Best Spectacular Poems

Sky covers her nakedness
with the raiment of clouds
Stars array in circular patterns
to stage a group ballet
Amid, sits queen moon
in silken robes and a silver diadem 
bathed in garish light
with a flash of amber and a blaze of gold
like a halogen lamp
Soon clouds will make way...

"Same old, same old" say those sad, uninspired 
		People who feel that life should be required
		Each day to regale them with something new,
		Coax them with an irresistible view
		That promises many a grand tomorrow,
		Abundant joys beyond the status-quo.
		Can't they see that sunrise, sunset, flowers,
		Unglamorous duties, snows,...

Children build...

Scene of such grand pageantry, men flock to view in legions.
Phenomenon to behold in most Northern of Earth's regions.
Energies of atmospheric particles meet and burst in collision

Trails, as if rising to Heaven, glowing phosphorous apparition.
Aurora Borealis; ...

Overhead, skeins of geese begin their annual flight.
Colorful robes of foliage adorn the trees for our delight.
Towering mountains wear crowns of glistening snow.
Over earth the harvest moon casts it's mellow glow.
Babbling brooks will soon be covered with shimmering ice.
Enterprising squirrels gather their winter's fare to...

In one's life they can  be taken by surprise 
I mean totally caught off guard

It didn't come instantly 
I have not fully arrived 

Because there's so much to uncover 
There's so much to explore

I'm in good space and this feels good
Is it love?

I'm certain...

I am invigorated and renewed
my soul feels cleansed by the cold grass
I sit low, looking at the individual blades
the color is fascinating, God’s color
replicated in the leaves of a walnut tree
and the healthy balls of her fruits
spectacular colors that wake...

Stock-still in gold dawn light while many sleep,
perched, scanning, on abandoned termite heap.
Expectant, skin tingles as in cold breeze
contrasting with the stillness of the trees.
The tracking beeper focuses our minds
as aerial picks target from behind.
Cheetah ten yards away now caught off guard
upwind of us, head...

Colors that crackle make cherry flowers that beautifully unfold.
Trails of sparks can glitter the sky in gold...

T witching stars ignite celestial realm,
A dmitting dazzling gold to overwhelm.
C omets combust across eternal sky,

Sun sets predictably each day in the west
Painting pictures as it drops behind the hills
Each one a kaleidoscope of ever changing colors
Captured in the mind and heart of men
Teasing us with their brief appearance
Again and again we attempt to hold on to its message
Calling out...

S pectacular smiles worn by schoolgirls.
P owerful and poetic when the answer is right.
E ngraved-in-anger in case of a fight.
