Best Giant Poems

Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow 
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams 
of sweet benign!
All was stilled, all was hushed,
Save vast reed beds sided by the
Shallow hills...

WHO IS THE GIANT OF THEM ALL

Animals or humans, who is the giant of them all?
Bearing a two sheathed wings, the Hercules Beetles
crash the Titans (beetle)  growing more than six inches.
Down the dirty waterways of China is the Mekong catfish
extending at ten feet, tummy-filled...

A towering inferno loses
a cluster of flames once held dear.

GIANT CUPCAKE

With raisins, nuts and cinnamon
Quite moist all through
Not the usual 3-minute egg on toast
Oh no!     I’m taking a chance on something new

Just a crack of dawn
Splotches through the trees
And with smoking black coffee
This special morning promises to please

Mondays, like any...

The giant sea turtle saved the day by being the ride for many.
He rescued a pelican, a cat, a penguin and a dog named Penny.
Their ship went down, and they were at the mercy of the waves.
If not for turtle, they would all be in...

He stood before me, giant, brown and hairy,
this animal the biggest of them all!
I didn’t find him all that very scary
though next to me, he stood three times as tall! 

My father stood beside me with a look
of deep concern while holding high his gun.

Summer rain, melting Arctics
and the lipids lining the nerves
in your brain. These are the metrics
of our times. Mere resolve

is not enough to take care
along the highway—you need wheels and prayer.
When you realize there’s no there there
that’s a scary day. End there.

August, the extinction is terrifying.
Quiet,...

It stands alone
in a field of loneliness and neglect
the bright red paint has faded into a murky brown
a strict reminder from mother natures pounding fury through the years
once housing a families treasures
now only stores their forgotten tears

The door hangs lazily from its missing bolts
its hinges...

Please, Sleeping Giant, wake unto these loving eyes;
I hunger for your touch as you rest in peaceful slumber.
Longing for such love might well certain my demise;
denying heart’s desire, rather, brings incessant wonder.

I gently stroke each tender brow and press my cheek to yours.
The warmth of...

A friend told me that while on vacation she visited the world’s largest ball of string. It inspired me to write this poem. 

A giant ball of string

It sat out in an open field
It was the strangest thing
An orb the size of who knows what
A...

The water in my glass trembles 
as my giant marches near.
It comes to me without much warning…
just suddenly appears.
The air becomes too thick, 
like trying to breathe in mud.
My heart speeds up so fast…
a continuous, pounding THUD!
Then I know my giant is racing
 to catch...

The sleeping giant stirred
Turned over on one side
The world was engulfed 
By an abnormally high tide.

Tectonic plates quivered
The whole world gave a shake
Before finally settling back 
With just a few minor quakes.

Now totally relaxed
The sleeping giant sleeps on
And until he next stirs
The state of peril...

I didn't really mean,
To do what I have done,
I trod on a dinosaur's tail 
And now I'm on the run.

He's about forty feet long
And he's breathing down my neck,
My heart is purely throbbing
And my nerves are all a wreck.

He's just about on top of me
His...
