Paradise Poems
A Paradise Turns Hell (Haiku) - 04

A girl denied new frock-
The old one is old and torn.
A paradise turns into Hell.

A kid asks for more-
Just a loaf could not quench hunger.
A paradise turns into Hell.
Paradise
by Thomas Peyton
O Paradise, that first our parents stai'd,
Vntiil such time God's will they disobay'd,
How far my pen doth of thy worth come vnder,
Mirrour of earth, of all the world the wonder !
Where sacred Thetis from her louely lap
Hath power'd her treasures, much inrich't thy hap,
With Euphrates and Tigris hath combin'd,
Their source diuided in foure parts, to winde

Take me to heaven or Eden's garden
by Joseph Ogbonna
Take me to the crystal rivers that flow
with calm pristine diamond torrents that glow.
Take me to where all seasonless yields grow
from the effortless hands of men who sow.
Take me to lands of neither high nor low,
where equality reigns with none below.
I see meadows lush that men do not mow.
I see people who do not toil for dough,
with minds innocent, and without a foe,
beaming with smiles radiant that overflow.

It was indeed an odyssey of excruciating
pain, reluctantly embarked upon
that led to an abrupt farewell
that got you ferried in splendour
by His majesty's service 'HMS Life Eternal'
by your guardian angels maneuvered
on her maiden voyage.
Congratulations for your newfound bliss and
world of non-existent tears.
You have meritoriously earned the Saviour's

Value of Paradise
by Precious Whispers
She lifted up my head
and said to me:
''My dear, if this world was without problems,
wouldn't paradise lose its value?''
