Denis Martindale Poems

What on Earth is freedom?
We each have expectations of each other,
Perhaps in hoping for fair play, one to the other.
On another level, consider emotional baggage.
...

She had that and much more,
Just like the perfect recipe
Cooked right, without a flaw...
...

Wake up and seek the Lord again,
For time is flying by,
So keep aware, so now and then
You'll smile instead of sigh...
...

I asked the Lord what I should write,
Then Heavenward I rose
And suddenly I felt delight,
Like when joy overflows...
...

I am looking for a poem
A famous poet wrote,
I am sure that you must know him,
Not knowing seems remote...
...

Picture perfection crucified,
For that is all He was,
Right there, before them all He died,
Raised high upon His cross...
...

When God looks down upon this Earth,
The world in which life lives,
He wonders if we know His worth
And that He still forgives...
...

When zebras start their morning graze,
They huddle cautiously,
There's no point being in a daze
Without the wits to see...
...

I started with the title first,
That interesting pun,
For nothing else had been rehearsed
Or thought what should be done...
...

What! ? How dare you read my poem! ?
You've filled me with regret!
I had to edit and to trim!
It's not quite finished yet!
