Denis Martindale Poems

There's one great song that Elvis shared,
A song I overheard,
It told me just how much God cared,
Such that my heart was stirred...
...

At the dawn of Man's becoming, spun a web of dark deceit,
So to seize his soul forever, clothed in envy sugar sweet.
In the darkness moves the shadow... like a veil of ebony,
Clouding all the sleeping senses, tracing out each destiny!
...

I've got programmes on my Sky box
And on my TiVo, too...
And every series I think rocks,
Is stored on my Freeview...
...

Young Bridget was a cautious soul,
Not one to risk her all,
She'd rather have her self-control
Than jump up high then fall...
...

The valiant hero stood his ground,
Defiant in the sun,
His shining armour shone around
On almost everyone!
...

The £10,000 prize attracted numerous contributions,
Some national and some as distant as Australia.
All poetry submitted by email for a specific purpose,
So that the emails could be filtered upon their arrival...
...

The wizard was quite new to it,
He tried to pick his words,
For magic didn't care one bit
If wizards thought like nerds...
...

God bless you on your birthday!
Thank you for Megadeals!
When prices plummet all the way
That's something that appeals!
...

And what is risk-it-all-ogy?
What does that mean to us?
Response to eschatology,
End times that cause a fuss!
...

The bestest writer in the werld!
Terror tales sending footsies curled!
Or soppy stuff thats full of love,
Romantic dreams that proved enough...
