Denis Martindale Poems

The wild wolf howls at yonder moon,
No sign of happiness,
For twilight comes by, oh so soon,
The daylight to suppress...
...

A tiny chestnut tree grew tall
To span the decades well
And in the Autumn or the Fall,
Its spiky conkers fell...
...

The human body's all we are
Till we explore this life,
It doesn't matter, near or far,
We find both joy and strife,
...

Just how can we stay positive
In this old world of ours?
At times, the only hope is IF,
Yet IF is full of powers!
...

As Mary lay upon her bed,
She waited, deep in thought,
With many questions left unsaid
And truth the last resort...
...

Hello, white tiger, long and sleek,
Enrobed in black and white,
Quite dignified and magnifique,
A truly wondrous sight...
...

As if cool water called his name,
The tiger had obeyed,
Remaining calm as his first aim,
Thus by cool water laid...
...

Of course, the Alpha Course began
With holy fervent prayer
That God might yet fulfil His plan
With everybody there!
...

Almost sixty, just weeks to go,
Yes, less than twenty days
And only God above to know
Of how the future plays...
...

'Redeem the time! ' the Bible says,
It's there in black and white,
As if the focus of our prayers,
Our wisdom and insight!
...
