Denis Martindale Poems

An elephant has much to learn
And that takes time, of course,
The way to walk, or run and turn
Since Nature has her laws.
...

At dead of night, out on patrol,
She went to cemeteries!
She hoped to meet no living soul,
Just vampires there to seize!
...

The leopard's eyes scanned left and right,
As sunshine faded fast,
For soon would come the moon and night,
When one more day had past
...

When meerkats stand and stare and stare,
Attentive they must be,
As if to prove how much they care
For friends and family...
...

From out the darkness of His tomb,
The Son of Man arose,
Departing from the deathly gloom,
Apart from bloodstained clothes...
...

Within this world of wondrous things,
Snow leopards learn to live...
From gentle cubs, as underlings,
To parents, life to give.
...

It's rare to see your lion face
For most would stay away,
Yet if you don't give me the chase,
I'd see your mane like hay...
...

The cheeky cheetah cubs looked calm,
Until they heard a sound...
Then they looked up, alert to harm,
For dangers to be found.
...

The tiger crunched the frosted ground
As he went on patrol,
With nothing living all around,
He stood a lonely soul...
...

Happy birthday, Jesus,
enjoy it to the max,
Look down from Heaven
with a heart-filled joy,
...
