!!

(Exclamations)

Uh-Oh! Oh No!

Egad! So Sad!

Exclamations fill the gaps,

Conveying our response to ills.

They are not a memory lapse.

Wow! Indeed! I don’t know what to say!

Awesome! Not Bad! Outstanding! Hey!

Supportive salutations,

Our words, reflective acts

Convey congratulations,

Worthy pats on our backs.

Exclaiming is a shout out loud

Expressing our delight.

Woo Hoo! Whoopee!

Xena’s Yah Yah Yah just before a fight.

But I wonder how an Angel

Exclaims when things go right?

For heaven is our final bliss.

Exclamations, all the glory!

Such a simple punctuation

Rapts up our earthly story.

Satan's Standing Room

Mostly for the Easter season, but also to participate in a couple of blog hops, I wrote a poem...
The abstract is melting snow crystals that I enhanced with blue....It seemed to suit the poem.

Satan's Standing Room

‘No rest for the wicked’

So the saying goes

As a gleeful Satan runs to and fro.

With access to the very inner circle,

Our Satan tattles his tales

Of never ending woes, of all that fails.

Meanwhile, the One rests at the Right Hand

Sitting, relaxed, knowing all his heirs are tools

Biding time in heaven, awaiting His footstool.

For Hell will be standing room only

No rest, nor relief, no way to cope.

When Christ sat down, his work finished,

Redeeming mankind, our true hope.

 Happy Easter Everyone♫♪

X Spots The Mark

Poetry and a cautionary tale equals: X Spots The Mark

Participating in Alphabe-Thursday letter X
Click the link for a variety of eXcellent blogs♫

Silky smooth talker

Phones you with the op.

To get in quick,

  Make your money thick

A chance that’s unique,

 (He knows what makes you weak.)

Your questions, he has answers

He’ll even stop you

To give you his reference number.

 Check it out at your convenience.

(Knowing all the while, it’ll never be researched.)

He’ll get back to you within the week.

This opportunity’s reached its peak!

You become the balker.

The investment price makes you stop.

‘Well, wait awhile, just got a text,’

Says our mysterious mr. X

‘My supervisor is at my side

 With a discount only he can provide.

You’re uniquely situated!

We can accommodate.’ You feel it’s fated.

‘Send the papers, here’s my card…’

Total transaction is not hard.

Everyone feels gratified

Until you need to be clarified.

X is off this week (or year)

And from him you’ll never hear

His money’s pocketed

You’ve been soaked

Buyer beware

Is never a joke.

Can’t wait for this political malarkey to be over and done with

Twistwhim

This is an entry for a contest where you had to use words from a word bank. Underlined words are from the word bank, although they add texture to the piece.  Twisters are not symmetrical, so I went for the odd shape♫♪

Twistwhim

                 Sunny, started out.

    Darkened, I smartly shout,

        “Hail, all ye who are gathered,

              Wild clouds may turn to twister!

            Swift! Seek shelter!

                           Be not victims of Joplin-like disaster!”

                              But nay, the herd of clouds, corralled,

                                Ascended, lariated, and squalled.

                Then, blown windswept by nature’s valve, dissolved.

Collectively,

           We breathed reliefs…

                         All’s at

                             Peace

                              !!!
