The time is very near
Christ is returning soon
You who have ears please hear
The time is very near
Soon He will appear
Maybe morning, night or noon
The time is very near
Christ is returning soon

And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. Revelation 22:12
Talking with my neighbor,
Keeping our 6 foot distance,
Our words floating through the air
Land upon others ears
Across the courtyard.
Soon a 6 foot convention
Gathers. “The new normal.”
Syllabic Verse
Floating in the air
So many sounds surrounding
The Listening Ears
Swiftly capture each word
To bring them into the heart
Tanka
We have been created with two ears and one mouth, therefore,
“…be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:” James 1:19 KJV
Dwelling in the midst
Of closed eyes, ears, and minds
Rebellious house
Shuttered ears are deaf
To the truth knocking
Closed eyes can’t see the truth
Through shuttered windows
Mutinous minds existing
Behind hostility’s doors
Choka
Poem based on this scripture:
“Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.” Ezekiel 12:2
Prompt: write a poem that involves rebellion in some way.
Sweet sounds fill the air
Birds in the meadow singing
Music to my ears
Haiku
