WHEN PRODUCTION SLOWS…

When poem production slows,
I watch train videos…
Nice to see
Inspiration for me,
Keeping my imagination on its toes!

WEEKEND MOVIE REVIEWS
WEEKEND MOVIE REVIEWS
(Personal opinion about a so-called “Biblical” movie.)
The wife and he settled down,
Easter weekend not in town…
Settling food
By movies viewed,
On TV–familiar ground.
–
What is it with movies today,
That throw old stories away…
To make up in turn
Glories unearned,
Mislabeling must be okay!
–
The 2006 version
Of “THE TEN COMMANDMENTS” our diversion…
Mislabeled as such,
It spendeth too much
Time making God the aversion.
–
Moses was portrayed
As hearing god in his “hade”*…
Took no advice,
His life sacrificed,
Ignoring any offers of aid.
–
(“The Ten Commandments” entitled
For them, barely minutes of fame…
Broken on the calf by this plot path,
This god said, “Don’t come up here again!”)
–
So the tribes made laws by default,
With definite secular gestalt…
Majority rules
Without godly tools,
Just Moses’ wisdom and salt.
–
Of course it was hard to see
With all those commercials for “free”…
Three-in-a-row
The same thing showed,
Interrupting the plot frequently!
–
We watched until it was done’
A mislabeled movie..no fun…
If I’d paid a pack
I’d want money back,
For that channel, this “inspiring” was glum.**
–Jonathan Caswell
* Poor attempt at an accent. Some folks somewhere do pronounce “head” like “hade”…Sorry for the attempt, but I needed to rhyme there!
** “inspiring” being a general hint as to where this Biblical fiasco was shown. Methinks they SHOULD ask for their money back…but that is just a poet’s view point…who believes more in the Bible account than apparently the producers of this movie did.
SOCHI AND HOPETOWN
SOCHI AND HOPETOWN
Vicarious and satisfying
Things we choose to view…
People want to see a show
That makes them feel brand new.
–
Something to celebrate life
Beyond our personal means…
Physical and beautiful,
Fulfilling of great dreams.
–
The Olympics, sure reality,
Although they are worlds away…
Making dreams more possible
If only for today.
–Jonathan Caswell
DREAMS OF WHAT CANNOT BE
DREAMS OF WHAT CANNOT BE
Day dreams he has a lot
About what he hasn’t got…
Abilities too,
That he cannot do
Reflecting those things he is not.
–
“If only” the visualization,
He’d been given better designation…
For things that he would
If only he could,
He’d be a source of inspiration!
–
But of course the real cost
Is beyond opportunity lost…
His identity
Would change naturally,
His current blessings thus tossed.
–
It is better by far
To praise God for who you are…
No need for a splice
With alternate vice,
You don’t know how bless-ed you are!
