The Map
Find Wisdom's call
His Word is gold
There find that all
Life's treasures told.
Comfort, Healing,
His Peace and Love,
With your reading
Touch God above.
For Truth sets free
Lamp to your feet!
The Way to see
Your God, to meet!

Class (Clerihew)
Dame Dorothy Parker
Sashays with wit and humour,
But Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The murders he did foil.

Memories of You
Like a song that lingers on
A distinct melody of love
Haunts me so until the dawn
Fleeting like the flight of doves.
A soothing breeze that goes
So swiftly through the trees
The heart, alone it knows
The pain seems not to ease.

Creativity (Choka Poem)
Imagination
is boundless, a gift blessing
the creative mind, freedom
to soar horizons
in vibrant prisms of color
liquid forms flowing with grace
mesmerize the eye
excite the thoughts and feelings
with magic, awe, and poetic sigh.

Her Weakness
Indulging
In her passion,
Savoring
Each moment's taste
With abandoned emotions
In her movement,
No haste.
Desires
Do conquer reason,
Satisfaction
Gives a sigh
She hesitates,
But goes on
To her weakness
Banana cream pie!

Tenacity
As winds set fires ablaze
Ignites a challenge there
Possibilities it will face
Sheer courage sets it bare.
The hardest rocks get broken
By drops of constant rain
A solid Will runs forth unshaken
By rocks of hardship and of pain.

Brevity (Cinquain)
Time saved
Direct, no frills
Points like cards laid down here
Get the aces, hearts, and diamonds -
Winner.

Christmas Because
We have Christmas because
God so loved the world He gave
His Only Son the cause
For all mankind to save.
We have Christmas because
The Savior Christ was born
When all of heaven made a pause-
God's Love made flesh that winter morn.

My Words, My Hand
Wealth is empty, love is fickle;
Gold is the friendship I give -
Prayers, though subtle
From this heart, receive!
Life is but once, so I stand
My chance is only Now,
Take my words and my hand -
Be blessed with peace, somehow.

What My Eyes Behold
Colors of glory,
Declare in motion
Praises purely
For His creation.
No vague accident
Creates such wonder.
It is so evident,
These have a Maker.
And thus it is proven
Each creature has told,
His love has given
What my eyes behold.
