Two liters of MOXIE is wild,
Not this happy since a long while…
Twelve can packs of DIET
Could barely stay quiet,
Bought the two twelve packs they had there tonight!
–
SHAWS in Whitinsville, Mass.
Is where I found this great cache…
A delicious way
To end the day,
Sure hope they have more in the back!!!!! ❤

(An opinion in a practical religious context)
–
Muslims Jews and Christians agree,
It goes against sanity…
For “LGBTQ’s”
Both bathrooms to use,
With total impunity!
–
Guys don’t mind looking at a girl
Think she’s a man–what a thrill…
But “girls” made like guys
A boy often lies,m
Ro get hormonal toe curls!
–
Men and women don’t mix,
Anatomically betwixt…
Security most times
On women’s minds,
Secure and private functions are blitzed!
–
We believe humans basically evil,
This POLITICAL oppression’s the devil…
Giving predators free rein
And those who complain
Are chastised for being “evil”.

GENESEE AND WYOMING bought,
PROVIDENCE AND WORCESTER stock…
At crossings I see
New grass frequently,
Where once I saw only rock!
–
Sadly I watch the downgrade,
Of physical plant improvements made…
It is a let down
Seeing grass newly grown,
Like this buyout wasn’t the best trade?-
–
Less-used spurs look like this too,
A shock for this railfan true-blue…
Grass along the ties–
Most think it small-sized,
But what else will they not do?
–
An opinion of the author–above image is an example of–not the real grassy track referred to–which is at the Hartford Street crossing in North Uxbridge, Massachusetts.
Practice in city driving
Thankful sufficient timing…
Route memory
Made it easy,
Without my wife’s reminding!

It’s not too early at all,
Better now than in the fall…
Scheme and plan
We know what ran,
For something new can we call?
–
The simple circle’s a hit,
With one spur decorated…
I want TWO TRAINS—
And changing terrain—
Do you think my work is legit.?

Praise to you, God Most High,
For hearing prayer on the fly…
And your delight
Being quiet in your Sight,
Bringing us into your Light.
–
You would talk with us,
Yet we put up the fuss…
Ne’er slowing down
Nor coming around,
In ways that are not just!
–
Walking with your children in gardens,
Seeing our eyes at Thee widen…
drying our tears
and calming our fears,
Joy at mutual abiding!
–
We don’t model for kids,
the closeness and joy you give…
But stay away–
Asking others pray–
Misunderstanding God’s writ.
–
Pray for me, said like Simon,*
The sorcerer on his own ladder climbing…
Unwilling to claim
Given to him in God’s name,
What Christ, without his help, did buy for him!

(From the author’s notebook. Written 4/14/16)
–
Depression seen as chronic,
Folks judge moronic…
Why choose
And refuse
To be catatonic?
–
Some have the crazy idea,
Behavior is willful and clear…
Always a choice
With inner voice,
Pointing the way to steer!
–
“Just stop that,” is a farce,
Who gave you the right to parse…?
Some things are not
As easily shot,
Without making it worse!
–
Why don’t you understand
Continuing to reprimand…
This creation fallen
Is appalling,
But the way things currently stand?
–
The chronic depressed are cast,
Into a bullring vast…
One says, “OLE”
All you need to say
Is begone, and the sickness is past”!
–
We’re often pushed aside,
Who will the “gutless” abide…?
But Christ’s embrace
Filled with grace
Can heal all that’s inside!

Fine figures and fashions
Ignite our human passions…
Clothes fitting right
A welcome sight,
On any social occasion!
–
Yet the human soul
Doesn’t need clothes to be whole…
If you think “nude”
Understanding is skewed,
Our coverings need not be droll!
–
Whom are you depending on?
On this side or the other of the “pond”…
The Lord Most High
Is “my guy”,
The Christ is the One.
–
Whom do you serve,
Bob Dylan observed…
That all flesh
With the Devil will mesh,
Unless God is served.
–
Focus on God through others,
Unbelievers are sisters and brothers…
All in God’s image made
Their sin price He paid,
Why their chances to know God we smother?
–
All men (humans) are like grass,*
how quickly a life will pass…
See Christ today–
Don’t walk away–
Who knows when one breathes their last?

*Isaiah 40: 5-8
The nature of who I am,
So sorry to post and scram…
Wife want eating
Three meals completing,
I’l come back here if I can!

This blogs my poetry,
Finding mine is the key…
SEARCH: “Caswell”–
Most are revealed,
Written heroically!
–
As to the prompt–almost any–
Subject inspiring–many…
Three or four styles
Bring you smiles,
A Christian blog not like any?

On the Railway named “PAN-AM”,
They conjured a curious plan…
An old loco
With it’s first logo,
Put it back in service and it RAN!
–
Mostly for local yard work,
Natives thimk it a perk…
Local history
Working patiently,
With the expected GP-7 or 9 quirks!
–
Spends time in between rail yards–
East Deerfield, Portland, onwards…
Railroader memories
Don’t grow up on trees,
And for a while they won’t break down from rust!
