Best Matriarch Poems

Royal Matriarch

Beloved, cherished, idolized
Who could this person be?
A pop star or the president?
A hot celebrity?

Not even close, ten cuts above
A modest hero reigns
A selfless woman, strong and bold
A beauty with the brains

This person is no other than
The royal matriarch
The solid rock beneath our feet
Our night...

THE MATRIARCH 
(In Memory of Eva Vescovi Dixon 1910-2010) 
by Tina (Vescovi) Lasley 

She was a Sister, Mother, Aunt and Friend 
Someone on whom you could always depend 
She was Counselor, Advisor, and Mentor to all 
There to pick us up if we should fall...

~The Family Matriarch~

She is the chalk that draws the line
The sturdy rope, the ties that bind 
The go-to when times are rough
The sweetness in the breath of love

She sets the rhythm of the day
She is the all in all she's made
And we, the gallery of...

I remember Mama… 
Always cooking, 
Always sweeping,
Always washing dishes,
Always cleaning the laundry,
Always helping with homework,
Always counseling, and
Always pregnant!

She taught us how to work
When she bought a sack of nails
And showed us how to drive them straight.
She made us pull the bent nails
And straighten them
So we...

the matriarch is the oldest female head of a family
and I'm so elated that God has preserved this position for me
I've lived a life that has been almost four scores
and I've seen what my people have had to endure
as I stand here today I'm a...

Resilient man

able to ward off dragons

tow glaciers

shake off venomous snake bite

scale Mt. Everest

survive desert, blizzard conditions

wage war with guilt

boast of battle;

braggadocio


Frail male, behold the mighty girl...

you're helpless for that female touch

hopeless in her love

reckless fire desire


Look at you boy...

needy, weak, lost

minus her embrace

yet,

toe to candy...

My grandma is the most wonderful person in the universe.
May 30th, 1924 is when this graceful woman entered earth.
She battled through hardships and cried with joy
had one beautiful daughter and two healthy boys
She raised them able and taught them loyalty.
Disciplined them strictly yet treated them...

Three boys and seven girls
Our house was never in a whirl

You were always giving and never taking
Meal after meal you were making

Never taking time for yourself
Always thinking about someone else

Three boys and seven girls 
Our house was never in a whirl

With just one look 
You...

The Matriarch

crying out beneath the earth
the cemetery seed
which dies before it has its birth
in a hail storm of need
leader of the fallen child
in nadir of man's greed
treasure in the vultures mouth
circling to feed
everything I have you left
it's value does exceed
the taxable trinkets of a life
that...

Strong & Stead Fast
Never looking to the past
One hundred years you have stayed
One hundred years, you have led the way

Always had good things to say
Criticizing others has never been your way

The one i look up to for your strength & Light
Always feeling loved
No matter how...

Berceuse was of the hummings I did hear
next to the breast of a matriarch so fair.
Born was a maternal love beyond sheer;
tainted,never to be,endless for our share.
Thus,incessant is your wisdom of life
that I continue to apply with my days.
Those were the filial times of my...

Walk in the garden; the season has changed.

The flowers are gilded like jewels on a bride,
and nectar feeds the honeybee’s heart!
The branches are girded with chrysalis bells
which chime in the breeze of the monarch’s departure.

Fly with flourishes of royal tapestries!
Whisper to the wind which bears...

[ODE TO THE MATRIARCH]

Your heart wandered,
everywhere I trod.
You bartered your perfections for my flaws
and that's how I learnt of sacrifice.

I learnt to dream whilst sleeping,
in the melodies of your infectious lullaby.
I learnt to walk,
when your words of hope beckoned my feet.

I found my strength,
in the...

Matriarch of the Moon

Her mighty bow never misses its mark,
I passed her one night on a hunt in the dark.
I averted my eyes for a beauty unseen,
Under moonlight, entwined with natures queen.
We remained together though the cover of dark.

Before the break of dawn we embarked.
Her...

MATRIARCH OF FAIRIES


She never ages, gains no weight
Her complexion's like peaches and cream
To have a sweetheart with all these traits
Is every young man's dream

Her eyes are blue, her hair is blonde
Her outfit is a lush lime green
She's been around since 1904
Whenever she first was seen

She...
