Denis Martindale Poems

My word, white tigers look so fine,
Yet this one looked worn out,
Flat out, as if he must recline,
No more to stroll about...
...

If I should pen my deepest thoughts,
For this whole world to share,
Not treat these as my life's reports,
Of which I'm well aware,
...

The angel of the Lord came down
And placed his hand on mine
And told me I don't need to frown
If I'd write out each line...
...

Redeem yourselves, Mankind, I say!
Escape the loss of land,
So that you save what's left to stay,
Check what the Lord has planned...
...

There comes that hour leopards search,
When food weighs on their minds,
When every leopard feels that urge
Till promptly food he finds...
...

The lioness was near to sleep,
Eyelids felt heavy now,
It looked quite hard for her to keep
Herself awake somehow...
...

When Jesus taught us how to pray,
He really helped us out,
By giving us the words to say,
He ended every doubt...
...

The older meerkat led the way,
The young ones followed close,
To see the dawn of one more day
And yonder light that glows...
...

Oh, how on Earth do I write it,
That poem of renown,
Encompassing both skill and wit
To get those verses down?
...

When God made every life on Earth,
He said that it was good,
For everything He made had worth
In Eden's neighbourhood...
...
