Short Watchmen Poems

pitter-patter
tiny booted feet
scramble
out of sight

the shadow watchmen
from nooks and crannies
are watching you 
tonight

every tear,
every shout,
every smile
so feather-light

tender brains are
shaped by your
love, your joy,
your plight...

knowing who wore warm
kilts where
was why knots were
wound wardrobes
knitted warmest when waistcoat
kind was
woven wool keeping watchmen
warriors waiting
kindly while watching washroom
kings wither while wine
knocked wisdoms went waste

The pedagogue, perched perilously atop his platform
Spouts slithering slander about a certain storm.
Rousing the rebels with rhetorical roars;

the Lord's day is close at hand.
Guard your heart and mind from malice,
become a mighty warrior, make your stand.
O America the beautiful,
cornerstone strong.
A HOUSE made of straw,
will soon implode and fall....

how hard is it for the eyes to see,
past mans logic, past his own reasoning,
for a purpose that goes beyond himself,
that changes the way he sees himself,
rest assured, God sees through,
behind all we say, and what we do,
even when we don't have a clue,
the heart of his love continually moves,
watchmen stand guard night and day,
in intervals to watch and pray,
he guards our hearts, waking up to his call,
his love speaks through these walls,...

wasting well water wishes
while in wastewater wading
waiting waist-high wailing
weeping, wailing—
what a waste!

wasting well water wishes
while we're waxing waning
waning waxing waging
waging, wasting—
wherewithal!

wanting well water wishes
while whole world wishing
wasting wishing wanting
wanting wishing—
whole wide world!

welcome well water wishes
while we're wakeful watching
wakeful watchmen warning
warning watching—
wonderful!

whew!!
