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...
...

Behold the times, the passing years,
The essence of excess,
While some excel in crying tears
Of awesome loneliness...
...

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

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

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!
...

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...
...

Two tigers traipsed the river's edge,
The leader heard a noise...
When entrusted with this knowledge,
Both tigers had no choice...
...
