Best Stately Poems

Dark night flees,
And the first incandescence rays
Of the glorious golden sun
Skim over the haughty hilltops
And filter through the dew-wet leaves
Of the tall and stately pines.

Like open arms
These broken gates reach out to me
And lead me to the lonely house
That overlooks the sea

Her door once proud and stately
Now splintered hangs...

The Unicorn

Once upon a time…
an incredible event occurred that was so sublime.
On a warm summer night many years ago,
awakened by the rhythmic tempo
of hoof beats...

In a tranquil trance,
admiring elegant swans,
flowing along stately streams,
I rested my wearied head,
upon her soothing bosoms.

Her subtle fingers pacified
melancholic tones within the
chambers of my misplaced...

Blue is natural in its beauty.
It can be icy like the Arctic
or calm and stately like a spruce.
Blue is deep like the Aegean; indigo,
or cobalt,...

Dawn's soft silence kept under gauzy veil
Lifted by harmony of harp and flute
Colors dance along roses, bright and pale
Rainbows springing where fertile sky takes root

That frolic among stately pines.

Wind soughed through its sparse trees.
Below a lake spread, at times calm,
At times quite horribly stormy.

He knelt...

'Willow Weep'

The willow
Tree
Is standing
There
Without a
Thought,
Without a 
Care.

Anchored deep
It hugs
The earth,
No hint
Of laughter

And branches
Long,
Its cooing
Now
A mournful
Song.

But why
So sad,
This stately
Tree
That stands
So...

Soon dawns a blessed...

amid the ripple and the flow,
royal blue and sun aglow—
and ragged clouds in limpid sky.

Standing tall...

What we may lose as all mankind nears a crucial brink. 
When oaks and elms and other...
