Best Lofty Poems

From my window lofty high
I sit and watch the passersby 
Safely from within the womb
Of this quiet and private room
That's my asylum in the sky
And, I imagine...

From the safety of my perch
Above the elm, the oak, and birch
Alone, I slowly drift through life
Exempt from conflict,...

Terrifying tumultuous tremendous traumatic transaction
Horror in the towering splashes of ocean in howl
The vigilant lighthouse pounded by the surfs of annihilation
The huge and awful sea right now is on the untamed prowl

The shivering cold wind around the angry eyes of the hurricane
Has ruthlessly dispersed the...

In 2028, the votes were tallied
and the winner announced.
The loser had been trounced
by a good woman of the people.

Soon, epaulets came into her office
and other shiny suits so fine
as the new President's eyes did shine
in warm greeting.

These men quickly cut her smile
telling her how the...

She sat there under a rooted lofty tree.. Shading branches and fanning leaves kept her company... The hissing of silence and the reigning of solitude driving her cold at home. She took a step out to let vanish the void that filled her chest. She...

Motorbikes and barking dogs
Are driving me to drink
With the endless din of traffic
I can no longer think

I’ll have a little nip of Gin
Perhaps a beer or two
And then I’ll close the window 
That might help me too

Perhaps I’ll take my rifle
With a telescopic sight
And find...

The falcon is a noble hawk.
His eye-sight is incredible …

He sails upon the breeze, then stoops
To conquer something edible …...

There have always been those with lofty aspirations,
And then, there are those with the more lofty hearts.
The first may seek to build with donations,
But the second will dig in to do their part.

Lofty hearts will help their neighbors.
They will be there for moral support.
They will...

Peeping through the window pane
To my sheer delight
Clad with snow and misty clouds
Himalaya greets "Bonjour"...

Love's Lofty Height
by
Ingrid Showalter Swift

A lofty height 
A soft kiss
sweet butter lips 
and the scruff
O lament at the wall of tears with me ... 
Take not the hand of sweet liberty
O my sweet earnest soul…be still and vacuous as the sea as it glows 
………..it...

Mountains grappled with earthquakes,
erupted like volcanoes,
affected by erosion,
but the lofty mountains faced agonies with smile.

Mountains confronted heavy rain,
crusted with snow,
endured the scorching heat,
but the lofty mountains tolerated all the odds.

Mountains have discerned glorious sunrises and sunsets,
dealt with the flood and droughts,
seen many lightnings strikes,
but the...

When shall I ever be numbered with the wise?
who to words of wisdom and ideals give rise.
And by way of much learning and experience,
they handle situations with tact and prudence.

When shall I ever be numbered with the learned?
Who in arts and science are thoroughly schooled.
Ever...

Lofty altitudes

Lift away my earth grown mood

Feathers grow new fluff

As hearts' idyllic feel soars

Through blue skies' serene caress

And did those wings in ancient time
Soar upward in the sun burnt sky:
And was the father of our dreams
Seen boldly taking us on high!

And did the clever man of arts
Shed light upon our lofty bent?
And was a seed implanted in
That Cretan's dark imprisonment?

Bring me my...
