Hummingbird heart and wings
Snowstorm in early spring
Kite on the wind and string
Children’s choir as they sing
Lover wearing your ring
This and other splendid things
Laughing child on a swing
A lovely summer fling
It could be almost anything
If the right attitude we bring
A thing, a thing so beautiful that even the evil eyes consider it as a obsession.
Something so fragile that it can break a person into many pieces, a thing that one experience once in their lifetime, if done right it can make a cracked one healed and if it goes wrong it ruin every breathe of that person.
The thing so rare and sparse that not every being can discern. It comes to one least expected, it makes one a crazy prisoner locked in a jail full of devotion. One’s heart drums in their body to confess that in all strange maybe they dynamite love. I guess once again the have been enshrined
The Splendid Tulip
No other flower has been the cause of savor
There are 16th century tulips beds of every flavor
Oriental pigments suited for an exotic bouquet
Garden visitors buy tulips with pots made of clay
The sparkling tulip arranged in a basket
A layout of tulips found by a love one’s casket
A wish for variety of tulips never gets loss
Beautiful composition at the right cost
Red, yellow, white tulips of splendor
Tulips in the window not associated with gender
European vases for tulips with a long stalk
Splendid tulip scenery in the forest to take a long walk
MASTER ARTIST
What an artist uses to shape and smooth his sculpture
Is what God will use to mold and carve our character
The artist takes his time to design or pattern perfectly
So in the end a splendid replica we see
Man can never be his shining best unless
His Master's hands guide him to complete success
And since our bodies, minds and hearts are His
We can expect the very best there is
So let our Creator make you sound and right
For you are precious in His holy sight
The resulting replica is bound to be
A special prize that will last eternally

ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
To be clothed in a garment
Of the whitest white
Glowing in the darkness
Gleaming in the light
With this splendid dressing
My soul should ever be
Happy and content
For all eternity
For I know of its origin
And the Maker's love
I will always cherish it
As arriving from above
This gift I cannot equal
Nor return the same
For my Giver died a death
To cover all my shame
The only thing I can do
And this is just a start
Is bow in love before Him
And give Him all my heart

I know in my heart, that my world of loneliness ended
The moment your love made me feel so splendid.
Man loves friends
Babies have toys as friends
Children have peer groups as friends
Young men like making friends
Friends can become spouses
Entrepreneurs have ambitions and dreams
as friends
Stars are friends of the moon
The splendid glow is the friend of sunset
The shore is the friend of the sea
We are friends of our grandchildren
Pets are man's friends
Only genuineness and sincerity of heart
Showing a true love
Only sincerity and cordiality
Is a sign of friendship
Jesus has The Last Supper
While man yearns for the last wish
To be fulfilled in life time
In old age
Wow
He wants to travel round the world
What a splendid idea
A lot of money spend
Pouring out like running tap water
To see the different places under the same sky
To see the different people under the same roof
To read the different people of the same residence,the earth
Either still far away from hell or heaven
We live happily because Jesus has his Last Supper
We leave happily maybe after we have our last wish
Being granted too
We have our own wishes and desires to be fulfilled
Is hard to distinguish and choose one
For the last wish
As we're are not as saintly as Jesus
As we commemorated Him
For man's love is selfish and unique
Still full of sin
Beauty fills my eyes on this fine Spring day,
where nothing seems off kilter or amiss,
a breeze tickles tulips until they sway.
Butterflies emerge as though they're at play,
now set free from their metamorphosis.
Beauty fills my eyes on this fine Spring day.
Flowers bloom in an enchanting array.
Their fragrance gives me cause to reminisce
a breeze tickles tulips until they sway.
Bees sip nectar, when from a hive they stray.
With care, Mother Nature is not remiss.
Beauty fills my eyes on this fine Spring day.
Clouds are gray. A shower is on its way
to quench the thirst of blossoms with a kiss.
a breeze tickles tulips until they sway.
My sanctuary has a bright display,
I find peace in my backyard oasis.
Beauty fills my eyes on this fine Spring day.
a breeze tickles tulips until they sway.

So Jesus, then to Galilee, withdrew
When he heard cousin John had been betrayed.
Left Nazareth, where, as a boy, he grew.
Capernaum by the sea, the place he stayed.
The word of Naphtali and Zebulun,
Relayed by Isaiah so long ago,
By Jesus’ move, were thus fulfilled, were done.
Capernaum by the sea, a land of woe:
Once in the darkness, now in splendid light;
Once dwelt in shadow, now new light has dawned;
Once deathly region, He pushed back the night.
Capernaum by the sea, and lands beyond.
The Jesus preached, he issued the command:
“Repent, for heaven’s kingdom is at hand.”

(from Matthew 4)
Christmas splendid
Yet it’s not about giving gifts
Its bout Christ born and His later salvation gift
If we just believe in Him,
Soul spirit delightful perfect, wonderful
Cheerful, enjoyable festive, nice
The mercy grace of Jesus Christ

Contest : Bite Size Poem No 11
Sponsor : Line Gauthier
I think of a past lover,
One lost now in the machinery of time,
but that’s just a poet’s conceit,
she has built a castle
where she now rules dozen of white mice,
one of those twitchy loyal rodents
has my face.
Far better to see her
wandering in a maze of sweet sorrow
as she recalls our brief liaisons.
I can write a poem about that,
nothing with her not giving a damn about me
or a day after we parted
dismissing me from her thoughts forever.
No, I will rewrite the past and the future,
maybe get the exterminator to call
regarding the mouse problem.
Clutch my chest
to indicate a broken heart,
think of an ending that won’t leave folks
wondering just what kind of a looser I am.
Sultry scents saturate spring's splendid scene,
forsythia mists, flavored freshness careen.
Lover's lilac blooms boom youthful as green.
Lattice lace drapery veils Anne the Queen.
Hyacinth's honey sweetness sifts so serene.
Sky's cyan ceiling is swept and polished clean.
Wire fence winding ivy privacy screen
opens to garden secrets once unseen.
Expansive as a planted magic bean,
grandiose garden greenery grows to glean.

This day takes off, refreshingly
Drifting in umber humility
Mewling riotously, in cheer
While, reap colors squint near
Shockingly in shades of pink clear
Evening advances in bliss upon
From that point on
The night moon
Sparkles in splendid, yellow radiate
As dusk settles over sky precipitate
The metaphorical night fell upon us
She was loaded up with adoration fuss
Warm emotions gushed inside me
I spilled out my kind gestures free
On her excellence aplenty
She sparkled like the sun guarantee
A most moving entry
Of energy and intensity
To fill the part
Of affection in my heart
