Sand Dollar bears
Marks reflecting His wounds
Nature remembers

Passion Flower recalls
The agony of His death
Nature thus reflects

Who Writes The Most Poems Wins?

Quantity is quite easily achieved
Quality more scarce
Preferable as well

Dogwood bends with shame
Its wood chosen for His Cross
Will grow straight no more

zz Vapid Versus Viper

If “Vapid” thou call me
Then “Vapid” let me be
Better to be ‘Vapid’
Than a “Viper” like thee

It Matters Not to the Red Wheelbarrow

The red wheelbarrow doesn’t care
that it is rusty from rain

The chickens, however,
hate the taste
of the rust

So much
depends
on their eggs

God is Well

God is well and good
His love will never fail
He does just as He should
Until man attempts to prevail
Placing conditions upon Him
To suit their every little whim

No Defense

There is
no protection
now the wind
may hurry through bare
branch, no longer
deflected by futile defences
every leaf has defected
each one seeking refuge
somewhere

Leave Shoes Outside Please

build me a poem like a Japanese house
stark black words set against
crisp white paper wall

elaborate phrases eliminate
rhetorical excess dismiss
shoes left outside

clear minded
direct
pure
