Length Poems - Poems about Length

No more pride

Abusing the meek,
Manhandling the weak,
Pleasure, if you like to seek,
Thinking that they don’t speak,
Your life becomes very bleak,
Once the torture reaches its peak!

People will no longer be mute.
If you change not your pursuit,
It will bring down your repute;
Very bitter is its fruit!

Become not ‘The Narcissistic Sun’;
You will be liked by none.
Permanent is not your power;
Hour

Touch with a Pole

If I wouldn’t touch that with a ten-foot pole,
why would I touch it with any other length pole?

Life is no length of happiness

Know, life’s no length of happiness,
Imbued ‘tis in uncertainty,
Life’s little but imperfectness.

What defines life is fleetingness--
An artwork drawn on sands of sea,
Life is no length of happiness.

Scarce is eternity its case,
Nor its goal nor end ever be,
Its nickname is imperfectness

That gives to life meaning, no less--
A raft to rescue from mid sea,
Mere ticks define life’s

A wolfs embrace

There is nothing like falling for a wolf.
To which you would do anything for.
After once wounding the wolf,
there is not a length you will go to repay the wolf.

For allowing his fangs in your neck
means his bite may redeem your sins.
So you let him bite and hope it is hard enough
to leave you unconscious of

Not One Inch Has Length

Heaven has not left
the long dead bone,
alert mouse whiskers,
still move the seven seas.

At the beginning and the end
there is nothing to come,
that has not come and is.

Mammoths stride
a thousand leagues,
over a single blade of grass.
One small sparrow -
an Ark for infinity.

All that is,
is but one single event.

The speckled hen
lays worlds within worlds.

The unbridled beaks of

Full-Length Daydream

I smoke a blunt
barricaded from the harsh sunlight
by a striped canopy.

You're taking a shower,
I daydream of full-length mirrors,
and soapy brown skin.

The post card in my hand
depicts the Roman Colosseum.
Gladiators are still hopelessly fighting time.

It's 1985
the world, as usual,
spins on like a tossed coin.

Make love while you can.
Find the lady in the shower,
wherever she is,

don't just

Arms Length

I want to write to you the endless paragraphs I dream about sending you,
Then shut the door behind and never look back but what good will it bring?

You’re too good for me, and I hate that. 
I’m fragile, and clingy,
One wrong move and i’ll crumble. 

I hate you, I love you,
I wish you knew how

A Length of Time

combing my unkempt hair
unraveling years of not caring
my freedom knotted with reckless abandon
untangling each strand of dissatisfaction
cutting as curls fall away
each length a strand of injured time

The Length of Time

The Length of Time

Sometimes it takes the length of time to get us through our life,
And Sometimes it takes a length of time to see us through our strife;
Sometimes it takes the length of time to heal our troubled past,
And Sometimes it takes a length of time to prove that we can last;
Sometimes it takes

Farmers To Not Forget Snakes

Planters who have to toil
To have some food boil
And the Digestive oil
Start with 500 AM Soil,
The Morning’s Freshness their strength;
The surest way to take it to a length.

Farmers should early toil
In a cultivable soil
But not forget snakes that goals spoil
And The Carefully Planned foil
By simply sliding in to coil.

Snake could deal with a planter,
In his

At Arm's Length

Just when we thought
wars were well and truly over,
done and dusted -
Russia invades Ukraine.
No mettle for friends
to take up arms.
to don the coat of arms
and fight tooth and nail
to quell the invader.
Instead its alms that are offered
and sanctions to starve and demean
the invader's will to fight.
It's a new World Order 
at arm's length.

Arms Length

I avoid people who try to put me in their category ~~
                       when I know in my heart who and what I am.

Almost Spring

almost spring
the cobwebbed corners
of the garden shed

The Length of the Sky

The length of the sky
has no set limit, 
allow me to take you
to the infinite...
to the endless blue!

Soon after the gleams
if the awaited dawn,
I wake up and find you near me;
my hands touch you softly
with gentleness,
such mornings should be
the happiest ones
for anyone feeling down
who eases his mind
by calling forth pleasing 
thoughts and wouldn't lose
touch of

Distance Length-

A distant is a length of measure going from here to there~
