Best Mansions Poems

If your apartment or your house
Could use a slight expansion,
May I suggest, instead, that you
Just build yourself a mansion.

Today I've toured a couple,
Both in Hudson River towns.
With property like that, your moods
Should have no room for downs.

A bit of ostentation
Seems de rigueur, though, I guess,
But...

Tour the mansions of Rhode Island
(And it doesn’t matter which)
And discover just how different
Life can be if you are rich.

Want to throw a little party?
Ask 400 of your friends
While your servants prep and coddle
For the fun that never ends.

Have some outfits made in Paris;
Order in...

MANSIONS

Where the sun doesn’t shine there is shadow

Or there is night

Darkness thirsting for the moon

Or heaven’s blessed light

The Mansions of Heaven

I’ve birthed poems that still miss attention from friends
that are company to me. Downpours? Keep me dry!
Life provides, both in comings and goings (some fear).
I find joy in the knowledge some things can’t get grasped
that we’ve worth past our ‘sell date,’ own...

The Stars lit up the skies and nothing could I see,
Except these huge Mansions that fly in the sky.
Swirling winds picked me up and carried me high.
Making trails in the clouds it was just me.
It was breathtaking just to be,
Afloat the top of mansions that...

(Haiku Suit) 


Stately pretty homes 
Some beautiful still today 
Relics from the past 

Still a Southern pride 
If their wall could only talk 
What secrets could tell 

Standing some still tall 
Nice historical mansions 
Jewels from the past 

Trees so grand and lush 
Surround them...

~Stately Southern Mansions~
(Senryu  Suite)


Stately pretty homes
Some beautiful still today
Relics from the past

Still a Southern pride
If their wall could only talk
What secrets could tell

Standing some still tall
Nice historical mansions
Jewels from the past

Trees so grand and lush
Surround them all 'round
Elegant stately grounds

Pretty as picture
Much loved and...

Several Mansions exist in the town wherein I reside,
Built decades ago, with craftsmanship and great pride;
Filled with rooms and carpeted stairs,
They were a marvelous domicile for the family living there.

Now they've been partitioned and divided many times,
Yet one can still see their beautiful, architectural lines.

MANSIONS (a contemplation)

Sit
Get comfortable
Relax
Eyes closed    (for most)
A mantra if you wish

He called them “Mansions”
Those which have no name in their space

He urged    “Go into your closet”
That door which fades
     where ceiling    walls...

Let not your hearts be troubled;
If you believe in God,  believe in Me.
My Father's House has many mansions,
Soon with your eyes you shall see.

I go there to ready places for you,
Then will come so you may go, also.
I will take the faithful with Me...

Come the final judgement day
the judge may be yourself,
no matter if you lived your life
in poverty or wealth.

Released at last from earthly bonds,
your soul then free to roam
you’ll seek a final resting place
that you will make your home.

Depending on your spirit’s wealth
now measured by your...

Sit up There in You Mansion
It's What You've Wanted for Years
But Tell Me If You Can
Does Money and Mansions Dry Your Tears

Emeralds, Rubies and Diamonds
Are Cold and Have No Emotion
Would You Be Surprised to Know
They Can Show You No Devotion?

I Have No Money or Mansions
But...

My House Has Many Mansions

last time we had looked
there have been many mansions
in West Virginia

One is even a Senator of great 
notoriety we have heard....

Darkness pours over the horizon,
the sun slips away.
Driven by consuming hunger,
a monstrous beast, lies in wait.
Hooded men in the choir,
weave webs from their lips,
while the hurst creeps by slowly,
in a seemingly endless parade.
On high hills, in colossal mansions,
live the soulless, adorned with magnetic bright eyes.
Veiled...
