palm-sundayJesus: Our Saviour AND Lord

Zechariah 9 verse 9

 

This poem looks at how a crowd of people who praised Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem could have turned on Him and shouted for His crucifixion just a week later.

“Hosanna” they cried “in the Highest:
Our rescuer, sent from on high!”
Those same people, just one week later
Were shouting out “CRUCIFY!” [click to continue…]

Aliens: Look Who’s Green!

 

The refrain of this rhyming, alien story poem is a great example of assonance.  the poem, as a whole is a story poem but the refrain is written in the style of a list poem.

 

Last night I saw a UFO descending from the sky.
It landed in my garden, but I’d no idea why.
The spaceship doors were opened wide, and to my great surprise
A stream of aliens came out before my very eyes. [click to continue…]

Gods_ABC

Christian Poetry

 

This is one of my Christian poems, which I wrote as an alphabet poem, with the challenge to use every letter of the alphabet in order as a key word in the way God asks us to behave.

 

A is for ALWAYS be honest and true
So people can B : BELIEVE in you.
C is for COURAGE to stand firm and fight,
D for DETERMINED to DO what is right.
E for EQUALITY: always aim
To treat the world EQUALLY; always the same,
Having the FAITH to seek God’s FACE
And live your life by GOD’S GOOD GRACE. [click to continue…]

Armenian genocide History Poems

Remembering the Armenian Genocide 1915

Please share this poem freely in support of Armenia’s ongoing struggle to receive a full acknowledgement from the world, and from Turkey, of the genocide of 1915.    Also, watch the video of the song released to commemorate the 101st anniversary of the genocide.

24th April 2016 marks the 101st anniversary of the crime, yet the survivors have continued unto death, dealing not only with the original genocide of their race, but with the ongoing denial of the crime itself.  They need peace. [click to continue…]

Oh teddy, you’re so brilliant.
I love you, you’re so fine.
You only have one eye left, but
I’m so glad that you’re mine.

Oh teddy, you’re so cuddly,
I love you, you’re so fine
Your stuffing is all coming out
But I’m still glad you’re mine.

Oh teddy, you’re so fluffy
I love you, you’re so fine.
Your tummy’s nearly threadbare but
That’s how I know you’re mine.

Oh teddy, you’re so soothing
I love you, you’re so fine.
I wish your lullabies still played….
But never mind; you’re mine!

Oh teddy you’re so unique
I love you, you’re so fine.
You know so many secrets and
Of course, they are all mine!

My teddy’s irreplaceable
I love him, he’s so fine
I bet you love your teddy too
As much as I love mine.
