Best Paralleling Poems

The Student

As I strolled upon the green
and take in the breathtaking view of the front lawn
the onrush of winter geese take on the horizon, 
				waking me to my senses.

The silent roar of two lions guard the entrance
the entrance that now greets me from the summer...

Two way street 
a common road
so much esteemed on the way one go's
Those who build a world with hands
and the bodies beaten to build those plans
Others figure with minds of brilliance 
while charmers amass financial assistance

Our world, our human existence.

Dividends balanced in skewed proportion,
like the...

Haven where solicitous parents hover
		over sick little ones and dispense advice to
		mature ones; an emotional stronghold, not merely an
		edifice one enters for physical shelter.

		Sanctuary whose personality changes
		with time, paralleling inhabitants' metamorphoses,
		embellished with evidences of the pride and sentimentality
		each possesses, those preferences each
		thrives on as part...

It is something
I've never feared,
I was born to fly.

Born to see cloud shadows
on the ground and the sugar sprinkles
of snow along a ridge,
leading to
the frosting clad Shasta.

Born to see the meandering
snow melt rivers descending
into checkerboard farm lands,
and the straight course
of the plane's shadow
paralleling tiny highways
towards...

Listen hear me out
Had to go in His presence of the throne
Not alone 
Surrounded by majestically
Spiritual trombones
Blowing announcing here she comes
Aisle ready thy Kingdom come
Jubilee ceremonial fun
Keep pushing understanding to some
Seasons change like doubled down reasons
Judge radically comes from
A place unseen unaware to some
Only existing...

OF BEAUTIFUL MORNING GLORIES…

The ebon night
has slowly waned
and the peaking dawn
waxes as the horizon slowly
raises its eyelid releasing
a sleepy orange glow.
 
Slowly, the giant
earthly eyeball begins
to brightly shine morning
with its eternal visioning of life
and another perpendicular promise
has been given to another paralleling 
ebony night had...

Time is going by
Hell is breaking loose
Everybody is running, running, jumping, paralleling by

Bright eyes surround you, they have never, always, sometimes, been waiting
If the stars blink out, the sun burns out, the moon falls down
Great savta's all around, will have never been creating

Bright, bright, bright,...

A shot of tequila..
Stare in my eyes.
Sparkling stars
up in the skies.
Paralleling motives.
Hands upon hip. 
Cacoethes whirling.
Undeniable grip.
Passionate sounds.
Decant from my soul. 
Sweat dripping down.
Love in control. 
Messages sent with a push..
and a pull. 
Satisfaction released..
Passions will rule....

*** Sketching the Ballerina ***

It is well, quite well after midnight. 
My pup lies fagged on the blanket
    as close to me as possible.
The young ballerina sits slightly slumped
On a bench across from the barre, still wearing 
Her  stage costume with...

Cotton Commercials
always reminded me of
my grandmother's house
irony cotton paralleling
Ridgfield Park, New Jersey bitterness.
Boiling in decrepit neighborhoods, 
once swarming with Irish and Italian Catholics.
Now a haven of cracked sidewalks
ten miles outside of Manhattan.

Maybe it was the song that did it?
Reminiscent of that old wood grained plastic...

He walks alone in silence as the ghost in his mind wants to come alive

Trees and wildflowers at his side, 
paralleling nature’s  balance
and symmetrical harmony, 
as the yellow faces and hollow bodies beam

In his wake, 
he sees a picture painting, 
caressing his every step...

Lunar Revelation

Like the moon
seeking fulfillment,
my thoughts hung dangling
in cosmic crescent and yin-yang
spaces of contemplation
until tell-tale gibbous moments
of awareness prefaced 
the paralleling of the full moon
reality and life’s waxing and waning;
it’s crucifixion and resurrection;
and the revealed emptiness
of its cross reflecting the fulfillment
of its quest.

In the moon-glow
of...

Perpendicular!
another year in his grace
paralleling love
in all his seasons
engaged in labors of love
the teacher's teacher:
hey! just look at me!
flowering at 83
blooming in glory!

PERPENDICULAR AND PARALLEL
(Apropos Of We Got This)

Another sunrise,
We are perpendicular;
Paralleling life:-

Upright together,
We are parallel in thoughts;
Victory is ours:-

Onward let us go;
Perpendicular in hope,
Paralleling faith:-
