Joseph J. Breunig 3rd's Blog – July 2012 Archive (8)

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. One never knows exactly when the Spirit of God will move on your soul; fortunately I was paying a little bit of attention, one cold winter night...

I've been a member of the IT (Information Technology) community since June of 1981, a profession that constantly tries to turn you into a slave from an employee. Rarely did I…

Wellspring of spiritual water,

It's bubbling inside me.

Gently soothes my bruised soul -

Covering Life's pain of mystery.



Unseen surging river,

Courses through body mortal -

Renewing my energy,

Forced through this open portal.



Full to overflowing,

Come stand next to me,

Let the excess splash on you -

To prime your own jubilee.



This internal source,

Never shall run dry;

For Hope springs eternal,

Keeping this flood in…

Experiencing God directly, is the way to go –

Be submerged in His Spirit, under His heavenly flow.

The lighted path to absolute freedom and peace

is accomplished from following Jehovah’s method of release.

The keys to Life’s issues are written in The Word;

open up your soul so the message can be heard.

God’s plan for your life will be ultimately revealed,

provided to Him you submit and your life you yield.

Demonstrate unwavering faith and be His…

Please forgive the simplicity of rhyme,

for I wish to be clear and take my time.



It’s never been “pc” to be Christian in any century,

out of step with the World, in what ones does or sees.



Having ideals may make me seem pompous,

even though I have no desire to impress.



I’m attempting to follow a Heavenly Plan,

by being a godly steward and serving fellow Man.



What I write from the heart, for me is real;

although as a guy, I’m not…

Breaching the surface

largemouth jumps up to see if…

It can hold its breath.





The pregnant fishes

lounge upon the riverbed

waiting to give birth.





Dancing smallmouth bass

pirouettes around boat

looking for handouts.





Learning never ends!

For even the fish will stay…

Forever in school.





Protective coating:

Slimy perspective to us;

Life saving to them.

-Joe Breunig,…

Hasta la pasta?

Annoying filament knots

of spaghetti spools.





The squeals of delight

flow from all fishing children

with uncontained joy.





Sounds of spinning spools

always brings me much comfort,

for I’m not at work.





Floating down the stream?

Not a dream, after dropping…

A bag of bobbers.





In early morning

anxious fish are awaiting

the autumn school bells.

-Joe…

Lures, flies and spinners

provide variety for

multiple techniques.





Casting carefree lines

the sportsmen and women look…

For fishy hook-ups.





Moonlight over pines –

Adds a touch of elegance

to nighttime fishing.





Daytime sea trollers

combine leisure travel

and hands-free fishing.





The ignorant fish –

Unaware of keepers of…

Life’s aquarium.

-Joe Breunig,…

Cool flowing waters

cater me with plenty of…

Aquatic playmates.



Smallmouth and largemouth –

Either kind acceptable,

if they are landed.



Get them in the boat!

Fishing stories without proof

are just plain-faced lies.



Imitating bugs?

Fishing is an art form of…

Posing as insects.



The splashing fishes

are vying for attention

during school’s recess.

-Joe Breunig, author/poet
