Best Amphitheatre Poems

The adoring crowd here at Red Rocks amphitheatre awaits. Tonight, like every night, I will go out there and give them my best. They will show their love by means of applause and whistles. When I am on the stage it's like being on top...

'O dreamy night 
  with wandering eyes
  you could not lie to me;
  deceive the drifts of snow
  with crystal glitter...

Like tender downs in a midnite hour
Not a stirring soul but I in thy amphitheatre
  this white night
  where...

I live amazed in an amphitheatre, 
A huge red and white domed tent.
Working with actors and jesters, 
Enduring a perpetual torment.

The crazies I know are the clowns,
Red nose and a big head of hair.
And the gym junkies, they’re the strongmen, 
Wrestling each day with a...

Sit-upons that we wove together.
The troop activity. How many spots
will remember me?

The wicker basket and picnic blanket
woven into the amphitheatre. We,
my hubby and I,
cozied up, listened to Amy Grant.

My towel, with the Caribbean islands,
sinking in the warm sand, waiting
for my salt-sea body to rest.

My familiar...

My park to me was not see-saws nor swings
instead, a treasure chest of stranger things.
A marble grave, 1891, well kept
where 'Tiny', estate owner's dog now slept.
The long gone Manor House front Portico
and where the star struck teenage lovers go
holds carvings, some initials, from the past
though...

Portree

Portree the tiny Capital of Skye
A special place for you and me
We purchased our rings
That would join us together
But no idea had I
Of your intentions that day
As we walked
Admiring the beauty of Portree
You were planning
A wonderful surprise
We arrived at ‘The Lump’
With its amphitheatre
And stunning views
Getting...

I want to tell you of my second Love,
Of a churchs' impact from heaven above!
I'd grown up in such a small church.
Yet small groups can make for gossip, and worse.

Not so with Shiloh; it was heaven on earth...!
This icon of community flair was "golden mirth."
'Cause...

Who loves those days when the sun is hazed 
and the seas unruffled with its mirrored glaze
showing every ripple and fish that moves 
in the currents stream swept surface ooze.
 
And the tide on the beach treads soft and slow 
leaving hardly a footprint as...

"When I stand with this silence
between us all, we are still never here --
and then I move and your whole world
shifts, and there you are.  We were."
                 ...

A sudden feeling propelled me to go down to Ellanor C. Lawrence Park
and walk on top of the old colonial Spring house  wall 
I have been to that place before and walked  back and forth on the wall 
but I  still don't...

Out in the heat of the desert
A ride to God knows where ! 
A ruined roman amphitheatre
A cave of ancient brown bears !

Treasures in a moonlight chest
Gold and ruby pearls
How did a pirates hoard so rich
End up in the desert air

Three steps from the pillar
50...

I look upon Lady Grasmere, from atop Dunmail Raise,
as she lies in her amphitheatre of beauty unsurpassed,
mere language cannot express words powerful enough to praise,
to describe such a vision,such a total sensory blast.
This bejewelled goddess of Mother Nature's glory,
laid out before me on a bed...

Necessity is...

Archimedes sat at the table with his wife
a contemplative look in his eye
slowly eating Psomi and grapes
until finally he said:

"What would you like to do today dearest?"
"Would you like to go to the sea and bathe?"

"Perhaps", she said, ... "later".

"Would you care to walk...

Nothing happens in the place of forever, just
The vagaries of the universe with no orderly manners.
Let me pause - and I will exist no longer, as much as 
Insanity does without the tools of torment and pain.
At the feet of a Demiurge and his phalanx...

Mind Scape

Images stir within the mind 
Apparitions surreal 
Subconscious amphitheatre 
Abyssal concealed

Transcending revelations 
Quantum evaluations 
Subliminal relations
External implications...
