Best Mt Poems

I reach the edge of the woods
and glimpse
the summit:
high, far –
and daunting.

I must not look up too much,
for I might lose courage.

I need patience,
to string steps 
on the thread of my breath
and trust
that I will arrive.

But every now and then, I shall pause
and look backwards

The dragonflies danced in the crisp Maine air
on a draft from the ocean deep.
Their delicate wings teased the breeze
high up on Mount Battie’s Peak.

Blue-black they flew like the night time sky,
as the mica flecked granite shone,
Seeking nectar sweet from blueberries bushes
and their small white flowers’...

Picture this: Mt. Rushmore
With its most imposing heads
Discussing certain rumors
Which the White House likely spreads.

“He can’t be really serious!”
Groused Teddy, steaming mad.
“I think he is,” calm George replied.
“He’s nuts, though, I should add.”

“There isn’t room up here at all,”
As Thomas pointed out.
“He’ll just buy the...

Mt. Fuji’s crest 
jeweled by white cloudy frills;
lava boils beneath

Three o’clock in the afternoon: 
the sun should have been 
scorching the asphalts 
and the shingles on roofs, but 

spurts of red electric spark
ran across the sky.  Blackness 
smothered any hint of light. 
Molten earth spewed out 
from the gates of hell. The ground...

For milliards of tough years
You have stood in our midst
Unperturbed, indomitable
And you have enticed the rain
And it has showered our fields
Our ridges and verdant plains
And filled not only our rivers
But our streams and rivulets
And much else of our realm
For milliards of long years!

When the first...

There once was a poet named M.T.
Who made me laugh with his poetry.
He made PS so fun;
His talents were so pun,
Comeback to PS and humor me!

The Demise of MT

Margaret Thatcher is dead 
But her legacy lives on.
She went to world against 
The working classes 
And won 
She was a visionary of evil
And her message of hate 
Prevails. 
A strong leader 
An elected dictator never
Seen before. 
One hope the likes of...

Too much crap coming with a high tax
Intentional not by chance
It's always been like that
Others talking behind backs
Especially after sipping out bottles from wine racks
It'll reach an end or climax
After a time lapse
Meanwhile it was in person or done behind glass
Having nothing or everything to...

You are getting higher and higher;
in fact, higher than Mt. Everest!
Almost everyday new problems
belch out from the vents that are quite
difficult to predict their appearance.
The problems at your peak are cooler
than the North Pole.
Sometimes I dream finding myself
at the top of your peak,
gazing at the...

O what a story
your faces all gory
you went into battle
not so long ago
You must have been living
For vengeance, and not so much giving
You want your mountain back

You are homeless and poor
Smaug burned down you door
just for the fun of it
Perhaps they're not all evil
Your life...

To the many hills that provide the most beautiful scenic views
To the people whose speech only provides melodic tunes of Bongo flava 
To the heat, that make every night a celebration 
To the cool waters, a swimmer's paradise, a fisherman's goldmine, a local's daily gift...
