Teff  And Coddle
1-1-16

Of Teff and love grass
Connect my fondues
All for my wee lass
For cereal grass and livestock courage
There is a place in my heart for you
Who shall bemoan thee
Who shall go aside to ask how thou do
Paul is reckoned by Roman Praetors
And a Philippian jailer find his way
Now art gone backward
Today it seems just like a dream
Time for another post
And no significant cities
On the Black Sea coast
That the Christ had to suffer
For our politicos washed away like mud
To coddle and to treat indulgently
In times of luster waiting for the flood....




To Fan And Winnow
1-1-16

For ardent devotees
For enthusiasts to fire an automatic gun
In its continuous sweep
To separate chaff by means of the current of air
To rid of undesired parts
To examine closely
To separate the good from the bad
O, what must I be to be saved
Washing their stripes
Walking around with bedhead
The magistrates have sent to let you go
They have beaten us openly and still we say no
For Paul and Silas at Berea
Their widows are increased
To me above the land of the seas
In tacit conversation
A spoiler at noonday......





I Earn My Pistareen
1-2-16

A holler reckless
A fortuneteller for scalawags
Natural, a reprobate
Time for another post
Life has left its mark given
The angle trisected ultramarine
Our blue pigment made from powdered
Lapis Lazuli
Up at four to earn my pistareen
She that hath borne seven doth languish
Her sun is gone down while it was yet day
And coffee is served
Where our seller overreacts
To our purplish blue hue
Of all that is new in me and you.....




Get The Grist
1-2-16

It was to be today
So I make the morning last
Every one of them doth curse me
Confounded and ashamed
Yet among the blessed named
Shall iron break the brethren
Iron and steel as what we think
Doth permeate what we feel
For epical effervescence
We get the grist and grain for grindiple
And another rosebush of rude rumination
Our flowering shrub
And later on I get my Java
Verily it shall be hell with the remnant
Edify for our ecclesia
Paul visits Thessalonica
And church is founded there....
