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?

AUTHOR’S NOTE: He’s not trying to grandstand—just admit to his guilt of certain motives and conduct and ask forgiveness of those he has wronged–whether or not they feel they were. It is a part of his Christian belief…being reconciled to God and the ones he has wronged asking forgiveness of both. There is a Bible basis to all this, which the author believes by faith to be the transcribed word of God to be followed and obeyed. Especially when he doesn’t! Questions/Comments are always welcome.

Writer of poetry,
The “fashion” got away from me…
Chasing skirts
Many women hurts,
Of this I am guilty!
–
Sought “readers” unsuccessfully,
The hidden motive–to see…
What interested
Where saints shouldn’t tread
And pester them endlessly!
–
The many unreturned visits,
Prove out how wrong is it…
I know my sin
Repenting therein,
Stop this practice is the solution exquisite!
–
I will stillreach out,
In subjects not ruled out…
Walk in the flesh
Heavily risks death,
Gotta pull some hot irons out!
–
The upshot–some I’ll follow–
The rest–if they visit tomorrow…
I’ll respond graciously
But not the pest–not me–
I’ve sinned–I repent in sorrow!
–
My actions toward those of whom I’ve spoken,
From now on–contact is broken…
This I must do
So they’ll feel safe too,
No need of me in their business poking.

The train ’round our tree survives,
It must own several lives…
train tracks glued down
won’t shift around,
But the trains do go flying–surprise!
–
Being careful my wife and I,
Have avoided seeing the train fly…
It at times left the rails
So far my steamer fails,
To run here–I don’t know why?
–
Helps that we have no kids,
Nor cats to sit amidst…
Not much room
Nor do our trains zoom,
But they’ve been known to do splits!

–Jonathan Caswell
Finding a nearly-sixty-year-old,
Fashion poet leaves some rather cold…
A shock to see
The elderly,
Actively trends they behold!
–
He sin’t always a saint,
But postive pictures he’ll paint…
Good exposure and pride
Knowing someone’s on their side,
Hoping his maleness isn’t a taint!
–
Again he must balance his views,
Determined to spread good news…
His challenge is to write
Poetic fashion insight,
Though alas, bias for certain styles–skews!
–
A fan of the button-up blouse,
It’s clean lines he’ll endorse…
Other styles
He compiles,
To show what they are, of course!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
It sounds controversial
For a Christian to appeal…
To believers of all other gods
To lend their aid and deal…
With the human suffering
Of two major hurricanes
Families of many faiths
Enduring loss and pain!
–
Even if you have no god,
Please think good thoughts to heal…
It’ll be a long time till many folks
Return to an even keel;
This is what my Dad might have done
In his liberal theology…
Reaching out to all concerned
With no apology!
–
I’ m thinking of a special friend,
A blogger fresh and true…
Known as Holly Hunter
And other Floridians, too;
Her “House of Heart” is quiet till
She survives the storm….
I repeat my concern
For her a colleagues’ love is warm!
–
To our knees, lotus positions, or however you access the divine—for the sake all storm victims!
It must take courage to pose,
In plain or fancy clothes…
The public eye
(including guys),
In essence the whole world she shows!
–
More for a purpose than money–
Some responses are rummy–
Courageous means
Fulfilling fond dreams,
Good reason to flatten that tummy!
–
Amateurs know whom they are,
Accepting themselves above par…
Not letting shape
Become like red tape,
But showing we all can star!

Little stone pagodas,
In some garden corners…
Garden protection
By spirit direction.
Not wanting any reformers!
–
For those who believe,
These little houses conceived…
To spirits open
Gardeners hoping,
Blessing s are on the way!
–
For Christians, this garden art,
Tempts those who escaped this part…
Of pagan belief
It is no relief,
Knowing spirits here park!
–
Some claim these are ornamental,
And we shouldn’t be judgmental…
If one has escaped
Being spirit chased,
Getting rid of these is fundamental!
–
When I see these—will they be removed?
No–each one chooses spirit truth…
We can pray
You’ll toss them away,
But it is your choice and your roof!

My friends have their own opinions and beliefs. Not everyone may be aware of what these cute stone pagodas represent, which I feel I should point out–then leave the deciding up to each person to decide for themselves!–Jonathan E.

An Opinion Poem
Image from the Friendly Fairy Tale Blog!
Not talking of bent underneath,
But forks whose existence ceased…
Unexplainable
Evidence unobtainable,
The hair on this head duly creased!
–
Unexplained portals in time,
Is this what happened to mine?
Does a quantum mechanic
Have something for panic,
Because of something stealing him blind?
–
If he washes dishes,
His answer may be less suspicious…
This lazy gourmand
At the bottom of his pond,
May discover forks propitious!
–
–Jonathan Caswell.
He tried separating himself,
His work from the rest…
Expected lots to follow him
And pass his subtle test.
–
Alas and a lack,
Most stayed in the crowd…
Very few came over,
His ego broke and bowed!
–
Blog following prefers him here,
Amidst what he creates…
He finds noise and inconvenience dear
And his blog he celebrates!
