Verily Poems - Poems about Verily

Verily Verified

Love lusts longingly
Hate hurts heartily
Marriage mars mercilessly
Wife whines woefully
Husband hustles habitually
Sex sells shamelessly
Politician preys persistently
Priest panders pompously
Religion ravages rationally
Cash corrupts completely
War wrecks wantonly,
Peace pacifies profusely.

Verily

Verily, verily
Violent truth has come
Vagabond of heaven
Visage of holiness
Veering the world off course
Vindicator of the
Vulnerable - that’s us

Child Verily Special

“Most Well-groomed!”
Such was his latest Sunday School Award
Dressing up as a preacher, lawyer, or flight steward
Overcoming the timidity of a nervous coward
Earning him admiration-glee as he moves onward.

At ten years old, he’s hygiene-fanatic
Delighting in every bathing spree with his mirth-filled antic
Missing his wardrobe favorites makes him frantic
Teeth brushing for him is never a task that’s

Verily

How I burn with sorrows and passions never dreamt
Occupied relentlessly with crying buds struggling to open
I hold your hand shaking, as if by letting you go, the darkness may return
And then the emptiness, the loathing, the longing, the burn
Yes, I burn with sorrows and passions always real
Clinging to you as my always do

It is time,

Verily I Say Unto You

Oh, I could tell you that all is fine that everything is just great
Just keep on sipping your wine and don't worry about your fate
I could flat pass over the subject as this would be easier for me
You too wish that this I'd select and in so doing just let you be

I could never say

Villanelle: Whose Voice Does the Non-Native English Poet Verily Hear

Villanelle: Whose voice does the non-native English poet verily hear

Whose voice does the non-native English poet verily hear
Words which sound to native English speakers as gibberish
Does received pronunciation yoke the borrowed voices’ ear

The poet hears a voice probably his own loud and clear
As he scribbles words English dictionaries list and cherish
Whose voice does the non-native

Villanelle: O What a Wonderful World This Sordid Life Could Verily Be

Villanelle: O! What a wonderful world this sordid life could be

O! What a wonderful world this sordid life could verily be
If only humans were not subject to envy nor jealousy
Worse than that pride of place makes man a chimpanzee

Our primate brother carries on his butt his Wounded Knee
We by contrast drape our tender unders in

Verily I State

VERILY I STATE…
     Celebrating enjoying life, I tolerate others’ leisure all the time.
I know people live for the sun to shine.
     I just ask that if I respect your rights, you respect mine.

Toleration is a broad word.
     I will narrow it down to

Verily Verily

our God is all sufficient
and we the penitent
in Jesus have all we need
if we,in Him,believe

Verily Father

surely you know his name

I sought out
the day
and when
I couldn't escape the blame
I never
died of shame
verily
a poisoned pill
I couldn't take.
