OLUPONNA; MY LAND AND TERRAIN
OLUPONNA: MY LAND AND TERRAIN.
Oh my mother land; wealthy in soil
To my grip held so highten; not soiled
So cultured and nurtured in legendary
To a land whose worth is never lost in form
Will I soon be so held up in apostasy ?
To forget thine beautiful terrains and slopes
The contour rich in overview than none has
Welcome

Ablazed Terrain Spaced-Dedicated To God Is Speaking Ministries Janeen Brown 3
Lost places
Are filled with dread
Most houses build on top of land
Undecided undeniable fixated sensation
Compromise all I see in the rain is dread
The Elohim terrain space is ablaze red

Unknown Terrain
Brined voids surround my already bounded vision, throwing me headlong into confusion and disarray.
Hesitation in what may be the next correct course is what has landed me, and with much despair, in this current crisis of identity.
It is also what keeps me still.
This sea of doubt, once touched by the poet Alighieri,

Things You Do Not Start
There are things you don’t start.
Would you just break a heart
Like some daughter now tart,
Earlier being trained: for Art?
You might too, break a leg,
While there’s no means to beg:
In bad terrain, bad cart
Now this way that way dart…
There are things you can’t start:
Much like torching a mart,
Not unlike a stark bloodbath,
Minds can

Caterpillar
Till tomorrow The Spectacular
Not a thing about it jocular;
Does keep wasting Nature's Wondrous gift
While rugged terrains giving new lift...
Steely replica of Dynamite:
It has been the same show of might;
The weakest of them all still iron
And that's the reason it is Lion...
Caterpillar at work vibration
But it's a prelude to foundation;
A couple of Day's Disturbing Earthquake
For tomorrow's

Terrain
In the dance between
the moon and grass,
There I stood indifferent
to the tears in my cheeks.
Once again I fall back
To the terrain
I hadn’t seen in a while
It welcomes me sweetly
While I desperately try to get away
Suffocating my sleep
Sabotaging my breath
Blurring my gaze
Slowly
Becoming home again

Map Not the Terrain
Map not the terrain, walk the talk
Moment by moment thus
Discern ego cravings that stalk
Choosing truth without fuss
All enabled in silence
Aligned with innocence
Each touch blissful vibrance
Theory in vain
Map not the terrain

Terrain Valley Quams-
Missed floracious valley quams;
Thunder rolls across the plains;
Rolling hills valleys arms;
Distant grasses shrubs grow wild and high plains;
Praising reaching the heavens skies;
Glorious bounties floral gardens dry;
Browning from the Sun blazing boiling dawns;
Midsummer air frightening ablazing battle bear all now rain falls;
Those the woodlands grassland fires rage ;
Where are the common calming cool waters

Adventure In Terrain of Kindness
Kindness is a gift we get from heaven
Reaches us through humans
Or through things around us
Created by souls on earth with God’s grace.
While on a study adventure
One such act of kindness
Touched the deep niche of my heart
When around Lyderhorn, a sleepy village
Lodged on the banks of Norwegian

Complain About Campaign and Terrain and More
Always could complain
About those running campaign
Wanting more champagne
From a tough terrain
When they would have much to gain
cannot stand the pain
From doing abstain

and did it in vane

Transient Troubadour Traverses Terrestrial Terrain
'Course as a grim teller of tall tales,
(albeit poetic) reasonable rhyming
quasi roundelay I readily admitted to feign

pride and prejudice plus
sense and sensibility, jocularity,
and conformity I dissed deign

Terrain
See them coming down the street
Dancing with a passion that is very deep
Hands waving in the air
People cheering far and near
Voices shouting out of control
And the music is playing very loud
Chatter and laughter, cussing and swearing
Everything is wrapped up in the mix
Bang, bang, bang, the sound from
Domino hitting the table circulates through the
