Denis Martindale Poems

Joseph was born, Mary was born, each lived their lives on Earth...
A world some thought of as forlorn, yet God preserved its worth...
These children grew to adult age, betrothed and to be wed
And yet before the marriage stage, God intervened instead...
...

Two tigers took their ease at last,
Companions to a fault,
Yet now the hunt and feast had past
They called things to a halt...
...

Behold the times, the passing years,
The essence of excess,
While some excel in crying tears
Of awesome loneliness...
...

As Mary lay upon her bed,
She waited, deep in thought,
With many questions left unsaid
And truth the last resort...
...

Hello, white tiger, long and sleek,
Enrobed in black and white,
Quite dignified and magnifique,
A truly wondrous sight...
...

The skinflint saved his policies,
The skinflint saved his plugs,
The skinflint saved his first house keys,
The skinflint saved his mugs...
...

The pearl of great price was waiting...
In matchless majesty...
And he had no hesitating,
When he that pearl did see!
...

The Royal Tiger was acclaimed
Across the whole world wide
And in great pictures he'd been framed,
With genius and pride...
...

White tiger eyes, white tiger eyes,
So mesmeric in blue,
Are they to cut me down to size
So that I might fear you?
...

At first, the two wolves look the same
As others in the pack,
Yet in their hearts there burns a flame
That flares when they attack,
...
