Denis Martindale Poems

The tiger knew the sun was hot,
So to the stream he went,
Because he liked the stream a lot,
Thought it was Heaven-sent...
...

When four bear cubs were granted space
To stroll along one day,
There was no sudden sad disgrace
Because they chose to play...
...

I'd like to find some ways to write
When ideas just aren't there!
I'd like to get some new insight
So great that I must share!
...

The heart and mind combine as one,
The spirit thus set free!
To rise on high, warmed by the sun,
On wings of poetry!
...

When I gaze upon your winsome face
Watching your lips dance as you speak
Doing some fast tango as words spill forth
And your eyes blinking away nervously
...

Lovers look up at the stars,
See the Universe dancing across the sky,
Perhaps a shooting star
And though humbled by the majesty of it all,
...

Behold, a Christian poetess,
Seeking the ultimate good,
Not just the feel-good, right now.
One who cares, dares, shares
...

A billion hearts beat just like mine,
With barely hope to live,
With no-one as my Valentine,
Despite the love I'd give...
...

To say I'm crushed is not enough,
I'm battered, fading fast,
A stand-up rose so full of love,
But now folks look aghast...
...

Oh, how blessed the day I met him,
A poet so he was!
A guy with thoughts up to the brim,
Though sometimes at a loss...
...
