Best Grandly Poems

On the Horizon

My limbs and leaves are trembling
My green days of shade and blue shadow near gone,
For on the near horizon lies
The first cold flail of fall.

To compensate, my Maker made 
My edges to wondrously curl and color
Dipping and spiraling as butterflies,
‘Ere I am browned...

It stood on the top of the hill
dominating all of its surrounds.
Its drawbridge these days lay open
spanning with ease the now dry moat.
Like a fairy tale fortress it had turrets
that soared up high brushing the clouds.

Its four towers majestic as blankly,
they stared, covering all points...

Stars fall under failing skies...stars fall...stars fall...
But stars do not cry.
Into Ochs valley, through the Vale of White Horse...prancing 
besides a Dragons Hill;
It was here that a Roundhead - did a Royalist Cavaliers blood in 
Oxons streets so spill!
Where Great Alfred strove to drive out...

One day there will be a harvest like no other we’ve ever seen,
The day God harvests His people and casts out those that are unclean.
Only those that are fruitful and have fed on His word,
And drank from His living waters will have the right to...

Oh baneful yellow Moon in fullest rounded sphere,
Bright as Summers Buttercups in abundant yield,
Coldly riveted upon Winters beaten, thin silvered panels;
Thereof: By ye mighty hammer doth great thoth wield!

For what fearful trowel gouged out thine far flung valleys
Whilst piling high upon yon monstrous heights?
Wherest, scattering...

Mother Nature, Athena and Mother Earth
Apply wisdom and beauty to life
they're icons whose bounty has infinite worth
offering sustenance throughout strife

Mother Mary grants us mercy and love 
Our flag; long may she wave
Venus, the love god, shines above
Amazon women; so strong and brave

Accolades for such women...

The rib of Eve is fashion's price
A sadistic trap of six-inch heels
Some masochist's torture device

Or for added bust appeal
To wrap the torso so austere
And lift upon bands of steel

The French grandly name the brassiere
Paris, an exacting Madame
Wielding her whip of sharp cashmere

No slouching, suck in...

Praise the Ruler of nations!
God is mightier than anybody:
they try to defeat His army,
but can they win against angels?

Even Jesus, the shining sun,
defied death and amazed many: 
the massive stone rolled away...
He was no longer mocked by men!

Praise the Ruler of nations!
Proclaim His name from...

Amidst great ocean of life --- voyaging
I’m blest with the Lord’s granted fellowship
partnership-bliss in faithful stewardship…
Captain is Christ by His love’s engaging.

Along life's trip, I've learned Bible ships’ facts
attesting the Creator’s supreme hand
working by His omnipotent command
assuring sweet peace from evil attacks.

With God’s sovereign design,...

You gifted me a sunny day,
as rains poured from opaque sky gray,
I made to you a fervent plea,
a sunny day you gifted me.

The bright day held my forlorn hand,
took me to an emerald land.
My despair sunburst sky dispelled,
my forlorn hand the bright day held.

The full...

The world that once was slumbering
Beneath the quilt of Winter's snow
Is now set free to gladly see
The rays of golden sunlight

He peeks at first so shyly through
The drifting clouds of leaden grey
And then, behold his beams of gold!
A kiss of gentle sunshine

The trees are budding,...

Possessing distinct culture she shares with neighbors;
Her heritage nurtured thru virtues lived...

Peace surrounds me on this day in May
as I let destiny have it's own way
I smile down on whom I am 
made grandly by all my yesterdays

I will live again and
all my hopes and dreams shall not shatter
I am destiny's lost prodigal child, 
May has...

He glides 
his skates swishing 
in a flurry of ice, 
caressing with slow movements; mere 
foreplay. 

Silence 
compels the crowd 
disguises excitement
Great expectations fill the air.
All watch. 

He stops 
at center ring. 
Ice gladiator all set 
to make a kill gently, with grace. 
Grandly. 

Then...
