Best Prodigious Poems


The Prodigious Woman

Tic tac! Tic tac! Time flies
Encompassing fears and tribulations, she smiles
A second's like a gemstone before her eyes
Trying to please the World before the night cries
What a prodigious woman

Mother of my mother
Without prevaricating, the astonishing wonder
Among many, she dominates like thunder
Made a name that no man can put asunder
What a prodigious woman

Round thew globe and down to Enugu city
Protects her children with love and ferocity
Her achievements soaring the greatest mountain
And her exquisite body that makes men hunting
What a prodigious woman

So tremendous
Extraordinarily gorgeous
Precisely adventurous
Extremely dexterous
Really fabulous
Truly marvelous
Gallantly fantabulous
Finally prodigious
What a PRODIGIOUS woman

Dedicated to my grandmother, Mrs Egbuna.

Why do you always forgive
and invite me back home?

Why do I respond to my Prodigal Son
with prodigious love?

I guess.

Because we share an Older RightBrain Stem,
right down into our DNA-drenched bone marrow,
that always feels cooperatively drawn toward trust,
and dissonantly struggles
with competitive Me-Win v We-Lose compromises

with how ecological NotSelf
and ego-logical Self would prodigiously thrive
if we all could remember
we all have been the Prodigal Child,
if only in our rebellious imaginations

And we all have potential to be Prodigious Elders,
not choosing between
growing natural health
and starving familial wealth.

Like wanting your LeftBrain logical wellness cake
while RightBrain eco-dislogically over-eating it too.

Said like a Win/Win 
prodigiously thoughtful
prodigally intuitive
neurosystemically wise Elder.

I guess,
for the best.

Prodigiously.

Appreciate your reunion invite
but this annoyingly prolific habit,
always needing the last polysyllabic word ,
continues driving me prodigally away.

What can I less prodigiously say 
to help you feel better
about this run-away compulsion 
of mine?

Preferably,
and parabolically, 
nothing.

'prodigious Philanthropist'

Prodigious;
Remarkable or impressive in extent, size or degree.
Prodigious;
Archaically unnatural or great abnormally.

The difference between, only being slight of hand.
Biblical in proportion as before the great flood,
The living grieved must now take an archaic stand,
Banish this dead philanthropist anointed with blue blood.

Publically giving throughout his life;
He fooled the common-man and even the queen.
Cleverly masking the innocents' strife,
His death revealed gifted garishness unseen.

While knighthood is a living order that death takes away;
The Whitehall committee possesses the power empanelled.
Emboldened by the servile multitude willing to flay,
Jimmy Savile's many years of prestige must now be annulled.

Prodigious Peregrine

~The Prodigious Peregrine~
The wide winged Peregrines
soar over the ocean.
Flapping their wings
in steady motion.
Grazing the waves
as they head for the caves
shadowing the finned
on their way there.
The prey they ensnare
makes their trip through the air
proof they are quite disciplined.
When it's time to resume
they will fly by the moon
back to their grassy bedding.
There they will rest
feeling well fed
under the sunshine
basking.
When their bellies cry out
they'll go back into flight
for now, they lay
quietly resting.
