Denis Martindale Poems

Mankind's been blessed with wondrous minds,
His legacy's ensured
And so much more the day he finds
The blessings of the Lord!
...

The Mother Cheetah stood her ground
Surveying all to see,
In silence, not a single sound,
Portraying mystery...
...

From just a cub, the lion grew,
From strength to strength to rise,
Such that, if now, he looked at you,
The sight would mesmerise...
...

The man got in my taxi cab,
That's when he asked me where,
God put some facts where folks could grab
His truths they could compare...
...

The Mallard Duck was quick to quack,
He wasn't one to halt
And with no language, bound to lack,
That hardly was his fault...
...

Two tigers had now formed a bond,
The future looking bright,
Yet one of these was over-fond,
Affection in plain sight...
...

'Are we there yet? ' the calf inquired,
As elephants would ask,
That walk so long their feet get tired,
As if too much to ask...
...

The Bengal Tiger faced the dawn,
With hunger and with thirst,
With every stomach pain to warn
He felt like he'd been cursed...
...

When nights were clear of modern Man
And what pollution's done,
The telescopes could better scan
Far further than the sun...
...

God's word commenced inside my heart
Then soared into my mind,
Then, suddenly, it split apart,
Now millions I can find…
