Best Expanding Poems


Premium Member An Ever-Expanding Abyss
I smell the coppery scent of stale blood
and the stench of death, excrement, and piss.
A soldier lies dead, his face in the mud;
I never knew that war would look like this.

My mind is numb; I dare not shed a tear.
I can't change reality, so why...

For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth does flow.

So Lord cleanse my heart, from head to toe!



Stir inside me your compassion.

And dress my heart in Godly fashion!



Give me wisdom, more understanding.

Then my heart will be ever expanding!



Yes, from the heart the mouth...

Expanding Negative-Space
expanding negative-space

...from the eye
of an artist's
howling-pen
language-weeps

language-weeps

after-words language-weeps

from the wounds that reason makes;

seep from wounds of omission,
seep from some-deep-super-scary-Sa?sKara,
seep from some gimme-gimballed lurching-duality,

trembling from the loss of blood
lost in the wailing rhythm of suffering,
...
innocent victims like you and me,
lost between infinite-Love and "I'm not worthy",

there where...

Expanding Matter
The meandering Universe or tightly packed with no edges at all
The Universe huge and pulsing enough to give seed to the life forms is packed rock into a ball
The Universe did it know all along about Love?
Hey what is life anyway? Some say they know...

Alone with a thought, in a void of space, 
Alone with colours at night,
Hearing galactic waves of stars, 
Hearing a galactical fight,

With soft booming rolls and a quick happy dance, 
Harmonising like a fairy of fun,
Becoming a groove of bright star happy hot thoughts, 
Bouncing...

My Expanding Friend, Nature
Lightened, standing explosion, looking in. mental wealth may begin. Casual wonder meeting the eye, bright then mellow, sun drop blinding, the eventual rise. Though I know you well, let the journey edge near. The natural prize, will never flinch, these roads leading, can never end.

The World Is Expanding
The world is expanding...
into a great big computer
full of new knowledge and information
new ideas everyday

The world is expanding...
with a lot of new babies
and a lot of new cribs
and a lot of new toys 

The world is expanding...
with different types of food
Mexican, Italian, Chinese
and lots of...

Infinite and Expanding
Infinite and expanding
By Michelle Morris
21/02/2023

Scientists say that the Universe
Is continually expanding
But in order to do this
There has to be something out there
Further than the boundaries of the
Universe as we know and understand it

How do we know that it is not God?
God Who's experience through us
The...

Phoenix Expanding
No grabby
Material axis-
Astounded this fundamental 
Fact of blistering depth-
How meaning wraps inside

Taking hold as you open
A netting to be grazed
By the spirit of nuance

Our fruit grabbing, knee jerk flattered
And upward rejection keeps
Consciousness at its sliver
Like Pavlovian organelles

Somewhere back the atom-split
Nietzschean absurdity left
Our borders bulging
With nothing...

Expanding My Horizons
By the end of August or early September,
I'll be handed a pink slip, to keep my sanity:
I must be a quick thinker to help me see clearer;
many plans scribbled on my lineless pad:
good fortune and willingness are needed on my path,
and wouldn't this be the...

Expanding Universe
Come over here, stand closer to me.
The universe is expanding.
The two of us will fly apart
if you stay right were you're standing....

The Railway Is Expanding
The railway is expanding 
So the government’s demanding 
That anything that’s standing 
In the way must be removed.

Remove the stock brick terraces
Our family homes and premises
For onward comes the nemesis 
Of all we’ve known and loved.

Uprooted oaks and plane trees
Will be replaced by steel gantries
But...

Premium Member Expanding Santa
There was once a fat Santa Claus felt

That his Mrs Claus wanted him svelte

But the wiggle and jelly

That so jiggled his belly

Was the thing made her icicles melt.

The Family Tree
The family tree 
On this day we will plant a tree 
To symbolize the growth of our family
For long ago seeds were planted 
After time you had roots of your own
Root by root you nurtured each one

With a mixture Of support and a sprinkle of...
