Towering Trees
I dream of Earth, like a prophecy,
A towering vision of trees,
For climate change, we might,
Create gardens of earthy delights, 
To preserve us all from endless nights,
If we don't, we could all be out of sight,
Our atmosphere could disappear,
Nothing and no one left around here,
Imagine forests...

Premium Member Towering Maple
Stripped from Fall's shearing
naked 
she sighs 
she groans
   As winter's wild wind 
   has his way with her.
Stronger than you, 
   am I, boasts wind,
his tempestuous howling screams
hitting hapless Lady Maple
with reckless gusts of power.

So be I, at times,

Premium Member Towering Echoes
For miles, nothing came remotely close that rivaled her attraction.
No one ever told us, but she looked like some kind of smoke stack,        
utilized for burning debris or unwanted materials from the large farm.

We were just poor kids...

Premium Member Towering Inferno
There stands a blackened tower
Shrouded in a ghostly white
The tomb of seventy two
From a day that drags on hour by dreadful hour
As we reflect upon that ghastly night
A day so many live to  rue.

From a simple kitchen fire
There grew a flesh eating blaze
That built...

Towering Tyrrany Fall Down To Ash
tyrranical intimidation
cuts down freedom 
and cuts down
love, let the 
towering tyrrany
fall to ash 
that cannot blow
blow to fire again
let the republic
rise from tis
small cinders
and grow
to a blaze
that was
once my home.

Steely Dan, Floyd all the real bands of the day Miller, Stones, subtle-base jacking up

popping quarters... drink-up cry's filling the night-air,

mid-those towering-sky's of-thunder... .

Looking
down on
those in the
grasp of its touch.
so harsh and cold it
has been named by
some who have seen
 it making ants of all.
So high above our eye
 enough to touch our
the sun above, yet so
 frail in time of flight
it bows its head down
  Oh...

Flowering and Towering

From her mind poems were flowing  and flowering,
And high above the world they had been towering;
Ability endowed,
And was  proud;
Effort to write poems God Himself was empowering.
