Denis Martindale Poems

Two meerkats stood amazed, aghast,
For there above them flew
A wondrous bird that was so fast
They knew not what to do!
...

When God proclaims His prophecy,
The angels listen close,
Because He holds eternity
And all His friends He knows...
...

I've travelled near, I've travelled far,
Across each noble land,
I've slept beneath God's shooting star,
Observed what God had planned...
...

Stand back, another's coming through!
Another poem's here!
Hello, hello, hello to you,
My precious, little dear...
...

In God's own time, His Son was born,
Beyond the Palace walls,
Beyond the shepherds' fields forlorn,
Beyond the new lambs' stalls...
...

My word, that elephant stood proud!
No diet had he planned!
He ate such food as was allowed
Each day he roamed the land...
...

The wolf was waiting, as you do,
Yet who could tell what for?
The scenery, the point of view?
Perhaps a sense of awe?
...

The tiger and the cub traipsed on,
Stripes in the snow so cold,
They knew it wouldn't soon be gone
And had them in its hold...
...

The leopard family set forth
To stretch their legs again,
Quite randomly, they went off north,
Yet pausing now and then...
...

Snow leopards brave the cold embrace
That Winter longs to share,
Yet this snow leopard needed space
And not the open air...
...
