Denis Martindale Poems

Behold the tiger's face up close,
With all its deep-etched lines.
Like charcoal ridges by his nose,
How clearly each defines.
...

Two men were walking to Heaven
On the day that both men died...
At the age of seventy-seven,
The limit that God supplied...
...

Spider-Man has got a secret
That changed his life for good,
For he could spin a spider's net
No other human could...
...

Two little words that mean so much, a courtesy expressed...
A chance you really ought to clutch: somebody's done their best!
Two little words that show you're pleased because somebody cared!
Somebody helped thus tensions eased when love itself was shared...
...

The snow leopard stared intently,
At all things near and far...
While at times, he looked quite friendly,
You know how wild cats are.
...

Everything comes to those that wait,
If they wait patiently...
If not on time, it may be late,
But comes eventually.
...

As the sun was setting slowly,
The lion settled down...
Forewarned, majestic and holy,
Adorned in golden brown...
...

The sun shone brightly in the sky,
Crowned with a rainbow there,
While seagulls boldly chose to fly,
As if without a care...
...

Each man on Earth who strives for good
And seeks to bless the neighbourhood
Should ask himself what gifts he owns
To fight the evil crime condones!
...

May God bless you on your birthday
With gifts and cards and such
From those who care and those who pray
And those who love so much!
...
