Denis Martindale Poems

Once given a heart, we should use it,
not just to pump blood back and forth,
but to desire what is truly beautiful,
not just seeking beauty for itself alone,
...

How sad it would be if nobody here
Had ever seen your friendly face,
Or read about your love for poetry,
Or gained some new insight you could have shared.
...

Based on the great eternal hope
That God still wants to save,
The Christian Gospel spans the globe,
Based on the gifts we gave...
...

Deer Lord, teech me to write reel good
Sew that my words are understood
And folks apreciate my stuff
About the girls I used to love...
...

When Van Gogh painted what he saw,
He shared that vision well,
With every brushstroke to outpour
The tale he had to tell...
...

A fable once was told to me
When I was just a lad,
It told of God and prophecy
As thought of by my Dad...
...

The tiger sneaked a private glance
Between the close-knit leaves,
Who knows if there would be, perchance,
Some walking meal that breathes?
...

Imagine what it's like to feel
Like God just doesn't care,
But then to find that Heaven's real
With love beyond compare!
...

A writer can embellish things
Like children often do,
But if I met the King of Kings,
My words must then be true...
...

Go well beyond the words you wrote,
The thoughts that you expressed,
For errors, find each antidote,
So you present your best...
...
