fresh spring flows clean, heart deep, swift
He makes all things new

Our local library is hosting a book spine poem contest for National Library Week…
Doc,
it was me all along,
ready to fall
into the nevernight;
the cry of the dove
waking the dead,
honest pretzels!

if dust were diamonds,
asphalt was gold, and
trees’ leaves paper money,
we’d sneeze on greed
drive over wealth, con~
sider banks quite funny!
fantastical, our discontent would blow away with wind~

a sacred covenant

It is said that good communication is necessary to build any successful relationship. Communication and commitment certainly form the vital framework for a healthy marriage. But effective communication goes beyond speaking and listening. It is possible to say too much; to spew destructive words that tear a home down. It may be possible to hear too much; to assume the worst intentions of one’s partner. Is this not why the “two will become one flesh”? Sex is the super-glue that bonds partners, holds a marriage together. This sacred act is designed to reconcile and unite spouses in expressing tender love, forgiveness, acceptance when words fail. If fruitful, a couple may also be rewarded by the pleasure of children!
speak intimately
don’t let words get in the way
love’s body language

in free verse, question poem Tags: follow, Jesus, question, want
Jesus, the
Questioner,
when followed,
turned around
and asked,
dark eyes
so focused,
“What do
you want?”
Earnestly,
he asks us
too, what
is it you
really,
truly,
want?
Is it
Me?

Having fun with a new poetic form, sevenling, introduced by De at dVerse!
rainbow recipe begins with basic
ingredients of primary colors:
real red, mellow yellow, too blue.
measure equal parts; blend with
fresh rainwater until secondary hues
appear: ore orange, preen green, riot violet.
Oh, may i please borrow a smidgeon of simple indigo?
This one for cousin Ben, jewelry designer at Simple Indigo 🙂

in poem for children, rhyming verse Tags: faster, night, track, train
A poem to read aloud to a child 🙂 Kudos to my son who is a train engineer! (Linking to dVerse Poetics prompt “Wheels of Steel” with Bjorn)
jumping on
going, gone
faster, faster
pacing a train
racing in vain
faster, faster
wheels turning
diesel burning
faster, faster
graffitied cars
glowing stars
faster, faster
vision at night
one-eyed light
faster, faster
hugging its track
never look back
faster, faster, clickety-clack!
