Best Steepness Poems

True definition of a hood love story,
They called him Felony.
Skin was as smooth as a shot of Hennessey.
He made a lot of other men envy.
His style was particularly different from the rest.
No gold chains around his neck, but a simple rosary lies on his chest.
Underneath...

Rain falling with all it's 
Patterns bestowed
Watching ground targets
Seeds calling
Root pouting coves
Stretching limbs in weakness
Meeting beginnings 
Steepness
Peeking trough
Descriptive stories told...

The steepness of a hill on memory lane
As sun shines through whispered clouds
as tireder shoulders welcome rain
wet fingers grasp at shrouds
It's always easy going down
And okay to be alone
But only for a while...

Poem clarification:  I am a farmer and this poem is about a racoon that was flipping the lids of my feed barrels.  This is no easy feat to the point that i didn't even think it was possible that a racoon had the...

COASTLINES

Wearing medallions on their shoulders,
The hero  waves of the Aegean 
Smooth rounded boulders. 
Brightness outside, and shadow deepness, 
Ruins of civilization with  columns, 
Calming wind and heat haze  - solemn
Olives clinging to steepness.

Naked waves without medallions,
The metallic hum of Atlantic breakers ...

Your eyes are like two diamonds I fell into from far away
The steepness of them drowned me to the coolest point 
I fell and hurt myself, but kept on walking to find your heart
Like red rivers under the ice your blood flows so swiftly
It kept...

Jagged rocks that tip my balance,
Vein like roots that trip my feet,
Branching weeds that scratch my legs,
The chill of the wind that steals my heat,

The steepness of this endless mountain,
The wanting, longing to reach the top,
The feeling that I can’t go on,
I need to let...

slippery leaves lie
on the steepness of the yard
haphazardly on the road

autumn spokes in air
the travesty of cancer
shedding of the lovely oaks

The Blue Mist

Stepping a few feet from the trail, where
parents walked years before.

Just ahead, a few feet I saw it ascend quickly
at a grade of 30-40 degrees in steepness.

Until there was only The Blue Mist all around
knowingly, as they had back packed.

They seeing it as...

The road that has been improved and widened would’ve yielded many unexploded munitions. I’m curious how many were found and wonder how many thousands still hide unfound. Sections of the trees/grass by the road are taped off. This is for safety of any munitions and...

"With every fiber of my being, my eyes glimpse at my whole life gone avail and unjust; the sacrifice mother had made before birth was certainly not enough, wish I had gone through the flames of 
North Carolina, my lips stretch and plaster a smile...

The wide sea swells with muscular power:
surges under thundering clouds.

Waves 
in chaos
rush and tower, 
careless of steepness, 
smash 
in whirls of foam,
slam
on slabs of rock.

Until
tiring,
sighing as
rays of sunlight slice 
a shredded grey sky,
the sea’s scaly skin sparkles:
the monster settles in rest.

Vast and deep are the...

A windy blow
uphill all the way
dog running ahead
as if we are going somewhere
we are going to the edge
the very edge of a steepness

Climb
dog panting
maybe me breathing
both pulling at a leash
mine is long and inelastic
dog has a bone in his soul
he won't let go of it
I...

Corruption in the rumours and on the scenes
High profile slaps and cattle vaccines 
Taxes, levies and airport leases
Pleasure decreases and pressure increases 
Critics disappear in a bid to peddle fear
Rage and despair always lingers in the air
In the web of science and in the display...
