Query any poem you want.

Wore a backwards collar.

Steeped in Greek

Some Hebrew.

Posited big questions.

The Fall in Garden he knew.

The squeeze of Olive Garden.

Sweet Olivet’s repose.

And then arrested

Was Jesus bested?

He knew of frauds’

Sheep’s clothes.

Gerard Manley* took all

Of same and masticated

Til.

He knew the Father’s

Loving Heart.

In poems would

Show His Will.

And Jesus valiant

From a Lad.

And visions that

The Spirit had.

And unction meant to fill.

(Read First John 4: 7-14)
