A Giants Chair
Resting in front of me, a giants chair.
It, I know well
It, is built with despair
12 feet tall made of steel.
High back covered with stains
of immorality, dishonesty and incredible pain
Old and rusted through the years
a formidable and thunderous tone it produces
still within me
Empty now, with weak knees and an
apprehensive look I envision those
who reigned before
A mother

Giants
Is cruelty hiding in the stars deceitful play?
What a waste of heart; for them to lie in silence as dying art
For their lights just untenable promises made,
Giants: long gone before we see them as something smart
I envy their brilliance cast in prior eons relayed
Death riding light waves, but arriving late for the start
So, in

The Rise of Gods and the Fall of Giants
From icy void, a giant stirred,
Ymir, the first, his body blurred.
No sun, no moon, no stars to gleam,
Just primal frost, a waking dream.
Then Auðumbla, the cow of might,
Licked salt from ice, with all her light.
And from the ice, a god arose,
Búri, the ancestor, as legend goes.
The Æsir came, with Odin's lead,
Gods of battle, sowing seed
Of

The Giant and the Minions
Wars are wage for victory
Victories are achieved to create history
in the end history always wins
Hidden deep in those pages of history;
Draws a giant bigger ten-times the sky
Perhaps in the face of the future
Efforts were made as the giant approach
Today we ought to surf!
For tomorrow we won’t be here
Now! heard

giants of Sedona
the giants of Sedona leaned in and peeked at me
I felt like a cockroach, but did not scurry away
None of them spoke, they merely stared.
Then they leaned back into position
Was it my imagination? Had they really done this?
I stared into the beautiful sky.
Everything looked normal.
But was far from it.
There is a mystical feeling in Sedona

Victory in the valley
I've slain the giant bunny
with its bones, I'll build my bed
with its soft brown fur,
I'll make a hat to warm
my giant balding head
I'll fry its legs and liver
I'll spread its heart on toast
and with its brains, I'll make a soup
that's the part I like the most

Slaying Giants
See the little man that could
Bravely ever there he stood
Enduring every little scar
To battle giants near and far
Not using either axe or sword
The danger he was heading toward
Was met by those that he'd oppose
Wielding but his words of prose
Relentlessly they would attack
So deft of tongue he held them back
Unable to deter his aim
Defeated bowed their

Fog
On misty road
Not quite yet dark
The landscape growls
No warning bark
Be vigilant
As hidden here
Inside your mind
Uncaptured fear
They roam outside
To trap, ensnare
Grey blanket hides
The monsters there
The causeway twists
Into the clouds
Boundaries draped
In vapour shrouds
Blink too long
In hypnotic mist
Mistakes will spiral
Into it's dark abyss
Already giants
Peer from the grey
Entice you for
"a feast" they say
Hold your nerve
Be strong, be stable
Don't

Giants Listen To Compassionate Wife
The giants piled up books on the southern shore.
It was more novels than they had ever stacked before.
The elves and gnomes were scared and yelled “no more!”
They were afraid the stack might fall on their grocery store.
Why was that okay? Asked the giant’s wife, Lamour.
We thought it would be great, said her husband Gore.
It’s fun

We Are the Gas Giants
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
We do not have solid surfaces
So landing on us would be an impossibility
Do not plan to bring your colony
We are gas giants
Jupiter has fifty moons or more
Uranus is laying on his side
He has forty-two years of darkness
Then forty-two years of light
I bet you are glad you cannot live on him
The wind on Neptune blows twelve

What Happened To the Giants, Part Iii
...Now their have been sightings since that dark time,
like Bigfoot the giant myth will not die,
but as to the flesh-and-blood giant race
it is unlikely one will ever rise.
But as I explained, much loving was done,
and giant genes still remain in mankind,
like neandertals they hide in plain sight,
and one-day mainstream science will go find
a skeleton that

What Happened To the Giants, Part Ii
...Yes, I’m talking of *****sapiens,
the last human species that still remains,
when they burst out of their African home
nothing ever would again be the same.
You saw it plain with the neandertals,
the older species just could not compete,
modern humans pushed them out of their lands,
and more than often with them they did sleep.
Until the neandertals were

What Happened To the Giants, Part I
You may have heard folks speak about giants,
it certain circles that some call ‘plain nuts!’
among cryptozoological types
they’re speculated upon rather much.
And every few months on the internet,
at least if you’re into that type of thing,
you see claims of a giant skeleton,
that ‘smart people’ are always downplaying.
They say the bones are misidentified,
that they’re dinosaurs or wooly
