Best Measuring Poems

Though countless hours slip away
With memories unregistered
There are moments that define us
By the love and comfort offered

Portfolios filled with kindness
Will take us to a higher plane
Than resumes of apathy
Or PhDs of the inhumane

Some brains are blessed with intellect
To achieve academic height
But spiritual souls rise higher
As...

Asked to measure love, what can you say,where do you start
easier starter,contentment, fulfillment and trust but,
no oceans depths nor deserts wide, can capture
to the galaxys above, go further
multiplication to grains of sand, on earh to the infinity of stars
love can be, a very powerful word....

The young mind weaved the tapestry of dream
as the expectant mother floating on cloud nine.
The flower of future she perceived with pleasure
blooming, its petals touching her within softly
sparking so much of adored excitement dormant
that melted in the nightmare of relentless tears
for the new premature life...

I measure my wealth
looking at my grains of sand
wondering if the clay
that surrounds it
will keep it together.
I measure the water
a drip, a drip...
should I drop the bucket?...
with a list that I should do?
Swiftly moving to the hands 
of someone molding me
slapping, beating, caressing, shaping
all to...

Sometimes I feel
That no matter what 
I don't measure up.

There's just something inside me
A lack of trust,No one can see
I just don't measure up

It's hard not to try to compare
Being last in line,when others shine
I just feel I don't measure up.

I try so hard to...

My Measuring Cup

As usual I have been accused of
mis-placing the measuring cup
again. Aha. She found it in the
dishwasher exactly where she
left it. So here is My Horn Haiku
to describe the event with.

Guess what I found out?
Another measuring cup
Is missing again.

Is so intensive
Women will find offensive
Men...

With strong hands resting
on sharp rocks, I stare afar
intrigued by silence...

I seem disenchanted
by what reality conveys
through its mystery... 
 

Fear is a lament, 
a remote voice never heard;
a lark's joyless shrill...

Somewhere upon the terminator’s birth
The young lovers dance and sway
To a symphony of dawn and starlight
Undulating within newfound passions
These two naively press and discover
The zealous meaning of temperate youth

Lost within the mornings heavy rise
They run through the soft breaking crests
Crashing upon their rococo painted beaches
Living...

"measuring years"

how do I measure the years
do I start at the beginning or the end
will it cover the many tears
anger and bitterness I will not defend
just let me be to have my mind
as the years of pain are intertwined
years one and two and counting are...

Measuring the Lunatic Fringe

By Elton Camp

On the Internet their wacky beliefs are found
Although they have very long been around

The lunatic fringe has a range of belief
Confused and frustrated, they suffer grief

They grow angrier with each passing day
And insist all the more on things they say

Crazy,...

How are you going to do it?
How do you weigh the Infinite?
How do you measure the Absolute?
How do you test the IQ of Omniscience? 

Would you measure God for a suit?
Would you ask His age,or how much
money He has in the Bank of Heaven?
What about...

Little is less than a lot
And most is not a few
I need a handle on this
So I know what to do
When measuring more
Into my favorite recipe
For a palmful is okay
Measuring for me …
Then come the metrics
Confusing me more
I cannot read labels
In the grocery store
I know...

From the moment they gave him the measuring tape
That's the second Monty started to measure away
Measuring this and measuring that
From the round side of rings to the square side of flat

He measured the span on the wings of a fly
The knees of the bees as...
