Harlan Simantel Poems

to penny r
and janice k
and linda r
and cheryl k
...

olive tree
producing, fruitful
let me be
...

ancient day of rest
drinking in God's words
a scenic walk
in neighborhood Creation
...

give me, please
100s
not 60s or 30s
You they singularly
...

you are far stronger
than me, Lord God
who sent me
...

my joy
i intend
remain in you
...

jesus to the church:

get off your butts
religious nuts
...

i dreamed a simple dream:
i slowly opened
the massive wooden door
of a church
...

i had a dream
of a large wooden door
dead church-people inside
...

i wish i had the strength of sampson
the athletic similar skills of david in psalm 18
the graceful, inspiring scene
...
