Write with Fire
Don’t procrastinate or think your call can wait till later, For careless, drifting sentences nee to be made greater. Take up your pen with passion burning bright each day, And honor God through every line you choose to say.
Midnight Mix-Up
On Friday, I scheduled my email with delight, Set for midnight Sunday. The timing felt right. I clicked and I typed while smiling ear-to-ear, “Monday’s discussion will start from here.”
Homonym Hullabaloo Word Family
A homonym waddled while wearing one shoe, And shouted, “I’m one word that might mean two.” He tripped on a tiny turtle named Mister Whatfor, Who said, “What means one thing might mean more.”
No Equal Anywhere
There once was a question that puzzled young minds, Of gods on the shelves in all shapes and all kinds. “Are they all the same?” came the curious cry— “Is anyone greater than he who is most high?”
No Room for Regret
I once looked back through memory’s glass, At roads unfinished and shadows long past. But the mirror fogged with a sorrowful sigh, Showing no road ahead, just a wondering why.
Checkmate for White
On God’s chess board with squares so neat, Two armies marched with marching feet. One dressed in black with snarling grin, One dressed in white to fight for him.
Friend to Pain
A scraped-up knee, a childish cry, Would bring a mother rushing by. A kiss would calm the ache inside, And tears quickly turned to pride.
Word Salad
“At the end of the day… When it’s all said and done…” Clichés march in a line like a well-rehearsed pun. “The bottom line is…” That sounds so divine, Yet somehow it wanders and never draws a line.
Working While Waiting
We’re not called to stare at the skies, While hours are wasted as dreams arise. To wait upon God isn’t letting work cease. It’s serving with faith and working in peace.
Serving Versus Selling
I’d rather wash the feet of those Who carry hidden, heavy loads. I’d rather serve with heart sincere Than chase sales through hype or fear.
WELCOME
A sign said WELCOME in letters so tall, But I scratched at my beard. Was that all? So much empty space, such a wide-open chance, For more words to invite someone to a dance.
Short Shorts
Oh the tales you can tell with a teeny-tiny trick, Just six little words: It’s quick, clever, and slick. A beginning, a middle, and the end all in view, Can you write a thoughtful story in words so few?
