Altitude Poems

Billy Goat

There is an old goat named Billy
who finds the altitude chilly
and with insufficient grippage
to prevent downhill slippage
may fall off the mountain but will he?

Altitude

What can the light give us?

The faith to start

The courage to impart

The clarity to define

The energy to realign

The power to discover

The wisdom to uncover

The vision to seek

The strength to keep

The curiosity to inspect

The culpability to resurrect

The discretion to know

The motivation to grow

The passion to reveal

The permission to heal

What can the light give us?

Infinite altitude

Altitude Wordplay

climbers woo the clouds,
sky draws nigh, the mountain sighs,
view conquered, high coup

Altitude

Miles are between us,
still you can’t stop chattering;
Life is such a high
caught in this cumulus drift;
Altitude I can breathe in.

Microlight

Microlight


When they appeared, we were like, “What …the?” motorcycles
dangling from multi-coloured wings, animated comic book scene
blond wisps racing at leisure in deliberate mid-morning breeze
rainbow spectrum gone haywire, in the azure June sky
they were flaunting metallics, Kariba breams in fish eagle talons.

They hovered above, the whole school was set in a frenzy
nerds set books aside, watched

Attitude Counts

To be good at what you do
you must have the wright attitude
If you put the effort in
you will go to the wright altitude

To have the skills for you to improve
you do the training that helps you move
It’s your mates who will take you afar
to show you the gate to make you a star

Walloping Mountain

Bated breath stills Arctic style cruelty
        Clustered lichen mapped boulders crouch 
        Exhale cackles an altitudinous eulogy 
        Mountain leer leans with tortured slouch

        Tested foliage tentatively

Ascent of Faith-Altitude

Almighty God, the supreme Father above
assures me, through Scriptures’ precepts, His divine affection
affirming His marvelous vibrant love’s abundance
always at work to grant pardon absolutely
and assuage my guilt-caused anguish*
as I confess my iniquities, spiritually atrocious…
along my heart’s repentant acquiescence.

Asserting  His grace, at all times amazing
Author of my faith awakens me against arrogance-attack
accommodating me around His

Its Attitude Stupid Not Altitude

It’s Attitude Stupid, Not Altitude

Altitude is how high you fly,
Attitude is your mindset upon returning.

The attitude of one highbrow,
Has the ability to cause chaos for the throngs.

To experience meaningful change,
Attitudes must become part the new paradigm.

Altitude

Bathing in all these rays of sunshine.
Basking in light of a blue sky.

Mind's Altitude

life is grand and beautiful
its feast lush and bountiful
the sun offers its caress
why be fearful of success



"Fear is a slinking cat I find beneath the lilacs of my mind." - Sophie Tunnell

Christmas Altitude

Happy childhood flight down the stairs for kids,
smiles a mile wide
Looking for toy surprises ... 
youthful spirits soaring sky high
Joyous laughter with each gift unwrapped
Parent Santas open the door
for a sleigh runway
Flying feet on a brand new bicycle,
reaching the proper Christmas altitude
Landing gear wheels spinning
on a motion vertical
Rubber stop from the new kick heels
Christmas sonic

Canada Geese Making Altitude

Like a mess of hooting school kids freed for vacation,
They come honking and scolding

Long before you see them they come honking and scolding

Hidden from sight by leafy trees,
They are loudly scolding, urging, bragging,
“Get flapping”. “My turn to lead.” “Your turn to lead. “Let Fergus lead,”
I imagine. 

When at last overhead I can see them and
