Daniel Partlow Poems

Howl Allen Ginsberg with Nebuchadnezzar’s
Prideful Madness-Lycanthropic
For this generation’s minds lie bleeding and ravished
in the streets of the libertine-philosophic
...

Gather to Him to hear the Word which heals and protects.

The Fifth Command...

Children are to respect parents, that they may live long.
Parents are to love them back by teaching right from wrong.
...

Currents of unyielding force
Deep is thy chaotic course…
...

Be the resonating harmony as angels lift the harp and strum it.
...

Though everywhere it is supposedly outlawed
In many places, the enforcement is terribly flawed.

Without love or charity, Id just be noisy cymbals and crashing gongs.

Understanding mystery and giving prophesy to the waters and to river;
...

But he was not joined by his King and liege.
