Best Tall(A) Poems

Adopted early after birth
Replanted back into the earth
From small to tall, a tiny root
Withstanding all and resolute

It whispered and it whistled
Every wind song that it knew
It's verdant needles bristled
Glistening in frost and dew

A friend to all both large and small
Seeking refuge in it's shade
To rest...

Of the charming flowers, summertime will bring-
there's one that looms tall- a stately king.
When in bloom, it stands apart-
captivates my heart!
Sunflower
unveils 
its power.
Petals- flames of gold,
flare from center dark and bold.
Framed by landscape under sunny skies-
nature's work of art- showcased before my eyes.

A poetess, I found so rare,
Cute or sweet? I can't compare.
Her thoughts soar high above the crowd,
A poetess, unique and proud.

She is a nut with a tough exterior,
But inside, a tender tree grows superior,
A seed of potential, slowly taking root,
With time and care, it'll bear...

The lighthouse by the rocky shore
stands tall, a tribute to the past,
recalling days of sailors’ lore.
The lighthouse by the rocky shore -
forlorn – gives forth its light no more.
May glory’s recollections last!
The lighthouse by the rocky shore
stands tall, a tribute to the past.

The Peak
Nothing easy in life to achieve 
But only failure is achievable stress less
The road to success is full of obstreperous
I latter discovered that
 End of a war is the beginning of another 
No matter how the hindrance 
Termites built their house 
No matter how...

Who is Bigfoot’s Great-grand Daddy?

Whether living in a city or on the mountain side,
People from the world around astound us with their views.
He’s nine-feet tall, a hairy thing, uprightly he flees astride.
Only tracks are left behind and the mystery accrues.

They say that Big Foot does...

Breaking free from collusion

A watch tower stands tall a look out in the circular prisons 
surrounded by wardens laying down prescriptions and rules
with us in the centre fragmented in dead ends and schisms
mirrored glass no one inside we internalise as obedient fools

At the gate high...

Through a wooded thick in a forest of New England,
There exists a secret circus called the Craft of Ringland.

Meandering through a meadow one night before the forest's mouth,
I heard a melody humming in the wind that whistled from the south.

Following the tune towards the twine...

Too many people hoping now, and wishing things would change
afraid the Five still in the race are acting pretty strange
They can't believe what's going on, dishonesty brings shame
pass the buck to someone else, when they're the ones to blame

Party doesn't matter much, they are cut-throat...

He entered my life like morning sun that coats the horizon like paint on canvas, that captured my heart.

He entered my life like a butterfly that floats in a net and helped me forget all the tragedies that engulfed my soul.

He entered my life like...

In the telling told, the stories unfold
Of days long faded, in history's hold
Grandma, your presence, a memory gold
In our hearts engraved, for times untold

In Leteng's remnants, your essence we find
Folded carefully in our minds
Each tale, a treasure, to keep and bind
A legacy of love, forever...

Lavender turkey eggs amid purple straw hat
With fake turquoise frosting, 
She sits next to me in the hard pew
What kind of sugar ants will be parading up here now?
For I see this is real frosting she has added

A two-year-old wearing an engaging smile 
Sits next...

The glacial slope is tall, a vast and perilous globe 
It has been a whiteout for nearly three days now
We do all we can with our equipment to maintain our footing
The surface is so uncertain, but the summit is within reach 
5 am, Thursday (?),...

Teeth on your neck,
Warm breath
And the kind of heat
Only another body
Could create
When it touches you-
Fingertips colliding
In the darkness,
Folding lips
Devouring,
Dividing and conquering
Everything left to be
Discovered-
We are quickly running
Out of secrets….
Paper skin that inks
Red
For days before fading,
Waiting to be
Rewritten;
I've never known
A love
Not defined by
A purpose
For pain,
A tolerance...

If only I could ... go back in time and like a mystic change my life path with 
a magic wand.  So, many things I would do different, so many things I could
change. Back, back to my childhood and the day I watched my...
