Short Terza Rima Poems

Time, a human creation,
Other animals know of no such thing,
Time a simple thing, that rules our nation....

The dawn breaks, I rise up to greet the day
My sleep, though dreamy and peaceful, I must leave
For I must go back to reality....

WINDOW

window to the soul
may not be done with mirror
choose some quiet place
eyes closed    body relaxed
you looking at you    just light...

I am stuck here in this class, a prisoner but without a crime,
Time slows to a crawl, and day by day we go,
Stuck here in this invisible slime....

`Till I stop breathing, I won`t stop living.

Basking in the sun`s warmth, proof that I still feel.

So long as my heart beats, I`ll always dream.

Happy birthday, Sister Wilma, 
Poets try the Italian verse; 
The rhyme scheme of Terza Rima 
Is interlaced as they rehearse. 

Topic: Birthday of Wilma D. Honrubia (March 19)...

There once was a girl named Shama
Who wondered about her karma
As a poet her rhymes
Were always out of time
To most her terza rima was trauma

Silence in my heart
Causes me to cry
Tearing my soul apart.

Often I will sigh
With echoes in the room
Wafting to the sky

The emptiness is my doom
Leaving me alone
Surrounded by gloom...

Faith keeps on going
Daily as prayers are submitted
Love and peace with much Joy are present
With peace and more
God loves love
The heaven and stars above
Prayers as one stand
Living life again....

As the living water
Moves within streams 
falling down from the mountain source 

Baptising love in crystal light 
With burning flames inside the soul 
For keeps each word holds reverence to your name...

...comes now the ebb,

         between twigs, someone spins
  
               its silken web...


...brown twigs are such

         one's fingertips desert

               their sense of touch..!...

O' Holy Jesus
you gave your life,
for us.

Our faith and hope in you makes us dive
into the ocean of joy and  love.
Your grace keeps us alive....

The moon with a full smile beams 
cradled inside the golden ring around 
stars twinkle entering one vision 

Cut from the clearest crystals 
baptised through the oceans mist 
held on the throne crowning beauty...

PRIMORSKAYA    APRIL


Trees are lost in the misty river’s sweep,
Tall buildings disappear
In the still chill of morning.


Below the glassy surface of the deep
And horizontal water,
The cold sun is swimming....

A symbol
of our creation 
is the birth of love

One heavenly gesture 
complete encompassing 
one's heart 

In divine purity 
embraces the darkness with warm light 
within our spiritual being

Unrhymed tercets...

Still; my soul is graced
Breath of heaven falls
Kissed upon my face

Risen, yet to fall
Swell to flow out
Silence speaks it all

A spirit in drought
Finds the water deep
Never to run out

Fire does not sleep
Fallen yet to leap...

In italian “winkle” is like a verb
Imperative exhorting then to win
Exalting thus the strength of the nice herb.

If in winter looks like it's dry within
You see it back with its sky blue flowers
And quite sudden resurrected has been....

comes now the ebb,

      between twigs, spider spins 

            its silken web...



                  for brown leaves are such,

                        fingertips desert 

                              their sense of touch !...

We are not 
Willing to be a hut
With a hailing, haunting history

Our fallen fathers fought for a golden glory
And our martyred mothers sealed the sacred story

With our hands and heart tied together
We’ll never break our border
Asunder....

An eager eye in space
Search high and low
Long to see the face

Search a thousand rows
From the sky to ground
Hill to peak of snow

All that I have found
Is nothing to be seen
Faint; a growing sound

You have always been
Here I stand between...

Whispers out of night 
When the rising sun 
began to awaken her eyes

Dawning golden warm holds breath
deeply delicious waves colours 
expelling darkness beholding

Priceless the light 
that touches down softly 
beautiful dream gently kisses

unrhymed tercets...

Original Poetry?

As poets are we to be condemned?

For every verse and rhyme
To check its providence.

Do we have the time
To produce the evidence
Of copyright, so as to fend
Off the stigma and shame.

Never to be able to publish again....

MOTHER


People often cry 

And ask when does life begin? 

Does the answer lie 



With  clinical exactitude?

With  religious dogmatism?

With legal  certitude?


With political correctness, or  other?

No,  the simple fact is that

Life begins  with the word mother...

I stare long and hard at nothing,
           still can't figure out something,
                         her whisper lingers long and lilting


                         like an old song of youth haunting,
           echoing away as a ripple of silence
and I forget all hurts and violence!...

Convicting Thoughts
August 1968
By Miracle Man
January 15, 2021

I reasoned why to me they came,
convicting thoughts that appeared;
God released me from my shame.

Things God thought I need know,
He introduced Jesus, to be revered;
Heart now possesses an inner glow.
