Denis Martindale Poems

Think ink! Think ink! Think ink! Think ink!
It's so important, guys!
Before tonight in bed you sink,
Write something down, be wise!
...

I went out shopping, as you do,
Not knowing what I'd buy,
Just window shopping for some clue,
My credit card to try...
...

When Virgin Mary's womb was blessed,
New life began indeed,
In fact, God's Spirit brought the best,
So that God would succeed...
...

Anthologies were his domain,
His publisher to serve,
Yet other poets he would strain
Throughout their learning curve...
...

From Genesis, we learn the truth,
God made all things on Earth,
Yet adding to this precious proof,
Made Man to prove his worth...
...

Transcending time, transcending space,
His mind was just a blur,
Behind his eyes, behind his face,
Where dreams can still occur...
...

The Books of the Holy Bible form the Cross of Christ.

Eleven to the left,
Eleven to the right,
Eleven books raised high above,
...

The Bible says that God is love,
In oh so many ways,
Beyond the prayers that soar above
With sprinkled psalms of praise...
...

While challenges as yet remain
Upon this Earth we live,
Sometimes it helps if we refrain,
At rest, till God can give...
...

Yes, truly our days are numbered,
God counts them one-by-one,
Despite the nights we've slumbered,
Because this must be done...
...
