Climbing Poems

The Life of an Adventurer

A thousand ships through the dark nights sail,
to mysterious lands and adventurous trails.
With a thirst for life, I cannot rest,
when one is finished, there comes another quest.

I travel many paths into the unknown,
with each path completed, I know I’ve grown.
Though dangers lurk at most every turn,
I sense I’m protected; I have no concern.

I try new

Climbing Roses and Kitty

 

My kitty, Harry climbs tall red brick walls,
alarmed, I could not believe my eye balls;
while I trim roses climbing,
up, up with perfect timing,
in the garden-  he leaps and never falls !

CLIMBING GHANA

Courage was what fueled Nkrumah’s flame
Loyal he stood through storm and shame
Integrity carved in his every stride
Memorable his name will not subside
Beyond doubt Ghana’s finest head
In spirit and in stories still widespread
Never bowed to foreign hands
Ghana as Africa lost a visionary leader.

Generations rise on what he gave
Hope reborn from the hearts of the brave
Ashanti drums

Climbing down

I've carried time like a coffin — an eternity.
Feels heavier than dark gravity
Devotion that cruel peculiarity;
in me, it shattered — clarity 
now it's just deathly polarity.
Structured, then... infirmity
Silence bloated with verbosity!
Thank you expendability
to reach low generality;
close my chest cavity
With immensurability,
blessed by fate's absurd 
decree I kiss the 
edge of certainty.
My unthinkability —
death offers no pity,
It's

The Alpenglow

And when i climbed the mound of grass
The sun set at a stop
Birds came swirling round
Outcrops in the light
Waves crashed under, instability;
Glass houses and rocks.

I think i got there.
I think i managed, because i could see so far out
And when i set up my gear
To yell out to the climbers
I cupped my helping hands around

Climbing up the Fire Escape in Summer

We used to climb up the round metal fire escape at Columbus School
This was Chariton Iowa, where no one saw or cared
A summer morning was the perfect time to do this
Before the sun heated the tube up, making it unbearable on our bare feet

Climbing Trees

I loved tall trees
with smooth bark 
and branches stepped
like a spiral staircase 
around a trunk.
These made 
for an easy climb.
Trees whose tops
would bend in the wind
were best, you could ride
them out to the limit
of your daring.

There was a freedom
I found at height - all fears
were ground dwellers
and barked their fury
at the base of trees
unable to

Climbing The Ladder Of Enlightenment

Climbing The Ladder Of Enlightenment

All the realizations of yesterday is how we live today
Of all the lesson presented through time can we achieve and make our way
If but a small slip a lesson is missed another attempt shall come back our way 
Through God's gracious gifts his love shall bring bliss as we climb the

THE CLIMBING SNAKE IS BACK

A long gone snake returns today.
Slithering around is its way.
With this climate warming
It’s actively breeding.
So check your own space every day.

It seems most active in the night 
And it could bring you quite a fright.
But it’s not venomous
Which surely is a plus.
And it’s afraid of the bright light.

Climbing Levels Of Spiritual Enlightenment

[]
Mirrors reflect - A truth found inside - Of enlightenment - I seach-
Through dark endless nights...
[]
To ascend to the heavens - A realm of insight - I gather knowledge and wisdom - Emerded in God's light
[]
If to achieve each lesson at hand
A step I shall take as the staircase ascends
But, if to fail
In a tumbling

Lured by East Rock

Alex Honnold free soloed up Half Dome
I watched the video from the comfort of my home
I marveled at Catherine Destivelle, when Verdon's edge she trod,
But in New Haven, East Rock lures the unskilled clod.

That rock was made before the continents split
Dinosaurs once munched the plants that grew on top of it
Fast forward time's tape 200

Dare Devil Rock Climbing

One in a billion
Can dare this amazing
Courageous rock climbing
This one second of success 
It reflects years of training 
One second of success 
Can also be a second
That takes a life
It's too dangerous 
There is a sense
Of accomplishment 
As great as the risk
The need of great strength
Experience and self-confidence 
Such gift of overcoming fear
Is a gift

At a Rock Climbing Party

At a rock climbing party,
It’s cool to observe
Both the kids who are cautious
And those who have nerve.

The daredevils clamber
To get to the top;
Neither ziplines nor tightropes
Will cause them to stop.

They tackle each challenge
With joy and with pluck
And they rarely require
Assistance when stuck.

The wary are watchful,
Proceeding with care
And feel better in knowing
A grown-up is there.

They’ll ascend

Climbing Time

Climbing time

Tredging forward and climbing time. Hoping to find an end to this darkness that has befallen me. So far it is endless and feels like it may slowly smother me. 
This darkness carries sadness and this sadness is thick and heavy like tar. It feels insurmountable and inescapable. 
I need to catch my breath,
