Review of Temperature of Art


Fantastic Poetry!





This book, by T. Ponder contains a beautiful collection of poems. They are short, but they convey the writer's passion for life. I must admit one of the poems I didn't like, but just because I didn't, it doesn't mean you won't. The overall collection of poetry was superb. I laughed at one in particular. I won't say too much because it woyld be a spoiler alert. All I will say it has a surprise within it. Here's one of the poems from this interesting book:

Poem; "Wonder Woman"

All of a sudden you're bleak
I wonder what made you change
The qualities I used to see
In you still remain
Seems genuineness is detained
I wonder what made you change
Stress, makeup, or confidence
Looks aren't everything
Although you have them
Personality is key, you got it
Confident, less makeup, no stress
Small measures with no progress
Life is like a quest
Woman I wonder where we could go

There's a couple of short stories near the end of the book. One of which is about the author. They were pretty good, but not necessarily my cup of tea. However, this doesn't mean other people won't like it. By the way, Mr. Ponder has persevered through tough times in his life, such as the lost of is mom to cancer. To quote from his bio: "T. Ponder writes to touch readers through realism, insight, and humor. Covering topics such as: love, depression, achievement, and life experience." He's certainly an indie author who's on the rise! Overall I'd say this book is a must read.

Inspirational Poem: Selfish

Selfish

I am selfish, I try not to be but I am.
I guess its part of my sin nature to be selfish.
I don't want to help others unless there's something in it for me.
All I can think about is myself.
All I care about is three people: me, myself, and I.
The world teaches us to be selfish;
Go for yours and do anything to get yours,
No matter whom you hurt even if it's yourself.
I am selfish; I only want to do what pleases me.
I am selfish; I can't stop writing about myself in this poem.
How can I stop being selfish?
Oh I know learn from the teachings of Christ, Who was selfless and not selfish.
He gave His life for us so that we may live forever with Him.
There is nothing that He won't do for us.
That's who I should be more like,
Like Christ so I can become selfless and stop being so selfish...
This poem is apart of the poetry chapbook "Cordell's Poems of Spiritual Inspiration: Second Edition" which is available as an ebook and paperback.

Inspirational Poem: Heaven


Heaven


Heaven is the place where God dwells,
Let me rephrase that, in the hearts of believers and on the earth is where
God also dwells.
God is The Creator of heaven and hell,
But He created hell for the devil and those demons that rebelled.
They rebelled against God while in heaven as angels,
They are now referred to as demons or fallen angels.
God created hell to punish them,
But God created heaven for you and me my friend.
Heaven is a place with no death, disease, suffering, and pain,
So please trust in Jesus Christ the giver of eternal life
And The Comforter who brings comfort and takes away the pain.
Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven,
Jesus is God and He loves you my brethren.
The devil got kicked out of heaven and is now hell bound,
Please don't listen to Lucifer; he's trying to lead you away
From God and heaven and your heavenly crown.
Works can't get us to heaven,
Faith in Jesus is the way to heaven.
God the Father sent God the Son to die on the cross,
Through Jesus the work is done He died to save the lost.
Jesus rose from the grave to prepare a place for us in heaven,
So I beg of you allow Jesus into your heart and you can have heaven.
God never intended for us (mankind) to die,
Satan hates mankind and is a thief and murderer
This is true and not a lie.
Heaven isn't segregated,
Heaven is fully integrated.
Whatever our skin color or race,
Heaven is a place made for the human race.
Whether we are rich or from the suburbs,
Or whether we are poor or from the ghetto,
Jesus Christ has an open invite to follow
Him to heaven where there are many mansions prepared for those willing
To trust in Him till we leave this earth.
So may I ask, do you want eternal peace and rest
And to be forever blessed?
Then trust in Jesus, Son of God and you can have heaven.
He loves you dearly and He's the way to heaven my brethren.

Sample Poems from my Book!

All I Want Is Peace

Dear Lord Jesus,

All I ever wanted was peace
To be left alone and have peace.

Not just peace and quiet, but everlasting peace.
The kind of peace that only you can offer.

I am sick and tired of people bringing drama around me
All I want Jesus is peace.

But it seems like no matter how hard I try,
Ungodly people bring their drama around me.

Forgive them Father for their transgressions
I just want peace and no more stressing.

All I want to do is grow closer to you,
But it seems like ungodly people want to bring their drama around my way
Being a dark cloud on my sunny day.

Always negative never positive with nothing nice to say
But I pray to you Christ,
That you bring me peace on this day,
The peace that I wanted all my life.



Life Is A Journey

Life is a journey,
It has its ups and downs
Sometimes you feel afloat sometimes you feel you are about to drown.

Sometimes you feel stuck and going nowhere
Other times you feel like resting because you have been everywhere.
People can learn as they grow older
Getting to know Christ can help you become bolder.

He will teach you to fight and stand up for what’s right
Even in darkness He will be your guiding light.
Even when you do wrong, He will teach you how to do right

There are many lessons to be learned
Blessings can be received or given at anytime and don’t always have to be earned.
The truth is what everybody yearns.

Life may bring you trials and tribulations,
But knowing Christ will bring you smiles and jubilations.

Even in a spiritual desert He is the Living Water that’ll quench your thirst
He is forever at work
Ready to carry you through life on a gurney
