The sonnet portrays Marxists as agents of a demonic ideology, threading their influence through government to erase Jesus and the Bible from public life. They scorn His Word, replacing it with a cold, godless creed, and seek to silence His praise. Yet, Christ’s throne rises undeterred, shattering their schemes. Drawing from Philippians 2:10-11—“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow… and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord”—the poem climaxes with all foes floored in terror, every knee bowing, and every tongue confessing Him as King and Lord, ensuring Marxism’s eternal defeat by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Marxists weave their shadowed, crimson thread,
Through halls of power, cold and sternly wrought,
To banish Jesus, crowned in thorns and red,
His holy Word from public square they’ve sought.

The Bible’s pages, rich with truth divine,
They’d cast aside like leaves in autumn’s gust,
Replacing grace with doctrines serpentine,
A godless creed of steel and brittle dust.

Our precious Lord, once hailed on freedom’s stone,
Now veiled by hands that scorn His tender call,
They’d silence hymns with bureaucratic drone,
And bid the cross from every eye to fall.

Christ’s throne ascends, all foes in terror floored,
And confess Him King and Lord!

A Royal Garment of Sonnet’s Lines Sewn With the Holy Spirit’s Thread and Free Verse’s Living Waters Drawn From His Well to Honor Christ Our Head by Debbie Harris

The sonnet, “A Royal Garment of Sonnet’s Lines Sewn With the Holy Spirit’s Thread and Free Verse’s Living Waters Drawn From His Well to Honor Christ Our Head”, explores the dance between sonnet and free verse, both glorifying Christ. The first eight lines paint the sonnet as a “crown of measured rhyme”—a structured, kingly form where discipline crafts a “court of sound,” yet bends with freedom, like a throne for Jesus with His thorns, each rhyme a prayer. The last six shift to free verse, a “stream in quiet peace”—unbound, flowing with the Spirit’s gentle call, lifting to Christ without rigid walls. It ends tying both together: sonnets reign with royal art, free verse breathes grace—two paths, one heart, all for God’s glory.


The sonnet weaves a crown of measured rhyme,
Each line a jewel, cut to fit its frame,
A dance of feet in lockstep with old time,
Where discipline and grace exalt a name.
Its walls hold tight, a kingly court of sound,
Yet freedom hides in how the heart can bend,
A throne where Christ might sit, with thorns around,
And every turn a prayer that seeks no end.

But free verse flows like streams in quiet peace,
No rigid form to bind its gentle call,
A voice set loose, where Spirit finds release,
It lifts to Christ, unboxed, yet standing tall.
So sonnets reign with order’s royal art,
Free verse lends voice to crown the Lord’s heart.

Not Willing That Any Should Perish by Debbie Harris

The poem portrays God’s deep patience and mercy, emphasizing His desire for all people to avoid destruction and embrace repentance. Rather than hastening judgment, He offers a loving invitation to turn from darkness and sin, providing a path to redemption. The sonnet highlights His forbearance—delaying wrath out of care—and His ultimate hope that every soul finds peace and life through grace.

The heart of God, in patience vast and deep,
Desires no soul to wander lost in night,
But calls each one from shadows grim to weep,
And turn to mercy’s ever-glowing light.
His will, a shepherd’s love that seeks to save,
Delays the storm that justice might demand,
Forbearing wrath, He stretches out to pave
A path where trembling feet may safely stand.
No haste to judge, no eagerness to slay,
He yearns for hearts to bend beneath His grace,
To cast the chains of sin and pride away,
And seek the peace that shines upon His face.
So wide His wish, so boundless is His care,
That all might live, repentant, in His air.

In Jesus Christ Alone, We Rise by Debbie Harris

In mirrored halls, we chase a fragile gleam,
A shadowed self, esteem we build with care,
Yet sands of pride dissolve beneath the stream,
A mirage born of dust, a hollow stare.
The world exalts the ego’s brittle throne,
A crown of glass, by fleeting praise adorned,
But winds of doubt soon shatter what’s our own,
And leave the soul in silence, lost, forlorn.

Yet Christ extends a gaze that never fades,
A worth unearned, by grace divinely sown,
No shifting tides, no crumbling masquerades,
His love alone can call the heart His own.
Through Him, we stand, no need to prove or strive,
In boundless esteem, we’re fully made alive.

Gems Of A Redeemed Voice by Debbie Hattis

The words of Christ’s own poet, pure and bright,
Outshine the ruby’s fire with sacred gleam,
Each verse a sapphire, deep with holy light,
A stream of grace that flows from mercy’s theme.
Like emeralds green with life, they bloom anew,
Reflecting Eden’s hope in every line,
Their amethystine hue, a royal view,
Reveals the Savior’s heart in tones divine.

No diamond cuts so keen as truth they bear,
Nor topaz glows with such eternal flame,
These jeweled praises, wrought in fervent prayer,
Adorn the King’s own throne with Christ’s great name.
So fall these gems from lips redeemed and free,
A treasury of love for all to see.

When True Biblically Sourced Beauty Ceases To Exist, The Definition Of Beauty Becomes A Marred Metaphoric Tragedy And Travesty For A Nation, Individual, Or Society Who Has Turned Their Back On Our Triune God Who Is Abounding With Excellence, Salvation, Beauty,Light, And Love by Debbie Harris

When true Biblically sourced beauty tragically ceases to exist

in nations, individuals, and societies, know this, that nation, individual,

or society has tragically turned its back on our living, beauty-filled, Holy

Triune God. A profane, blasphemous, and unholy Art becomes a tragedy

and travesty, a metaphor for a nation, individual, and society who has turned

their back on our Triune God who is abounding with Salvation, excellence,

beauty, light, and love! For the glorious divine signature of our Triune God is

new creature restoration, Holiness, transformation, and order! True

recognizable, authentic, verifiable, unquestionable, Biblically aesthetic,

artistic, exquisite, proven Holy, Christ-honoring beauty always points hearts,

minds, and lives to God and edifies the soul with beauty, order, and design!
