Best Copper Poems
Beneath the Copper TreesEnhanced by peaceful solitude, in twilight, crimson crowned
She stood in tensile grace, unmoved. Enchantment in disguise
Lightly splashed by back light, where the tender grass had grown
A white tailed doe, was grazing there, aware and keen of eye
She perked up ears, alert for sound, yet,...

Among the Copper TreesEnhanced by peaceful solitude, in twilight, crimson crowned
There, in tensile grace she stood, enchantment in disguise
Lightly splashed in backlight, where the tender grass had grown
A monumental moment, as she stood before my eyes
First stabbed by startled fear, new trust came pouring down
There, in tensile grace...

Copper and OrangeAs darkness descends.
Tranquil as time flows past.
With this precious rest.
Led out on the grass.
Sleepless slumber in dreamlike clarity.
Summer thunder above a scenic prairie.
Seeing the butterflies colours vary.
As they flutter by with the lullaby fairies.
Therapeutic beauty in cloudless horizons.
Mountains fade as red skies...

My Copper SunSitting here not wanting to run
from eyes that shine like a copper sun.
All that you say and do seems right
Your happiness- it shines so bright.
You can feel it as do I.
Just as an ocean’s waves,
how we feel can only...

Copper PennyA COPPER PENNY
The significance of a copper penny…
It’s part of our heritage
Being raised in the copper mining area
Of Ruth, Nevada
Fathers and brothers worked for
The Kennecott Copper Mining Corporation
Both abhorred and sacrificed for
It was a job
The dirt was copper colored
There was no gazebo
No water
No arboretum
The only...

CopperWas there more between us,... than luck?
How long were you buried, in your shallow grave beneath the oak?
And just when I needed to know the secret of hope,
you whispered out good fortune with your burnished breath.
How long were you buried in your shallow grave beneath...

Worthless CopperPennies are made of worthless copper that even a hungry beggar
refuses to pick up; either I threw them away or kept them in a piggy jar,
but the day came when need and desperation made me rethink
of their worth...a thousands of them could had gotten me...

An Old Copper Vase - a First ViewAn Old Copper Vase – A First View
a rustic object
with
a worn-weathered look
symbolizing
both
an artistic beauty
and
a metaphorical grandeur
when filled
with a few
red or yellow roses
it resonates
a certain emotion
and
it presents
and
it paints
an indelible
image and memory
that
cannot be forgotten
this is made
all the more
compelling
by
its rough-rustic nature
and
its physical view
from afar
which is
at once—
defining...

Copper RosesLove is fake and hate is real, some people say,
And I know why they feel and see it this way.
Hate is base, more available, and far more accessible
Easily expressible, you can hardly fail be successful.
Love is just a little further, a bit more extreme;
It...

Copper LeavesLayer upon layer of copper leaves,
Lay here, and all around.
As the birch tree lost it's canopy,
And carpeted the ground.
Beneath my feet, some ankle deep
Some falling through the air.
Autumn's gusts gathered strength,
And spread them, everywhere.

The Copper HouseStill, on a bench, watching eyes inquired
To the heights of Brakeman’s Hill
That on its rounded peak
Poised a bright copper house
And held the company
Of a strong oak tree
It bore a twisted truck
And roots of valiant display
The fallen leaves made swollen stumps
As squirrels...
