Denis Martindale Poems

Grammarly is my friend and guide
When poems spring to mind.
Hundreds of tests let me decide
On words found underlined.
...

When I peruse a font to choose,
I study everything!
Which one of these is sure to please,
Which one will be the king?
...

As a child, I made a perfume bottle using fragrant rose petals.
It didn't take long, so I was glad about the result.
The time passed, and I forgot about the perfume bottle I had filled.
My teenage years were almost over when my first date arrived.
...

'In God, we trust! ' the slogan said, by faith that they were Spirit-led.
Perhaps to dream of better things in service to the King of Kings!
With signs and wonders, come what may, through all the times they knelt to pray.
In Churches here and Churches there, when sharing love beyond compare.
...

For each location on this Earth, what three words come to mind?
A special place of so much worth it blesses all Mankind.
The Holy Land! The Holy Land! The land where Christ once lived.
Through prophecies that God had planned, He gave this precious gift.
...

A fellow poet asked me this,
As if he'd never lived,
To feel love's touch and heartfelt bliss,
To call it God's great gift...
...

The lone wolf, like a statue stood,
Feet firmly in the snow,
Surveying all the neighbourhood
While feeling somewhat low...
...

And can it be, this day has come,
Recalled by that selective some,
Who still survive what came to be,
For folks like those and folks like me?
...

My word, that guy could really write,
He knew what words to use,
Yes, even if he took all night
And day in what he'd choose...
...

No poems can I leave behind to bless my children here,
Because, you see, of all Mankind, no woman sought me near...
No wife, no child, to grace my home, no future legacy,
No need reciting of a poem or any poetry...
...
