	Ok. It's May, so that means I'm a day late and a dollar short...but I'm sharing anyway. This poem is an acrostic so the title can be read down the left side of the poem and it's also free style. JESUS BROKEN BODY; JESUS SPILLED BLOOD Jesus Endured everything meant for me... Shame and degradation Ugly words of hate Scourged and spit upon Body torn and pierced Redemption gained in each mark On His flesh Knowing, I put them there Eternally Not to shame me, but remind me Beautiful salvation Oh, the glory to be of such worth Daring to belong to Him Yahweh's beloved Jesus Endured everything meant for me... Shame and degradation Ugly words of hate Scourged and spit upon Slashed and bleeding Precious life flowing from wounds I caused Him to take in my place Love is the only reason Love paid a high price Even though it was my Debt to pay... Beautiful redemption Lasting forgiveness Oh, the glory of such love Only a Father can give Divine love...

	Ok. I'm not much for Iambic whatever's, but I have been birthing poetry for about as long as I can remember. Some are easy labors and births and others are long and arduous. Here is one recent birth that falls in between: I FELL IN LOVE TODAY I fell in love today... With a love that will last. All the other loves I've had Have faded into the past. This love has conquered all: All fear, all sorrow, all pain. This love will last forever; This love will never change. I've longed for this kind of love. A love so true and strong. No jealousy can ruin this love; No one can break this bond. I can't believe this gift of love-- I know that I am blessed. I know I'm not worth this love, Yet, it has made me priceless. I didn't work to earn this love, As so often is the case. All I did was lift my head And look into this loving face. I can't hold this inside me. I have to shout and dance and sing! I want to share about this love; This love that gives me everything. It brings me grace; it gives me joy; It gives a hope so precious. Oh, yes, I fell in love today... With You, my sweet Jesus.

	Cyanocitta Cristata (In Iambic Pentameter Quatrains abab) Crested, blue chattering bird; yes you are, Keeping my company all winter long; My other feathered friends have gone afar, From the snow and icy winds howling strong; Monogamously you mate ‘til you die Amid the good and bad you will partake. Humans on this trait should give it a try And stop the ever rising divorce rate. From my Ohio home I see you perch On the highest bough, there you take your place; Cardinals come not, for fear of your birch Your attacking skills show on pretty face. Fearless as love my jay-bird cocks its crest On the gray limb of a snow-flecked maple; Blue, white and black bedeck its fancy dress What shenanigans will you once more pull? Casey chased you from her backyard feeder She said you displayed a bad attitude And that you are a corvid pilferer Stealing and raiding with high latitude. I think Casey was harsh, mean and unfair For you only wanted to eat and play Musical notes across the woodland air; With fervent zest you do this night and day. From dawn to dusk I hear my blue jay’s call High in the forest trees it sings for me Throughout the winter, spring, summer and fall Its musical wheedle and tooloolee. Cynacitta cristata my true love I shall miss your sweet notes your voice recalls, And your gorgeous body floating above With peculiar quirks, ruffles and falls; I’m leaving Buckeye for the surf and sand, It’s for a while but I must go away To raise black-belly sheep on Maycock’s land; Shall be back jay-jay on Thanks Giving Day. (PattieDee)
