Best Large Poems
There Was A Heart, As Large As Ocean Skies
Moonstruck magic, from her large bright blue eyes
There was a heart, as large as ocean skies
And I had met an angel pure and true
Garden romantic roses so soon grew
If only life would show her my love gaze
And set beautiful fires flaming in blaze.
If he, there in that soft fancy new suit
Could see my now-born love had taken root
As a grove of delicious apple trees
Searing eager soul, so ready to please
If only, this morn, romance sets its treat
And therein we both Cupid's arrows meet.
Moonstruck magic, from her large bright blue eyes.
There was a heart, as large as ocean skies.

Sonnet
Note:
This was born from a first love encounter back in 1973.
And yes love united two into one, but fate and world's
Many dark temptations eventually tore that blessing asunder.
Youth and blindness, worked to destroy what was golden.

Sonnet
I am a large woman,
Broad lovely hips,
Soft round belly,
Big luscious lips.
Wherever I go,
People take notice of me,
Let them gawk,
At my massive beauty.
People that laugh,
Think they cause me dismay,
Too small to perceive,
The femininity I convey.
I am like a mountain,
Exuding simple grace,
Too vast and three dimensional,
To be considered commonplace.
I am a large woman,
With pride I stand tall,
I don't take up too much room,
This world's just too damn small.

It was really a simple thing
Four chains holding a large plank
Suspended from the ceiling
A big blue swing
Summer at its peak
Heat touching 45 degrees
Cousins all crammed up
On a large blue swing
Listening to granny’s stories
The distant fan slowly whirring
Laughing and giggling at nothing
On a large blue swing
Plate in hand my brother would sit at its end
Pretending to drive an airplane
Never knew planes did not have steering
On the large blue swing
Sometimes when no one was around
I’d sit on it with outstretched hands
Barely touching both its ends yet feeling like a queen
On a large blue swing
With my favourite cousin sometimes I’d sit
Munching hot salted peanuts
Pouring out our deepest secrets
On a large blue swing
At noon in granny’s lap I’d lie
And listen to her lullaby
Soon asleep, without a worry in life
On a large blue swing
Like the swing her hopes never ran high
She spoke to me of days gone by
Looking beautiful, despite a toothless smile
On a large blue swing.
Today it is no more there
With grandma it slowly passed away
But memories still remain
On the large blue swing.

Speak to me in words I understand.
Don’t let pompous attitude embroiled
With your intellectual narcissism
Cause you to judge my words with disdain
Because I write with veracity and simplicity.
Humility has such rich virtue,
And when all material matter
Is spent, is what will be remembered.
There is such evidence left by
Humble poets in their timeless poetry.

To the right of my screen, what should I see?
There’s a plus-sized blonde wearing a dress that’s pretty.
Kudos to you for making clothes for the large lady.
Those are the kinds of women that appeal to me.
What you are selling them really looks nice.
Your clothing does justice for a big girl at a good price.
I want to see a woman of mine in your dress.
For the business you are in, I wish you success.

There's a little town in Ouyen Vic.'' Under 1200 people so
I'll tell you bout aspects; of it sort'a quick!
There's Clarys slate bush etching, in three d real fine.!
And a little hairdressers that comes to mind.?
The conveniance store.' And theres some more.!
Like the old English banknotes found under
Its timber hall floor.' Also Kingdon chickens thats out a bit'
Where I worked a time 'come to think of it?' There
Was that pet Emu..Dang! I've forgot its name?
It would steal your food, just take it plain.' Away
From your hand, on the way to your mouth!!
Maybe thats the reason i left the South? I reckon
I'll get back there one of these days..And lay a
A fresh sandwich upon that old birds grave.!

