The Battle Begins

The battle begins with an assault on the hill
Our men respond knowing my will
The white warriors continue their drill as before
My men are confident to the core

I order attack on the right white flank
The whites maintain their tightened rank
Generals continue to deploy the men
Since the White attack, this general must defend

My right bank archers saw the chance
Neutralized the left bank Archers in confidence 
The trench warriors were stopped in their tracks
This stalemate will eventually end on the flanks

The White General moved to his right
Surrounded by warriors ready to fight
A squad of tanks guarded his side
The Master General needed to hide

My main power entered the fray
The enemy King cornered in the bay
The battle continued action to action
General to General, Grant and Jackson

Both sides fought to the end
The White warriors had to defend
I saw the opportunity to be great
My final maneuver delivered Checkmate!

Overused Words By Poets

Overused WORDS by Poets

Poets use certain words a TRITE too much
Roses are red and LUMINOUS and such

Mountains are BREATHTAKING
Oceans are EXHILARATING

ENGAGING conversation is what I enjoy
Creating the MIRACULOUS I also employ

PROFOUND was a Clinton word
With LEGENDARY status he is still heard

Yet, with URGENCY, I complete this poem
So, Violets are blue in Rome

I Give Thanks

I give thanks 
for a Dementia patient growing more loving in latter years, my mother 
for a Dad who has diabetes, high-blood pressure, overweight, and 
should have been in the grave 20 years earlier like father and brother

I give thanks
for a wife with lymphoma who has shown her faith and love of God
for a son who traveled the world and used nursing skills for others
for a daughter with challenges growing up, after college had four job offers

I give thanks
For churches that I have attended that have helped mature me
For good jobs to help take care of my family and those in need
For a great education from a Community College and University

For iron sharpening friends and mentors in to my life they gave
For my Lord Jesus Christ who first loved and got me saved
I give thanks

Back Yard Oasis

Plants, Trees, Hills, and Grass

White shed black trim corner back

School and Park with kids

Path near fence where two dogs track

Green, Brown, Orange, Yellow, Red, Black

 

Five Pines fifty years

Rock garden and sidewalk near

Lilac Bushes two

Squirrels, Chipmunks, Birds fly through

Expanse of sky white and blue

 

Back yard oasis singing

Leaves like bells ringing

Barbeque Charcoals on fire 

Burgers, Brats, cooked to desire

Guth Is a God

In Ancient days names had definition
The Carpenters were of course Carpenters
Some names brought recognition

Jesus had many names, I know them well
Some called him the Son of God
But his mother used Emmanuel

Joseph Guth, My Father’s name
Not just German for Good, which was my claim

The Irish, the Germans use a word
Guth is for god, rather absurd

A royal noble name
I walk with each day
Just like you
Feet of clay

A god I am
What does that mean
I am not divine
And certainly not lean

Neanderthal Poet

Cave man writes poems
Six foot six under three hundred
Bearded and balding
No training high school English
I’m having fun none-the-less

Rustic Moon

Gaia colors rustic image 
Artemas' canvas celebrates
Awed through universal coverage
Thrilled voices reverberate

Abc Poem From Joseph

ABC Poem from Joseph

A beautiful coconut drenches everything fragrantly. Growing happily in joviality, Kings laugh mightily. Notably ornamented perfect Queens restore sweet times under virulent walls. Xenias years zapped.

What If It's True

What if it’s true about this thing some call creation? There must be a creator to have a creation. 
What if it’s true that man started in a garden? A creator wanted a friend not someone to pardon.
What if it’s true that man committed cosmic treason? Hind sight shows joining Satan didn’t stand to reason. 

The serpentine being promised, “You will be like God." 
How’s that working for you, being your own god? 

What if it’s true that the creator has 10 simple rules? They could not be that hard for thinking fools.

Or could they? Here are just six.

What if it’s true that one God is for you? 
What if it’s true that we are to worship a Jew?
What if it’s true?

What if it’s true that we should take a day and rest?
What if it’s true that honoring your parents is best?
What if it’s true?

What if it’s true that you should not do the deed with another’s spouse?
What if it’s true that you should not steal or covet someone’s house?
What if it’s true?

The creator became a man and lived a righteous life.
To the cross the innocent went where he suffered and died
He rose again to complete his task
And again I say, What if it’s true?

What if it’s true that he paid it all?
What if it’s true that I am free from Adam’s fall
He took the Father’s punishment each of us deserves
He gave me his righteousness without reserve

All it takes is faith in the Son. 
The heart goes through changes.
Then you could be one.

What if it’s true?
