Denis Martindale Poems

God's wondrous kingdom love began
When Jesus Christ was born,
Such that the Father had a plan
To overcome Man's scorn...
...

A poodle puppy can't climb stairs,
That's what I chose to teach,
So that some day my wholesome prayers
Would help that puppy reach!
...

With joyful laughs and winsome smiles
And fashions so refined,
She always wears the latest styles,
The very best designed!
...

The tiger roamed across the snow,
No certain place in mind,
With nowhere special he should go
And no romance to find...
...

This tiger simply had enough!
His ears were way too cold!
This Winter had been way too tough
And he felt way too old...
...

The elephant looked really rough!
He'd had a long, long day!
With wrinkles only Mums could love,
That's always been the way!
...

The stalking tiger crunches snow
Beneath his heavy frame,
Still biding time while hungers grow,
For him, life's not a game...
...

Two Arctic wolves as white as snow,
With eyes of black and gold,
Surveyed the landscape to-and-fro,
Amid their world so cold...
...

Four smirking lion cubs strolled out
As if the world were theirs,
As if they owned it all, no doubt
And felt like billionaires!
...

To some, he's just a lion there
Among the pride he owns
And yet he looks beyond compare,
Like kings upon their thrones...
...
