Sponsoring Poems | Examples

Saved

Some folks wallow in power, yet seem cold
Some souls have softened callous hearts.
Somewhere, a mother and her baby lay dying
Mud, sweat, tears, and blood, baked.
Somewhere a father has sacrificed his life
Jungle, swamp, dessert, he's no faint of heart.
Sometimes he goes shirtless
Cloaks the very ones he loves.
Sometimes he's saddled with several lives
His wife and he lift eyes to heaven skies.
Somehow, they reach the clearing, but lo!
The path bends like road to eternity.
Somehow, his earthly savings keep dwindling
But the starry night streams new hope.
Some days they stumble to valleys low, yet rise
Some days the warmth of sun seem most forgiving.
Someone in quiet confines, whispers a prayer for souls unknown
Someone is sponsoring an addict. Some folks sponsor migrants.
Suddenly, all good things work together for souls saved
Suddenly, sea of clarity shows horizon, where solace beckons.

Quagmire

I walked the shape of a square
Inside of a circle.
I brought shrimp to a lobster fest.
This morning I woke up
With someone else's nose.
My niece is stuck in an elevator
With no  shoes or sox.
The leaves need to be raked.
No one can find the rake.
My brother loves to talk on the phone
But he has strep throat.
I can't pick up the roll of paper towels,
I'm holding this baby.
I'm driving home
And there's not even ginger ale.

I can see the words but can't read them.
I can hear the sounds but can't put meaning to them.
I can feel the feelings but not know how to process them.
My toaster of a heart can't tell when the toast is burnt.
A roaring beach campfire 
Waiting for reflective faces
That never show up.
The body as the asylum.
Choices that further enchain us.
You, please, you entertain us.
You will entertain us.
I will entertain us.

Where Are You Going

He flagged me down
for a lift.
Those were the days when it felt safe
to pick up a hitch hiker.
Soon my eyes were watering
from the stench of urine.
“Where are you trying to get to?”
“Where are you going?”
I was on my way to see the Bishop
sponsoring me for ordination.
Should I take him there?
I pondered.
I dropped him near the city centre.

As with a message from an angel,
“Where are you going?”
has stayed with me
as a disciple of Jesus.

Presentation Is Everything

Some say presentation is everything and more
That’s certainly important if selling is your game
I learned that while managing a piano store.

Sponsoring concerts with musicians of fame,
Selling the idea that a buyer can learn how to play
That’s certainly important if selling is your game.

We demonstrated easy piano tunes every day
Teaching buyers simple tunes anyone can learn
Selling the idea that a buyer can learn how to play.

And it is true, anyone can memorize a pattern,
Playing an uncomplicated melody with satisfaction
Teaching buyers simple tunes anyone can learn.

To say anyone can play well merits a retraction
For only the truly gifted can learn to play well
Playing an uncomplicated melody with satisfaction.

Playing a few simple ditties is certainly swell
Some say presentation is everything and more
For only the truly gifted can learn to play well
I learned that while managing a piano store.

Don'T

Don't let them see us
tremble! – it is what
they want.  Don't let
them drink our tears of
sorrow...it will prompt
them to create more  
heartbreak tomorrow. let 
them hear, loud and clear,
of our definitive resolve – 
we will not be divided
and scattered – these
Marxist, racist scum,
will also pay, here on earth,
long before they reach the
fires of hell....

(Lunatics With Power)

Soros, and his sponsoring
of Marxist, soulless DA's and Judges – 
The squad, Pelosi's Luciferic Compatibles – 
Time to Exorcise such swine, from their
sties of luxury, and into the pens of 
our America Justice system, the very
same pens, they have manically emptied,
spilling criminal content back onto 
the streets of our society, to
victimize our Nation's innocence  – 

Vote them out!
And then, Prosecute!

In Sponsoring a Contest

In sponsoring a contest, one should know
the basics of the poetry that he
is judging! If the form has got a flow
such as iambic, that’s what we should see!
Of course, there’s more to poetry than that.
Free verse we know is different from rhyme!
One ought to judge the forms that he’s good AT,
and with each entry that he gets, take time
to analyze those elements which should
be mentioned as what he is looking for
so entrants know what he considers “good:”
the message? Imagery? Succinctness? More?
If judging, I’d be clear with rules, and I’d
be nice to poets I could tell had tried!

