Best Cubit Poems

Past unconcerned hens that distractedly 
Scratch
Under frowning protestations from the
Sheltered Lee;
Into the cloaked shadows lain across the 
Cobbled courtyard,
Behind which squats the twisted form of
The old brooding, arthritic apple tree.
Past the neat little cow-byre 
Hosed and fastidiously scrubbed out twice 
A day 
With a fine...

Noah you must build a vessel 300 cubits long, 50 wide, 30 high and it must be strong
It must carry a roof three stories high, finished to a cubit upward with entrance on the long. 

Use only Gopher wood that is smeared both inside and...

In his private parlor the king of Moab rests,
Having just retired from his more spacious quarters,
Where King Eglon had received the Israelite guests,
Bearing tribute, not a gift, but by the king’s orders.

Israel’s cries to God, about their being bereft,
Brought about the sending of a rescuer...

(Part One) The first few hours.
I was just a ordinary man
caught up in the unruly throng,
The mob jeering and ranting
insults on the road along,
I pushed and shoved my way
through all the furore
to see what all the fuss and melee
was all about at the fore.

My heart...

So it was that the night transcended peacefully over my head
Taking me through thick clouds,landing me upon parched land
Spilling  tranquil moments into daylight complexity.
So it was that I found myself among a crowd of unfamiliar people
People who I have perhaps seen in the city...

Great stature, 
enormous strength; 
huge, colossal
the way my heart exploded 
so many different ways to express it
Does anyone hear the sound a heart 
Makes when it breaks
Even continents away
Did she hear it?
The only one that mattered
It seemed like four days ago
We were so in love...

Nile spreads through the valley like a snake
Pyramids look awesome in rays of sun about to wake
Pyramids are strong constructions can even take small earthquake
They are made of limestone granite or bricks that in sun would bake

It is a grand ancient tomb
But for pharaohs’ soul...

I am stuck in this zombie’s land
Where bubbles squirt out of plastic ships
Depressed fish swirling around themselves
Opening their mouths so they can breathe

I am stuck in this void grave yard
Where the pink sea shell opens his big mouth
To show off his fake glittery pearl 
When...

Celebrate humility with the agility and amiability
Ensconced in the sublime civility facility in salvation city
As God grants you nobility, versatility and mobility

To scale hallowed heights
To absorb the simplicity and centrality of sumptuous sights
Devoid of pesky plights and feeble fights

When your own efforts at bolstering and...

Voltaire just Kant angle cut it
Beauvoir broad side view
abut the narrow Rousseau 
gender Thoreau thought causeway
As Sarte Marx the entrance unlit — 
Avicena chapiters atop da Vinci pillars,
Stuart Mill sturdily sit
Arendt spiral steps turn Spinoza
down to the Alighieri depths
Socrates ambience got a Dewey dungeon
decimal Fodio...

there's more hear

than an eye can see

" Dear God, it's talking IT! "

Nine tail feathers

I found in a comb...

so I added them back

to my wings of gold

and then Dear God,

" what a story THAT told!"

Midway through the tale I saw

smoking mirrors

and a Lion with claws

Wealthy he was, but not healthy
Hundred of wives he had in his days
One thousand concubines he chased
Diamond and gold he bought to himself
To his wives, kids, and friends he bought jewelries 
Of all time cars and mansions he purchased
All these he had except but two...

Words are spoken by me and out of my mouth, 
Heard by my own ears to grab the information I seek, 
Seen through my feelings and emotions by my eyes, decisions
Are made by myself looking at their strengths and truth they have, 
I got no...

Many a pompous decide
Many an empire of pride
Aplenty of craniums be high
And beheld among the sky
What a cubit lengthen tall!
What a tremor will pride fall!
Fall and fall to rise no more.

Many a pillar is built
Beholding the priding guilt
Meekness they tell thee farewell,
In pride a fair...

" ... full blast ...."

357 is a great tale to tell...
Tesla saw the steps
so invented his call

And then in the silence 
of Olympian ground

"...I heard you rang?..."
Said d;Meter to them all....

"A cosmic gun" was just for fun
But He's challenged a.dove
To find her way home.

so here...
