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!

Image of Demi Monde…courtesy Demi Monde!
Is development really arrested
When males look upon the breasted…
Most understand
Instinctive command,
And are happy men are interested.
–
For those who were breast fed,
One’s children one hopes to have bred…
Must have the best
Of feeding by breast,
Is of great importance, it’s said!
–
I can’t speak for them,
Doctors in Mom’s day were given…
To a formula routine
With everything cleaned,
In my case a skimmed milk regimen. (?)*
–
For some of us, took a while,
To understand the reason we smiled…
Push come to shove
Anyone was loved,
Regardless of her profile!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
*Skimmed milk was the beverage provided in my childhood. Never asked or inquired—just assumed hat I was bottle-fed as an infant And nobody to ask, if I dared, now!
Is it okay to marry for looks,
Are hot spouses allowed in your books…
Beautiful babes
Just one of the aids,
To find that partner who cooks.
–
Find one in the Lord,
For a lifetime you’ll not be bored…
Practical matters
And spiritual factors
All must come on board!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
Read portions from SONG OF SOLOMON…and Proverbs 31.
Enigma within Christian faith,
Keeping “short accounts” being safe…
Living holy lives
By spiritual eyes,
Not the purview of apes!
–
Self effort has nil effect,
But the One Way through Christ accept…
To each other confess–
Pray to God, He’ll address–
But self pride for confession God rejects.
–
Security through faith, says Paul,
When law is removed Christ is all…
Act by Christ’s love–
God’s hand in your glove–
Walking more and more by Spirit’s call.
–
Spend much more time with Father, Son,
Live in the Spirit–three in One…
Bible study and frequent prayer
The tools to travel there,
To live in grace, “Thy will be done!”
–
–Jonathan Caswell
Martin Luther King Junior,
Was of a Godly humor…
In love he fought
That Christians ought
To walk by the Bible not rumor!
–
Willing to face,
Human kind’s racial disgrace…
Christian “saints”
Who said other “paints”
Were not of the human race!
–
Battled until he died
for his Lord crucified…
Hate didn’t win
when it killed him,
God’s love will never subside!
–
How many would lay down their life,
For Lord , for justice and wife?
He followed through
As I do too,
Who does all for the Lord gains new life!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
One may think the man is fruity,
He needed a good dose of beauty…
Typical male
Where sight prevails,
Socialization and cutie!
–
Talking with her pleasantly,
Important in remedy…
Of his despair
Her being there,
Totally missed her last time, you see!
–
Knows to not make waves,
But her friendliness him saves…
Someone to view
And nice to talk to,
When he emerges from caves!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
He calls himself “fashion poet”,
One or two others know it…
In pursuits
Avoiding lawsuits,
He certainly doesn’t want to blow it!
–
Him being man and all,
Must carefully judge his call…
With less passion
Than stereotypical fashion,
Not being the Beast at the ball.
–
Gender matters to him,
Especially if women…
They’re the kind
He most has in mind,
Do they mind if he tiptoes in?
–
–Jonathan Caswell
Cities have their “First Night”
A multi-culture delight…
Oft fireworks
Are among the perks,
In all a beautiful sight!
–
The wife and I will be home,
Like Christmas, pretty much alone…
Community dinner
Will warm our winter,
TV programs mostly for the young!
–
On Cable we’ll find a movie,
Or go to bed early (so groovy!)…
A time slot we’ve made
For the Rose Bowl Parade,
After that, we’re not as choosy!
–
Praise God for another year,
To grow in the Spirit to hear…
His inner voice
And making the choice
To grow closer to Him so dear!
–

Picture from a recent Worcester, Mass. First Night celebration.
Since when was this holiday
A Christian jamboree…
And when was it about Christ’s birth
Exclusively?
–
According to those who should know,
It was Winter Solstice time…
The sun was at its lowest point
And then began to climb…!
–
Christians–former pagans most–
Denied their revelry…
Church leaders wanted evangelized
Pagans who would see…
Christ’s birth celebrated
In holiness and respect,
Become interested and
Come into the church direct.
–
When the church went political with Emperor Constantine,
Everyone had to join the thing…
It wasn’t necessarily by choice or belief–
You HAD TO HEAR THE ANGELS SING!
–
Nonbelievers too
Had their own “underground” pews…
The “old ways” by the faithful stays
But not in public view.
–
Are the roles reversed,
When Christians can be cursed…?
The church’s power can’t make them cower
Or defeat a pagan purse.
–
Most do not see the fetters–
Getting worse before it’s better…
Christ is King but suffering
Is for those whose faith matters.
–
Keep then looking up,
Your redemption draweth nigh…
We will share the communion cup
Till anew with Christ, alive!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
It’s not like he knew he would,
Do it to himself good…
Just that
In a matter of fact,
It’s what he understood.
–
Knowing his temperament,
He wasn’t quite innocent…
Boundaries
Made safely,
Less chance she’d fear the gent.
–
He’s saddened by the whole thing,
Knowing his own being…
Trying to place
Her in his space,
One-sided deal not working.
–
With vigor abated,
It’s easier to stay related…
To his one friend–
His Missus again–
No other targets anticipated!
–
