From the beginning, perfection - v5

From the beginning, perfection - v5


From their beginning, perfection

from conception, completion,

completeness in each kernel,

All of the flowers’ lives, each flower,

the leaves, the branches, the bunches,

already present, emerging, nascent,

in the bud before their blooming.


All the complexity of life

the DNA, the code, unfurling,

the completeness of each flower,

All these captured in miniature

in the kernel, the infinitesimal,

already present, emerging, nascent,

in the bud before their blooming.

We are so quick to waver

 We are so quick to waver


We are so quick to waver

to compromise our integrity;

we fail to hold fast to God’s truth

the path God that has written.


We struggle in our spirits, our journey

we cleave to the flesh, the uncertain;

we compromise, we make excuses

when we stray from our path.

unwavering, it is eternal

more sure than the dawning

the start of a new day.

we need to strive to be faithful

to not compromise, to waver.

Our integrity becomes gray

 Our integrity becomes gray


with each excuse, each equivocation

each redirection, each changing

our integrity becomes gray

drifting from the standard


we lose our way, our character

others lose trust in our statements

with each lie, each compromise,

each excuse, each equivocation.

Nouns Verbs and Adjectives – v6

Nouns Verbs and Adjectives – v6


We added words, one by one, quickly,

onto the blackboard in the front of the classroom

their little arms raised, thrust, into the air,

sometimes too excited to wait.


Colorful language blurted out, passionate,

their urgent important words.

They were nouns, verbs, and adjectives

words of a walk in the forest, details,

pulled from their imagination, experience.


All are worthy, all are valid, at least for him, for her,

each one who named them, who spoke them out loud

all are written down, carefully, to be used.


Together we wrote a poem, stringing the words together,

communally knitting the lines, amid laughter, easy, fun,

before they wrote their own poem with their own words.


They used their own Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives

and Adverbs, so daringly!
