Best Arc Poems

Travelling through life resembles an arc
We start out as a child emerging from the dark
To reach a crescendo
Establishing a tempo
Then sadly we all must eventually disembark

stelliferous arcs, 
of chiffon-sewn cosmic chains
and rose-glazed silk yarns...
a tapestry of crystal ~
love-tendrils on eden's heart......

The Medieval era
was filled with wars and strife
between the French and English
at cost of limb and life.

The French became disheartened;
their victories were rare,
a humbling situation
which was too hard to bear.

A peasant girl heard voices 
and visions she could see.
A maid who had a mission,
young Joan...

Joan of Arc – For God and Country

On the feast of the Three Kings was born,
a baby girl, in 1412, under the sign of Capricorn. 
Destined to accomplish great deeds and achieve fame,
Joan d’Arc was her auspicious name.
A religious and political scapegoat,
her short life to...

Joan of Arc

HE speaks, and messengers appear
To innocence of one so young in year
The calling understood, she will not flee
Till France is free of English tyranny 

The struggle long, a hundred years or more
An army tired, sapped of strength by war
She steps into the fray,...

An Arc to Heaven

Peace flows over my body
     In calming, cooling waves.
Your words carry me to shore
     Exciting, igniting my spirit
With sweet revelations of love.
     My lonely heart blossoms 
Slowly as dew drops...

 Token

 memories 
from stranger eyes
than the ones who see you now
tip your hat and take a bow.
you have fooled the greater masses
with your cape and opera glasses,
I ,

know your name,
and the source of all your fame
Great Magician,
hocus pocus,

A wondrous arc, I beheld

Perfection in its form,

From what hand, or artists brush

Was such beauty born.

The teachers tell us what it is,

Just raindrops and refraction.

But my romantic heart,

Sees heavenly interaction.

I am you 
the splitting of two 
we shall eat our rage in small doses
now you are me 
in the mirror there’s three
three caskets covered in roses...

The downfall of Joan if arc

After the battle at Orleans 
Where Joan dressed in white armour
riding a white horse, took the town.
Making  the Anglo-Burgundians
flee across the Loire River. 

Joan's reputation gained ground
She and her followers escorted Charles 
to Reims enabling Charles to be crowned
Charles...

I used to live in France, near the Champagne region.
My favorite Notre Dame cathedral is not the one in Paris;
Rather it is Notre Dame de Rheims.

After many battles, Jeanne D'Arc helped the Dauphin Charles
Be crowned the king of France there.

There are many statues in France...

Joan of Arc would never bark
A command out on a lark
But would save the day
In a saintly way
Forever leaving her mark...

The Cross-dressing of Joan d`Arc

Cross-dressing of Joan was perhaps heavily based,
On the bible’s principle in Deuteronomy 22:5 and viewed 
as a Rebellion against God. 
Tis not the putting on of a pair of pants or slacks today, 
But the attempt to deceive who one really...
