Denis Martindale Poems

Two rhino calves looked mighty small
Next to their parent there,
Such that they hoped they'd be as tall
And make the others stare!
...

The happy hippo often spies
On creatures left and right,
With thankful heart, his beady eyes
Will gaze upon each sight...
...

The elephant stood mighty tall,
He really made me stare!
Against that giant, I'd feel small,
Believe me, I'd take care!
...

When that inner urge for writing
Begins in gaining strength,
I reach for God's enlightening,
To gain success at length...
...

Amid the twilight, nestled there,
The lone wolf bides his time,
Upon the snow so cold, so bare,
Yet he looks quite sublime...
...

While Summer lends its warmth and light,
The lion swaggers well,
For he was born to fight the fight,
To have a tale to tell...
...

A proud young thrush was singing strong,
The nest had just been made,
So intricate yet all day long
That thrush had none to aid...
...

When Stephen Gayford's paintings start,
They're borne of heartfelt love,
Beyond the most expressive art
That he must rise above...
...

Black Panther Jade, so dark, so sleek,
So pristine in the sun,
Of all God's creatures quite unique,
With beauty that can stun...
...

Black Magic, I shall name you thus,
For you are rare indeed,
So separate from all of us,
As if a noble breed...
...
