Best Tallest Poems
Among the Tallest SunflowersThis youth, with its curiosity to follow dreams,
always finds us among the tallest sunflowers
that hide us from the bewildered faces
of the common people who surely envy us
for being here between sunset and darkness,
carefully drawing images of a future that could be:
choosing those colors that are...

The Tallest Oak TreeOnce upon a time I was a small child. I ran up to the biggest oak tree and stared up at the tallest branch. I imagined what it would like to be able to climb that big oak and to hang an ole wooden swing...

The Tallest AnimalYour beauty is jaw dropping
You got me staring at your gorgeous way of walking
Those are very long legs you have
Makes you stand that beautifully tall
I wonder, if the zebras are not jealous.
I saw you walking across the road at Mikumi
You stopped in the middle...

World's Tallest ElfThere once was a strange elf raised in North Pole
Who loved Christmas thrice more than his fishbowl
Far way too tall to excuse
Santa had to break the news
Time for Elf to surprise Dad in Seoul

The Tallest TreeWe all have two trees, growing within us.
Only one can grow fastest enough to weather the worst storms.
The master gardener plants the root ball, combines the mulch, and the top soil,
taking great care, to see the the two trees are planted identically.
Holes where placed, depth...

The Tallest TreeWere I a boy of nine, or ten,
I would climb the tallest tree, and then,
Leap carefree from the highest bough—
Free of the fears that find me now.
Do you recall when you were ten?
And could you likewise be again,
What exploits would you dare to try—
And having...

Ode to the tallest mountain peakO thou world’s tallest mount of might,
Like a gawky adolescent,
Added hast thou to thy old height,
I bow to thy quickest ascent.
Thou, with thy siblings so many
In the abode of hoary snow,
At fifty million years of age,
With Eurasian plate had a blow.
And where there was...

The Tallest Palm TreeLook up to the majestic sight
Towering canopy of green
Wide-reaching fronds
Bold, confident, courageous.
A tale thrilling to tell
Hurricane eruptions,
Of seasonal disturbance
Bold, confident, courageous.
Morning sun-rays filter now and then
Blocks of color
Slight variations of gray
Stand bold, confident, courageous.
Baby palm look up to the majestic sight
Amongst others on sandy beaches
Aspire...

The Tallest BeautyI went to safari
On a land far from sea
On the ridge near a well
Where the natives dwell
I saw a native beauty
Looking down a tree
Her long legs could verse
For a miss universe
My heart was conquered
By such beauty...

The Tallest House In All the LandThere was a time they were too young…too young to understand.
When their parents told them how they lived in the tallest house in all the land
Although they knew their parents to be loving, intelligent and wise
they also knew every house in their neighborhood was exactly...

The Tallest Tale Is True
I wish lie could see,
Justly of truth as so be,
But lie's wish does flee...
Far away truth eye's decree.
Tales, love tells are often so high
For eyes to catch up,
But which, mind's wish could swallow?
Why won't lie be blur,
Not as life moments defer?
But how light prefer
Beyond possible...
