Best Scenic Poems

I Once Walked Scenic Woodland Trails

In the utter darkness of great forested nights,
those sounds call and beckon to me about life;
I am finding again my way into a bushel of lights,
a child, fleeing from this world and its strife.

Years of my youth, I walked scenic...

                The hero of a fairy tale never loses his face
                The blizzard will subside...

It seems that for our journey through life a road has been paved. 
That some say we must travel for our souls to be saved.
Well that might be the path for the average man. 
But It's not for me, you see I have my own...

Who's lost?  Taking scenic route!...

Land of lush forested hills,
Such exquisiteness gives thrills,
Sparkling Alpine lakes delight,
Their pristine glow glitters bright,
Azure touches the meadows,
A whisper of cloud shadows,
Land of lush forested hills.

I know I'm going to hell
for eating this forbidden fruit
but before I say my farewell
let me leave taking the scenic route

 

I want to see the ashy trees
and the hell birds flying by
the crimson lava filled seas
with the stench of death's tide

 

I got to...

intersecting, reaching out
Destination sky....

roar heard all around
waters flow down cold mountain trail

February marks the date but we don't celebrate.
Relationship is real, daily struggle, money, temptations, and 
suicidal moments. 
We took the scenic route but have only seen one mountain.

in the dead of (winter) night
in the dead of winter (night) 
a mime was executed for stealing pancakes

the gunpowder tango sounded
over the burnt black bones of Bastille

wretchedness comes in manifold reverie
in distempered visions of epochal disasters

mime's widow's now loitering enshrouded 
dismal and dismantled into the...

February marks the date but we don't celebrate.
Relationship is real-
Daily struggle, money temptations, and 
suicidal moments… 
We took the scenic route but have only seen one mountain.

Crater Lake

Looking down high above in sunny skies
A view through aircraft window down below...
A sublime scene of beauty cast in eyes
Of a crater lake, crowned by pristine snow.
The island in its center brought such cheer,
A picture postcard flocked with evergreens,
With a sense of serenity so...

It's raining.
Well, it was at least.
I'm just a nobody in their parents' garage witnessing the aftermath.

And it's raining.

After so long.
I love the rain.
The way it clears the air. Makes it thin. Thinner.
Easier to breathe. And...

Off to Mount Rushmore
To see the presidents:
Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln, and Roosevelt,
Men of enormous stature
In the land of The Lakota,
Keystone, South Dakota
Fourteen years undertaking
Borglum’s work breathtaking,
With sixty-foot-high faces
Carved into granite outcrop,
One of our country’s
Most celebrated places.

Humid and hot
Scorching parking lot 
Longest day, shortest night 
Light and dark fight 
Shorts and tank tops 
Sandals and flip flops 

Cutting grass
Catching bass
Beaches and amusement parks 
Hungry sharks 
Summer-do’s
Badminton and horseshoes 

Green grass
Oaks and Sassafras 
Daisies and sunflowers 
Sun is up for hours 
Bonfires...