Here's An Idea

To all those with wealth out there,
Who are considering which charity is the best fit this year,
Here is an idea,
Could sponsoring a job be fairer.

Just think how much more your money could achieve there,
And how much better looking the economy would appear,
With less children in care,
And less people living in fear
With few idle hands in the neighbourhood to at your door stare.

Gambling too might in decline appear,
Alcohol producing less harm everywhere,
And opportunities to commit fraud no longer an easy affair,
With more people to oversee what they do there.

It is just a thought I thought you might like to hear,
That much fruit could bear,
If you could see your way clear,
To think outside the square.

Hypocrites and Charlatans

My soul can hear a child cry; 
its tears tethered to the whims of the times.
Children shackled to poverty and death
without a future and bereft of love;
struggle to survive in a world of plenty
due to corruption and corporate greed.
We choose to ignore their plight;
yet call ourselves God-fearing Christians.
We pretend to care if they live or die,
sponsoring phony profitable charities.
but the fact is, we feel little for them;
they are propaganda fillers for the news.
We go to church, drop to our knees, and pray
to God to forgive our sins.
We believe we've found a loophole in
God's unconditional love;
He cannot fault us for using our free will.
But God commanded, "Love each other,"
that choice was never left to us.
Humans are hypocrites and charlatans;
we claim to be compassionate beings;
yet we condemn children to starve to death
without feeling any remorse or guilt.
We view their world as make-believe,
convincing ourselves such suffering can't be real.

Bad Santa, Bad Santa

Santa Claus took from the NON-for Profit 
" people who wish to marry fund"
to support his gift giving campgain.
Santa who doesn't eat Venision
heard that the "rights of Modern Men"
were sponsoring a Four Meat supper
to raise money for  the
" People who wish to marry fund"
he asked one question, " are they serving Venision?"
the fella said yeah, and taters and yams, and those
sweet, sweet taters. " Oh yeah said Santa,
them po' (Bleeps) gonna learn. "Bife for the We-if"
"not sear the deer". "Things their mothers have done, don't they
know better" " "They have a treasurer who drinks don't they"
"the fella said they sure do boss!" "they sure do!" Santa told him
that summa (beep) is gonna look foolish when
he finds the gift I'm leaving him"
then he got on his sleigh and flow away.
when he returned,(two days later)
he just smiled and said "Christmas is saved!"
and everyone went back to work cheering for Ole Santa!
When asked, "what did you leave the fella for Christmas?"
He told him, " I left the (beep) absolutely nothing"
"I farted in his face when I walked by him sleeping"

Trival Interests

Be careful not to lose the letter
attached to the top.
I finished mending the pants
she said, I hope you like them
them, I didn't know that Blue denim
Vest and pants where so heavy, they'll look
nice with those snakeskin shoes you
got for Christmas.
I hope she'll go with you,
I mean if you ask her to the dance
I hope she except, the Lady's at the
church spoke of a Man from somewhere
in Peru, coming to speak at the church, if she'll go 
dancing with you maybe she'll come to hear him
speak.
I think the subject is on some new findings in a Jungle 
research, they dug-up an ancient city and found the ruins
of Pragenti Solti" the gift giver of the Incan Indians.
the translated the scroll of the ancients, and the ladies
in the Dram Augsillany are sponsoring the ordeal.
If she say's yes then maybe just maybe  you can use the 
barn to have a party.

Redemption - the Game

Ever played our favorite game?
Not monopoly or oligopoly
You know, the other one
So what, they all end the same

The one with all the money
Always wins the game
My game is redemption
That's not how you play it

First you count how many souls
You saved along the way
You count up all your blessing cards
You save them to the end

You add up your donations
All gratuities and sponsoring
All pledges big or small
All helping hero biscuits

You count up your kids
And count up all theirs
You count up any other life
You helped in any way

So guess who wins the game
Guess who goes to heaven
You might be the one
Try to spin a seven
