Denis Martindale Poems

The kingfisher first looked around,
Before leaving the nest,
To see the sights that could be found,
To his north, south, east, west...
...

When Winter comes, we put back clocks,
Aware the days are short,
Yet outside, there's the Winter fox,
Who sees life as a sport!
...

The lioness was with her cub,
The apple of her eye!
She told the cub to snuggle up,
Not just to stay close by...
...

The white owl wings sweep through the air,
Each feather plays its part,
Fuelled by the strength that got them there
When that owl made his start...
...

Inside my mind, inside my heart
Live joys for evermore,
The time young love first made its start,
To thrill me to the core!
...

Christian themes, dreams, visions, inspirations.
History brings remembrance how God inspired others,
...

The trick was simply to stay alive,
Defeat him while time permitted,
To cross his path without fear,
Willing to die or become an undead...
...

I ran down one street, hoping to escape them,
But he was waiting ahead, for me, eyes staring,
Shoulder slumped on one side, hand dangling,
Knowing the others were forcing me towards him,
...

Her picture's such a winsome sight,
She looks down from above,
Like Aphrodite dressed in white,
With wistful stares of love...
...

It often puzzles me to ask,
What's good about goodbyes?
Sometimes it's such a troubled task,
Tears streaming from our eyes...
...
