Best Land On Your Feet Poems

My heart yearns not for the mountain-way
  With its green of grass and tree;
My heart calls out for the ocean spray
   And the sound of the surf-roiling free!

Give me a land with its feet in the sea,
   Its low-swelling shoulders...

A DINNER INVESTMENT (for Eve)

My husband Chris Adams loves to wine and dine my needs
In the most expensive places, one can eat.

Arriving in LIMO style
A humble waiter greets
After I viewed the menu I replied, 
"Hun I am ready to order."
A T-bone steak -- fully cook...

One day I started climbing; 
without question I climbed. 
Until finally I had reached the peak of Mt. Everest.
I wanted to beat my breastbone 
yell like Tarzan King of the Apes. 

But...
 I saw a tree. 
IT!
was the highest peak. 

I climbed. 

“Ta da"!

But...
there was...

Dug deep down inside
and pulled out the memory file
about being a child
with my family for
a rare outing at Jones Beach,
we were all there with
my Moms picnic basket,
just in case we got hungry,
we'd eat one of her special treats,
My Mom didn't like the water
and especially the...

Raisin liked to make her bed upon a shelf up high
She said she likes the feeling that she’s almost in the sky
One day she fell and bonked her head and Rum could only stare
And wondered why a cat would land with four feet in the...

The cold rain of fall
Will come to an end
After depressing us all,
As leaves start to bend
When snowflakes, heaven does send.

The first tentative flakes
Land gently and sweet.
Our breath, this sight takes,
As they land at our feet.
We raise our eyes, the sky to meet.

Within minutes the ground
Becomes...

Two little kittens; he’s Rum and she’s Raisin
Lived in a house near the zoo.
Rum asked his friend, “Would it not be amazing
to go catch a mouse or a shrew?”

Raisin said, “Rum, we should not be so meek
for we can do better than that.
Something with fangs...

At times I feel like a white horse,
and as beautiful as the sea,too.
So powerful and strong!
Knowing nothing can go wrong.
Being sure above all...to never follow 
the throng.

God above, his land under my feet, 
and dedicated to singing!
My own truth and my song each glorious day......

We briefly meet the Mandan Chief Big White
in the village center where the animals are sacraficed,
couples wed, and disputes are dealt with,
he is a massive, and portly man
and is wearing a headdress that spreads to the floor
with black tipped eagle feathers, gold encrusted eagle heads...

Some kind of Boccaccio 
they open The Book, 
borrowing thoughts 
and stories from muses,
for it is a tome 
in its entirety,

each muse, a Page, unamused,
to be plucked from tomb,
those sepia petals thrown up in the air, 
unravel, the yarns like confetti, 
land at the feet...

There was a time in my life when I thought I knew it all.
I was so sure that there was nothing more for me to learn.
I was bound to land on my feet and I would rarely fall.
I knew better than to cross a bridge,...

The month of perfection has come for the sons and daughters of zion to possess their possession,
with the understanding that September is a month like no other month to remember in the history of histories for those who believe in the word of the lord.

If my heart breaks and there’s no one around
Does it still make a sound
Does it still fall to the floor
And shatter on the ground
And if I buy a million rolls of duck tape
And a dump truck full of staples
Can I patch it back together 
If...

Open to suggestion I’ve always been

Single gals were called as I sipped sloe gin

      Roses wilting in the heat

      Why did they land at MY feet?

Catching the bridal bouquet did me in


The garter was tossed...

To my sons

His feet
Lead him to breech
Any borders and seek
To meet his brothers as equals
Steven.
His feet
Lead him to leap
Over walls and land on his feet
Andrew
His feet
Seek to be free
To reach the top of trees
And fly to where dares the eagle
Matthew.
