An unexpected day off means unexpected extra-poem time!
Between more mundane mandates, of course 😀
But writing poetry is far more than easy, breezy rhyme time!!
The poet’s task
Pours from a flask
That holds a large
Charter of Trust
Thus, if we drink
This sacred ink
We bear a charge
Most serious
For poetry
It seems to me
Is more than mere
Rhythm and rhyme
It is the ilk
Of malt and milk
Poured through the sphere
Of thought and time
…for beck and call
Of madrigal
is more than paint
With verbal laud
A poem is
A kind of kiss
To reacquaint
The heart with God

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do]
all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do,
do all to the glory of God.
Titus 2:7 -
Titus 2:7 -
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works:
in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
love this song and this version!
