Best Altitude Poems

Glittering diamond summit,was only one day away.
Genetic characteristics,now coming to the fray.
Evaluating patience and a knack for fearing fear.
Drive ice-screw into crevice with the summit drawing near.

Speculative Winter sun,in a mortuary of blue.
Everest conquered only,by the very chosen few.
Snarling pit-bull winds with oxygen levels low.
Bar-headed...

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,”

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

Lofty altitudes

Lift away my earth grown mood

Feathers grow new fluff

As hearts' idyllic feel soars

Through blue skies' serene caress

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....

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...

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

It’s Attitude Stupid, Not Altitude
1/30/2018
Tom

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.

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...

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