ~ the witness who talked too much - quote by poet
a mournful echo
sounds swamped my pulsating heart -
do not repeat them
empty room - masonry wall
historic bells from gray peaks

On the edge with a few pegs down the gut
Hideous images to see in mirrors
Must you shock others to this reality?
There is no scrimmage between our talents.
I was looking for my whiskers to twitch
Powder the facial turf to gloss the lips
Darkness swamped my mind with timidity
For I murmured my thoughts to hear you roar.
Lord help me for today I saw a Lion
What if I see a Dinosaur tomorrow?

Thank you Lord for walking with me
Through the shadowed vales and valleys,
Holding when I blindly stumble
Until flagging spirit rallies.
When you take the larger burden
Relieving me of its great heft;
You ask only that I carry
The modest portion that is left
Now that I’ve survived the danger
And have now safely swum to shore,
I know big waves would have swamped me
Had you not lifted me once more.

Jesus fell asleep while they crossed the lake.
A gale nearly swamped them. “Master awake!
Water's filling the boat
and we can't stay afloat.”
Fearful of drowning they wouldn't escape.
He awoke to rebuke the furious storm,
restoring the calm the scene to transform.
“Where is your faith?” said he.
They from peril set free
were in awe at the wonder performed.
Luke 8.22-25

Limerick
Hers was the wishing well of magic and moonlit revelry
Joined within a mastery of domesticated wizardry
They say she was a powerful soul
His royal handsomeness mounted the vehicle of glory bellowing on thick hind legs
ready for war
Kingdoms confront years of anger, streets swamped with vigilantes as children hide.
Tears and blood mix amongst the common tax payers
"Warriors take aim"...... Jerusalem cried

I am eighteen months,
to the day,
younger than he.
We have two sisters,
both younger than we.
To lose our only brother
leaves three sisters
cast adrift in a head sea,
swamped in waves
breaking tight
against the course
of our ship, poised -
to grow old together,
reminiscing,
sharing,
laughing about the past.
But he longs to be free.
We are left with no choice,
but to step aside,
and allow him leave.

Marietta Georgia the beginning
and the end of poetry soup as we
knew it today we are swamped by ads
investors buying web domains inventing
shenanigans amidst their very own
motives creating fake accounts all
under the same foundations gathering poets
to allow poems to be featured in anthologies
now is the time for all great poets to come
to the aid of their country to write or
not to write that is the question

Do boughs feel pain when vicious winds rip gnarly bark?
Does tiny cry pierce clear sky when hawk talons a lark?
What visions do the dying see as they ready to depart?
Is it possible to heal muscle, after destruction of the heart?
How can a person, once loved almighty, destroy a friend?
I knew it true, as her words made my tattered soul rend.
Floods of sorrowed anguish swamped disoriented world.
Emotions floated free---like dust from a flag unfurled.

Yellow pollen drifts converge,
adorn nude logs in gros point lace;
red veined, orange campfire strings glaze
blue-gray above my lover's face.
I succumb to reflected eyes,
greening hazel like wise old frogs,
feel black water breast swiftly swell
against a quickening white fog.
Swamped, rose-gold tinged moments,
rocking red boat danger portends;
I glimpse distorted, fear-gray image . . .
his eyes foolish and young again.

Paratroopers stealthily slide unnoticed,
chutes deployed, small blazes of white obscured by
fog that lingers lazily, til their numbers
cover the meadow…
Faster, faster, not just content to cover,
reinforcements filling in, words unspoken,
synchronized with perfect precision, ever
picking up tempo…
Occupation utterly overwhelming,
swamped defenses, raising a flag, surrender.
Long, the arm of conquering winter, brings a
lengthening shadow…
