Denis Martindale Poems

You're entitled to an answer
For poem titles thought,
Some can and yet some can't, sir,
To do the thing they ought...
...

The storm comes fast like endless night!
Its fury's then released!
Mankind prays helpless in its fight!
To wait until it's ceased!
...

I gave her choccies day by day
And flowers night by night,
I always let her get her way,
Though sometimes I was right…
...

Oh, how noble was the profile
Of Mother Jaguar
And so much so, she made me smile,
Because she looked a star...
...

The eagle owl perched on a tree,
The branch beneath its feet,
So statuesque, so solemnly,
So seldomly to meet...
...

The meerkats lounged as best they could
While on guard all the time,
That Summer's breeze, it sure felt good,
That sunshine felt sublime...
...

The tiger and two cubs laid low,
The water soothed their skins,
No other place seemed wise to go,
For then nobody wins...
...

The chimpanzee was quite a sight,
When I first saw him there,
You see, he looked quite young despite
The wrinkles everywhere...
...

I met a poet full of grace,
A poet full of love,
Despite the wrinkles on his face
And leathered skin so tough...
...

Oh, how blessed are they that hear it,
Serena's serenade,
For whoever stands there near it,
Such beauty shall not fade...
...
