Best Blue Ribbon(A) Poems

Looking back at the Earth, I can't really describe how beautiful it is from 300 miles up. Looking down, you can tell it's a planet. The sky is black. There's just a thin blue ribbon, what we see as blue sky on Earth. You realize...

Enter
in a hue
pulled from a rainbow
the blue roan 
in a garland of blue roses
setting a tone
for the sky alone to compete

It's time again to judge this year's pies
What a variety right before my eyes
The color, the flavor and just how sweet
I must decide which one to beat
I taste one, taste two, three and four
Just when I'm done they bring me more
All of these pies are...

Got pabst blue ribbon
for american rhythm 
and now presenting 
some sophistication;

stay clear i'm pissing

It’s not just a globe…

The atmosphere’s wonder is held within a deep creation,
   with natural lands made out of nickel, iron and clay,
      a sphere with beaming skies and the dry...

From the vast outer space, I watch 
Milky Way  touching galaxy's tips
so luminous like blazed fingers of light
while a tiny blue ribbon of my world drifts 
upon a celestial frame. Below, a microcosm 
my world spins... dark  and effervescent,
as if a tableau flings...

I didn't take my umbrella, assuming
the weather wouldn't respond with a whiplash,
and on coarse sand I trudge, not thinking
of a cloudburst to induce fear and suddenly bash.


My grip on this balloon string has the strength of a cord,
in case those clouds belch and belie...

A stripe of blue in an ocean of black 
Three hundred miles below 
At the still time before a thunderstorm
There lies the dazzling beauty
A miniscule of infinity in a blue ribbon glistening in night sky 
On the black crescent earth
Dumb, we feel dumb, in the...

seamless gravitas 
       buoyant in its thin repose-  
                symbiotic bliss
every breath gleans earth’s release  
      manna...

Blue ribbon cuts through land
Trees mirrored in its depths
Silver white branches.

Just a thin blue ribbon 
Ironically I 
See it different reaching 
Up to thee 
Just a thin blue ribbon 
Life as it is in balance 
Earth its full stage 
Sage 
I am caught up 
In the gleaming 
Of its eyes
Looking back
I have cried 
Just a...
