Denis Martindale Poems

Invited to an evening meal,
The married woman went,
Not knowing if her host was real
From what she had been sent...
...

When little children go to school,
They learn what children can,
Perhaps to learn the Golden Rule,
Perhaps to learn God's Plan...
...

For rhymes, I counts me syllables,
I counts them line-by-line,
While watching as a new verse falls
According to design...
...

I wasn't always like this way
The sort who'd sort it out
But now I'm like this every day
And switch text all about
...

Found in a field, claimed for their own,
The Kents were blessed indeed,
No longer feeling so alone,
Their new lives would proceed...
...

Each kitty's just a ball of fluff,
A teeny-weeny form
And not what you'd first think as tough
And yet it's soft and warm...
...

Two tiger cubs were nudged along
By Mum and Dad behind,
Who never thought the water wrong,
In fact, they thought it kind...
...

The miracle of love's reward,
Indwells us every day
And blessed are those that trust the LORD,
Whatever, come what may...
...

The lion learnt a thing or two
For getting his own way,
A timely roar, if overdue,
Reminding to obey...
...

When God is silent, doubt begins,
Yet Jesus prayed again,
Was this the time to die for sins
And if not now, then when?
...
