Poetry Tuesday – The Jagged Rocks Below
Looking down over the edge And into the canyon below, Life looks different now. It is a beautiful day. The sky is pure sky, And the sun is shining high. The birds sing sweetly In the rustling trees, But that is all above her As her eyes see The jagged rocks below. Looking down…

Poetry Tuesday – I Am… #poem #poetry #tuesday #writing
I am alone. There you see me Surrounded by a million people, But I am alone. I am sad. There you see me Smiling and telling jokes, But I am sad. I am angry. There you see me Calmly telling everyone it’s okay, But I am angry. I am confused. There you…

Poetry Tuesday – The Rhyme Has Died
Do not be fooled by silence. She’s screaming inside. This searing pain is her vice. Behind pleasure it does reside. She sits on a broken fence, A smiling mask to hide, Show the world the nice, But in comes the tears’ tide. Wash, bury, then from whence Remains, bleached bones outside. Roll the lucky dice.…

Journey Through Lent/Poetry Tuesday – Sought and Found
In a world that seeks truth Amidst millions of lies, Where most so-called values uncouth And anything loosely flies, From where do we gather In hopes to find What is right, rather Than the easy way to bind All virtuous, righteous, and good Acts of pure selflessness From our own brotherhood? But rather crude and…

Remember why He died for us So many years ago, How the mighty Lord proclaimed His glory pure and white as snow. We sometimes find it hard to understand How hard the heart does cry When we do not feel sure About why He had to die. Jesus Christ passed hung from a cross To…
