Best Southernmost Poems

THAW     AT    CROWSNEST     PASS  

Huge mountains massed and  cliffs  sheer.  It’s  March

The Painted Islands


The beaches brushing Hawaii's sea blues,
in and of itself are impressive track,
perceptive picturesque color-filled views.

Like some isles, Punalu'u beach is black.
Elsewhere here, famed Kahena, sandy scene 
aloft cliff's vista that aligns its back.

Punalu'u nears southernmost, you've been

Paints a picture of hope in my mind's blank canvas" ~ quote by poet

the blue waves hum in...

See the Victorian style homes of an earlier day.
There are plenty of them around Cape May.
The sea birds seem to laugh as they fly.
Ubiquitously, they fill the summer sky.
Frolic in the sand and the surf by the sea.
This is the southernmost tip of New Jersey.

A nation with the southernmost capital in the globe
whose identity has constantly been bullied
by the global acknowledgement of a larger one.
A place where economic empowerment comes through films
to the point a movie employed a minister for maximum harvest.

No name longer than that of a Hill...

Hint of Autumn

Sunstar wakes, Aurora reacts,
As light skews her southernmost sky,
A roost rouses, a rooster crows,
Henhouse's wood handle lifts up.

A replete farm inclined to rouse,
Sunstar wakes, Aurora reacts,

Baskets of fresh eggs walked with care.

A kitchen's stove burners...

"My mind was once the true survey,

Of all these meadows fresh and gay,

And in the greenness of the grass,

Did see its hopes as in a glass..."

Windswept village,

Ancient 1836,

Tornado torn,

Blasted to bits.

It is horrible news for any business entity
if an outfit is forced into a bankruptcy.
There is no immunity even in the casino industry.
Another one bites the dust here in Atlantic City.
After the thirteenth day of the month of January,
the southernmost place on the boardwalk will...

There was a panther roar 
On an icy Canadian floor 
Off in the distance 
Images filled with persistence 
Somewhere south marlins swim and dolphins dance 
Aquarium stage is where they get the chance 
While heat experience Orlando’s indoors 
Loving the magic galore 
Once Miami was...

Cape Comorin  (Kanyakumari) of Tamil Nadu,
Might be copious of the core concept called Xanadu;
Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, 
Amalgamate and mingle here, like mermaids, full of glee...!

Treasures of silver, gold, and gemstones within oceans lay,
Sea gods and goddesses; ghosts and angels; live...

This is a beautiful place that is dry and sunny.
It’s an historical region dating back to antiquity.
We are on the Mediterranean island of Sicily.
It is the very southernmost tip of Italy.

Two men who wanted to see my father dead,
met their own demise with shots in...
