A painting of “ESTHER LING,”
Indeed is it the real thing…?
The one we loved
And her blog, white doved,
Or is it just a representative thing?

A painting of “ESTHER LING,”
Indeed is it the real thing…?
The one we loved
And her blog, white doved,
Or is it just a representative thing?

The nature of who I am,
So sorry to post and scram…
Wife want eating
Three meals completing,
I’l come back here if I can!
–
This blogs my poetry,
Finding mine is the key…
SEARCH: “Caswell”–
Most are revealed,
Written heroically!
–
As to the prompt–almost any–
Subject inspiring–many…
Three or four styles
Bring you smiles,
A Christian blog not like any?

–Jonathan Caswell
This Poet has the method to his madness,
To share my Savior’s joy and gladness…
Enlisting Spirit vim
for those who hear Him,
And eyes would open in gladness.
–
It is to celebrate life,
To announce my love for my wife…
To share God’s gifts
Freely to enlist,
Souls to serve Him for life!
–
At least that’s the crux of the matter,
Engaging in meaningful chatter…
I want to show
God’s love on the go,
Is going for ever after!!!!

She swallowed my comments TWICE,
I don’t think that was NICE…
One-sided talk–
The other side stopped–
Is really a fascist DEVICE!
–
Although–there is another blog–
In which my comments don’t log…
This might be a measure
To some comments treasure,
I keep my comments open–not demagogue!
–
They can do what they like,
I will not return a strike…
Nor delete
Any comments I meet,
Unless that is what they’d like!

Advice from an “old man”
Don’t let the crowd command…
You to produce
A poor excuse,
But pick your ground and stand!
–
Having “LIKES” for posts is nice,
But some posts cut a deep slice…
Or folks bored
With that kind of sword,
Won’t be caught thinking twice!
–
Many older posts,
Look like towns with ghosts…
Not a LIKE
Or comment strike,
So much for a poet’s boasts!
–

Finding a nearly-sixty-year-old,
Fashion poet leaves some rather cold…
A shock to see
The elderly,
Actively trends they behold!
–
He sin’t always a saint,
But postive pictures he’ll paint…
Good exposure and pride
Knowing someone’s on their side,
Hoping his maleness isn’t a taint!
–
Again he must balance his views,
Determined to spread good news…
His challenge is to write
Poetic fashion insight,
Though alas, bias for certain styles–skews!
–
A fan of the button-up blouse,
It’s clean lines he’ll endorse…
Other styles
He compiles,
To show what they are, of course!
–

It sounds controversial
For a Christian to appeal…
To believers of all other gods
To lend their aid and deal…
With the human suffering
Of two major hurricanes
Families of many faiths
Enduring loss and pain!
–
Even if you have no god,
Please think good thoughts to heal…
It’ll be a long time till many folks
Return to an even keel;
This is what my Dad might have done
In his liberal theology…
Reaching out to all concerned
With no apology!
–
I’ m thinking of a special friend,
A blogger fresh and true…
Known as Holly Hunter
And other Floridians, too;
Her “House of Heart” is quiet till
She survives the storm….
I repeat my concern
For her a colleagues’ love is warm!
–
To our knees, lotus positions, or however you access the divine—for the sake all storm victims!
What does a fashion blog do,
In my case, to give ample views…
Of the currently stated
Fashion related,
To people who want looks new!
–
For me, an additional ken,
To write a suitable poem…
Appearance or design–
Either can rhyme–
Expressing lyrically then…!
–
Not only women count,
But am showing men’s–a small amount–
The opposite gender
I deem more tender,
And worth every verse that comes out!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
It must take courage to pose,
In plain or fancy clothes…
The public eye
(including guys),
In essence the whole world she shows!
–
More for a purpose than money–
Some responses are rummy–
Courageous means
Fulfilling fond dreams,
Good reason to flatten that tummy!
–
Amateurs know whom they are,
Accepting themselves above par…
Not letting shape
Become like red tape,
But showing we all can star!

Little stone pagodas,
In some garden corners…
Garden protection
By spirit direction.
Not wanting any reformers!
–
For those who believe,
These little houses conceived…
To spirits open
Gardeners hoping,
Blessing s are on the way!
–
For Christians, this garden art,
Tempts those who escaped this part…
Of pagan belief
It is no relief,
Knowing spirits here park!
–
Some claim these are ornamental,
And we shouldn’t be judgmental…
If one has escaped
Being spirit chased,
Getting rid of these is fundamental!
–
When I see these—will they be removed?
No–each one chooses spirit truth…
We can pray
You’ll toss them away,
But it is your choice and your roof!

My friends have their own opinions and beliefs. Not everyone may be aware of what these cute stone pagodas represent, which I feel I should point out–then leave the deciding up to each person to decide for themselves!–Jonathan E.
