Don't Let Down Your Guard!

They would come at night,
Many people disapeared
-learn to sleep with fear.

Parents and children
Lay side by side on boardwalk
-where they drank Kool-aid.

She sits on the porch,
Waiting for her ride to prom
-he goes with her friend.

Christmas by fireside,
Hessians toast the holiday
-Washinton attacks!

Praying in garden:
Not my will, but yours be done!
-Judas come with kiss.

He surfaced to eat,
Gulls flocked down, they threw harpoons
-running him through side.

We watched the t.v.
Knowing our candidate won!
-next day:total shock.

Murphy's Haiku #36
A nice sunny day
Then, as I'm leaving, it rains!
-forgot umbrella.

One Single Impression: Defenses Down

Be it Resolved To Write Poetry

Being Dyslexic
He was teased by other kids,
Always called "retard."
Burning inside, he showed them!
-worked hard, achieved Honor Roll.

Walking through Auschwitz,
G.I.s said Never again!
-yet, many times since.

They marched with banners,
Yelling their protest slogan of peace
-"Hell No!-we won't go."

Puritan Forefathers
Vowed to build City on Hill
-hanged those thought witches.

He so loved the world,
To save it, endured the cross
-men gambled below.

Escaping famine,
They passed through Ellis Island
-to build better life.

Jack had foolproof plan,
To be a very rich man!
-sell Tofu coffee.

My wife told me once,
Eat only three plates per meal!
-New Year's resolution.

For One Single Impression :Resolve

Happy Easter

I asked forgiveness,
He showed me His hands
-Where the nails had been.

Not Forsaken

He was on the cross,
Looking up and despairing
- and yet still praying.

Fellowship

I prayed for Peace-
He had me go out and bring
People together.

Breaking Bread

I asked Him for food
He took a loaf and broke it
-and gave me seven.

Passion Sunday

We greet Him with palms,
As He enters the city
-riding a donkey.
