POET…AFTER (A) FASHION!

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?

<3 MY LOVE FOR LADY BLOGGERS! <3

ā¤Ā Ā Ā Ā  MY LOVE FOR LADY BLOGGERSĀ Ā Ā Ā  ā¤

Avowed love of lady bloggers,

Hard-working creative bloggers…

I love thee all

For me you stand tall,

DrivingĀ us romantics bonkers!Ā  šŸ™‚

Some of you are very fetching,

Appearance not all that’s catching…

The mind and heart–

Thy very art–

Draweth me to your fine meshings!

By word and artistic guile,

You make this creative man smile…

Cry and laugh

On your behalf,

Each in a wonderful style.

Long distance hugs the rule

In this community cool….

Cool in attitude

To not be rude,

Suggesting of anything cruel.

Group hugs all around,

My love to all of you found….

In likes and raves

From this former knave,

Who likes in whose company he’s found!

šŸ˜€

CHOSEN BY GOD–NOW GROW!

CHOSEN BY GOD–NOW GROW!

(Ephesians 1: 1-6; 15-23)

Open my eyes, oh Lord Most High,

That I see and comprehend…

All the SpiritĀ  found in Thy Word–

The Wisdom that has no end.

Brothers and sisters praying for me,

Uplifting me through prayer…

That I may see and practice–

Avoiding demonic snare!

Shepherd and under-shepherd both,

Ply Christ Jesus’ troth,

His Body–His Bride–

The Church might abide

In the mind of Christ with growth.

Strengthen then your resolve,

To ask Spirit’s help to see…

All God’s wonder, power and mercy

And with the same, treating me!

If forceful men and women

Can hoodwink the American news crowd…

And not challenged for their deception,

We humble ourselves–not Proud.

If they can’t see through veiling,

How then can we…

Except humble asking for wisdom

From our Father God in eternity?

If only…the Christians would rise up–

If only they believed for sure…

That Christ, God’s Son, gave us Power

In His Spirit to do and endure!

SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT

SIGNS OF PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT

The troubles that got him in trouble

Have certainly been re-arranged,,,

The signs that his self- worth has doubled–

Look at how he has changed!

He holds his tongue much better

When angry or tempted to say…

Some inane “to a female” comment

From which he could be blamed.

He’s striving more to be happy,

Working on his N scale rail line…

Piecing track together

So for him it will look fine..

And with extra cunning…

He could get it running,

He’s got the wire

And belly fire,

To make it really SOMETHING!

At home he’s changing to be

For his wife treating her gently…

Not as sore

Or keeping score,

Remembering his faults intently!

He seems in better mood,

Then what was formerly viewed…

His doctor sees

Realities

Are changing—the change is good!!!