At six foot four, and an eighth of a ton,
A gentle giant of a man, he was;
Father to three, and himself a fine son,
Devoted husband to Jean, without pause.
Phone man, painter, in ocean liners he cruised,
Accompanied by family and friends;
Sweet song in his heart, but never the blues,
Wisdom and patience, in life his clear lens.
He loved a recipe, and showing concern,
With actions, like always asking about you;
His life well balanced, his legacy earned,
Sharing his Jesus—the Gospel's Good News!
Taking time for grandkids, he humbly shared,
Both time and his money, an open book;
Bouncing upon knees, for great grands he cared,
Teaching scriptures, over breakfast he’d cooked.
Eighty-two years was his Lord’s master plan,
Fifty-eight to a soulmate, solemnly wed;
What mattered most, to this giver of men,
Was baking and breaking, life’s finest bread.
A Soldier whose honor, served us all well,
Humbly he loved, these United States;
His strong Christian faith, now clear as a bell,
His given name, you ask? Twas—Walter Yates!
(Rest in Peace Dear Friend. We miss you, sir!)

I always wanted to jump out of an airplane
My friends they would tell me that I was just insane
I took me a chance
but I lost my pants
Giving the ladies a peek at my candy cane

Limerick
"3 Large Nails"
I have used a hammer many times, to pound nails into wood!
A moments reflection has given me thoughts of something
else quite understood!
Long ago, in the past, at a place known as Calvary,
"3 Large Nails" were used in extreme cruelty!
A Man was laid down on a cross, with His arms spread right and left!
Two other men were laid along side Him,
for they were guilty of theft!
Not one thing had this Man done! He had committed no crime!
This was His crucifixion, that would be remembered for all of time!
"3 Large Nails" were chosen, for this dastardly act.
They held His arms down, placed a nail in each palm,
and brought the hammer down with forceful impact!
I would've screamed to the highest Heavens
for they pounded a large nail through both feet,
but scripture said "He shall not cry, nor lift up,
nor cause His voice to be heard in the street!"
(Isaiah 42:2)
See, this Man NEVER, EVER said a word, not one word in protest!
"3 Large Nails" were driven through His palms and both feet,
dying for our sins at His Father's request!
After this crucifying act, He on His cross was then stood upright!
This Man who had only done good and nothing wrong,
was left to die in the night!
"3 Large Nails" were chosen, to anchor this Man to a cross!
"3 Days Later He Was Resurrected And Ascended!
He gave His life as the ultimate in cost!"

i wandered through the plains
with my pony by my side
and we both would die of thirst
we wouldnt make it through the night
cuz the posse lay upon our heels
they strike with bayonets
hurting blisters theyve bestowed
upon my heels i cant forget
with the sun upon my head
and a six gun on my side
i wish that i could tell you
that my horse could bear the ride
she collapsed right in the field
i had to leave her body there
trusted friend though she was
i couldnt carry her i swear
so i found a shallow river
and i drank to fill my blood
how i wish that tender horse
could taste the sweetness from above
still i wander with my blisters
and my six gun by my side
still a wounded bounty hunter
with no gentle horse to ride

Some things are small
Like things you should not sweat.
Others are large -
They make your temples wet.
Your hair stands up
And beads form on your brow
Rather than evaporate
The droplets join to flow
What if tears are added in
And pain is there as well?
Do you drown in liquid agony?
And who could ever tell?
When things get even smaller
They matter more but generate no tears or sweat
Like molecules, atoms. electron swarms and quarks
Scientific knowledge need not make our cheeks run wet.
And things on scales much larger yet,
Like galaxies (with neutron stars),
Are sources of excitement and wonderment
Like planning trips to Mars.
So - do not sweat things that are ‘small’
Really means insignificant,
And tears from joy of discovery
Means anxiety has come, then went.

Living Large Behind Petunia
Elephants walk around on clouds
Light footed in humble stature
Like dolphins strong in mind
They know their station
Commanding winds of change
Remain complacent to a fault
Smiling at the fruits of sun and food
Never take life too seriously
Being elephant is a weighty matter
Taking one large step at a time
Tiny eyes see all, large and small
Hiding behind a petunia is challenging
Still they rise to the occasion
To please one and all
