COUNT BLESSINGS ! A 5 ~ 9 Sonnet
swingline said:

Everything we have is on loan from God . Even oor life . And someday he will come and collect his due and profits . Pray that we may use his blessings and multiply his wealth as it glorifies his name and trust he places on us . So give thanks for everything , use his blessing wisely that you glorify his name .

BOTTLES ~ An ANAPHORA
Mandi said:

So true, RECYCLE! Lol I always save my glass bottles and reuse them for whatever or turn them into potions for my Halloween witch station😅. I have so many my mom tells me I\'m crazy, but always gives me some really neat shaped ones when ever she can. Love the rhyme, love this poem!

BOTTLES ~ An ANAPHORA
orchidee said:

Made me think - an AMPHORA is a kind of bottle too. I was around ages ago when they invented them - so I say, in my pretence for being millions of years old! Oh vanity - it\'s so no-one guesses my real age! A fine write B.

swingline said:

I\'m glad your angst is not bottled up . You\'ve cut them off at the bottle neck . Now that they have bottle bottom from too much cake . Your broken bottle diplomacy was from too much shake . Soon the Earth will be one big bottle dome . So raise you drink it\'s bottle up .

GOD\'S LOVE & GUIDENCE ~ A Monolittura Sonnet
orchidee said:

Erm, it can depend also, which number Psalm you are reading. e.g. 88 is \'dark\'; 109 is somewhat hellfire and damnation to enemies. Then sweet as light, e.g. 23, 145. And so on. I did a written \'discourse\' of rhyming \'said\' poem of Psalm 119. It clocked up 3,500 words!

A fine write B. Every word of mine, after me mad moments of sherry-drinking (fantasy of course. lol) begin with S too. As in \'Shumthing shows here, that is a sthunning write. I wish I would sthop sherry-drinking\'! Good acting too, innit? heehee.

swingline said:

I have been studying the book of Psalms for the last two months now . It is packed full of wisdom and knowledge everyone should use and put to practice . It is always gratifying to see someone doing the same as me for it gives me hope for the world . Than you Brian for these inspiring words .

MAN IN BLACK ~ JOHNNY CASH
swingline said:

Truly a giant among all muscans . One with a productive career spanning decades . But of all his great songs my favorite was Trent Reznor\'s song \"Hurt\" (Nine Inch Nail) . Anyone not moved by this epic music video has a heart of coal .

MAN IN BLACK ~ JOHNNY CASH
Goldfinch60 said:

The Man in Black.
Andy Brister (Goldfinch60) – October 2014

He sat on his stool,
Guitar in hand,
Dressed in black.
This man who had so much
To tell us;
But was misunderstood
By many.

He Walked the Line
Straight to Folsom Prison,
But escaped and found himself
Surrounded by a Ring of Fire;
Until those Ghost Riders in the Sky
Pulled him back to Jackson
Where his love for June,
Gave him the Peace in the Valley,
That he was seeking.

Starkville City Jail held him overnight;
The crime was picking flowers!
But when released he drove away
In the car he had built One Piece at a Time.
This Boy Named Sue
Drove into San Quentin,
Where the inmates showed him
A Sea of Heartbreak,
And that he wasn’t a Wanted Man.

The Bitter Tears that were shed
Over the Vanishing race;
But will survive
As Long as the Grass Shall Grow,
And Drums will beat out to banish
Apache Tears.

This man, dressed in black
To remind all those in their lightening cars
And fancy clothes
Of the others that were held back.

 
At the end he walked the Streets of Laredo
Picking up a Tear Stained Letter.
He was Hurt, but did not see Sam Hall
Singing Danny Boy.
As he walked the Bridge Over Those Troubled Waters
To Give That Letter to Rose
He Hung His Head, as In his Life
He was such a Desperado.
But He had his Own Personal Jesus.
Without June he was
So Lonesome that He Could Cry.
The First Time Ever he Saw Her Face
The Man Came Around and knew,
That they would Meet Again.

Johnny Cash died September 12th 2003 – four months after June Carter, his wife of 35 years.
The last stanza of this poem makes reference to all the songs in his last recorded album American 1V: The Man Comes Around (popularly known as Hurt)

I wrote this back in 2014.

Johnny Cash was a great artist. I was a kid when he passed away, but I still felt connected to him through his music, even to this day.
