Best Stateliness Poems

The ponderous fog lifted early,
now the widening bounteous blue
makes its presence known,
my feet stay on the ground,
but my eyes climb an upward
journey passing slowly in review
and as big as passion itself.

I'm gently carried to another height,
a caressing contentment and quiet period
where the depths of inspiration
seem...

The Night beguiles and bewitches me 
as shadow deepen and lengthen
The moon shyly peeps out at me
then bursts out in splendid stateliness.

Now clouds drift across its beaming face
causing shadows to change their shape
I see first a unicorn dancing in the night
Followed by a trio of...

Minister:

I watched the wind bend trees
and break their stateliness and pride.
With force that only God creates,
Wind pushes man aside.
I ought to know by now that wind,
invisible to me.
Can, with it’s first small breath begin
a full catastrophe.

Lawyer:

Allegedly, I may have seen
some trees collapse and fall.
I’m not...

There stands a lofty tree  
beckoning to lovebirds 
whilst it shades wildflowers
 and dreamers resting 'neath its
majestically revered stateliness,
portrayed by famed artists alike, 
written farthermost poetic essence
midst ennobled exaltation's grandeur...

In memory it is standing still
with decrepit stateliness,
a crumbling mansion on the hill,
in pathetic loneliness.

Mama says when she was young
it was owned by a rich man
and was the nicest house in town.
Just picture it if you can.

When the Great Depression hit,
the rich man lost his...

The skilled have fashioned melodies,
the keystrokes of the mind,
proclaiming hopes and verities,
extolling humankind;
colours unbeknown'st to us
do hover and distill,
and splash, now they're synonymous
with God's almighty will.

Might we as students of the art
assume a kindred tone,
interpret measures of the heart
'til theirs and ours are one;
re-craft with...

I would say as if my dreams were real
and try to soothe you while you send me
yours 
as if mine would cease
I would step through the sky if stars
would make way
for spells with no end
And cease to hold them dear
in vain
I would invite a trying...

my school colors 
brooks brothers navy blue 
and establishment gold 
were God-awful choices 
for Catholic girls 
being educated beyond 
their parents' means. 

seventeen, out of high school 
ready for life 
without restrictions 
I was prime 
for the times 
revolutionary ideas 
about life loving and living...

The third little pig knew how to pick
When making his abode of brick.
Of course, he chose it ‘cause it’s strong
And on that count, he wasn’t wrong…

But also, it has street appeal,
A stateliness that can conceal
Whatever’s happening inside,
For upright living is implied.

I grew up in a...

...inspired by 'Anthem' by Anthony Hecht


The deft will fashion melodies
and cast them to the wind,
proclaiming hopes and verities,
uplifting humankind;
colours unbeknown'st to us
will hover and distill,
and splash 'til they're analogous
to God's almighty will.

We as students of the art
would seek a kindred tone,
interpret measures of the heart
'til...

Two black swans swim in a pond
Displaying their stateliness
Forming a heart with their necks
A proof of real love...

Often winter is very harsh and cold,
and yet its frozen trees are draped
in white snow and that's charming and exciting;
look for the blooming snow flowers towards morning.

Other seasons echo with mellow sounds,
many are the songbirds that create harmony;
in winter we may see a raven with...

Along the road on my way
I looked up, walking away
Boughs of yellow flowers so bright
They were a heavenly sight
Hanging , from the lined trees
With zooming around of bees
The passing cars threw fumes
Left unaffected seemed the blooms
I'd forgotten about this flower
To ignite the spirit it has...

Say, praises are because of Allah the One
Who hasn’t taken a son
And who hasn’t got a partner in any place
And who doesn’t need a helper to save Him from disgrace
So proclaim His stateliness and greatness....
