Long Stateliness Poems

White trees of massive strength holding
tons of snow never cracking and toppling,
I'm captivated by their glossiness
more than the velvetiness of roses!

It's winter's invasive silence totally dire 
that ushes the murmurs of their leaves
so distinctly flamboyant...

Perhaps not everyone would agree, but after interviewing
The Color of Blue, I discovered a thing or two. For starters,
Mr. Blue owns and proudly wears a light blue shirt, but the
closest thing he wears to blue...

I would say as if my dreams were real
and try to soothe you while you send me
yours 
as if mine would cease
I would step through the sky if stars
would make way
for spells with no end
And...

Often winter is very harsh and cold,
and yet its frozen trees are draped
in white snow and that's charming and exciting;
look for the blooming snow flowers towards morning.

Other seasons echo with mellow sounds,
many are the songbirds...

In memory it is standing still
with decrepit stateliness,
a crumbling mansion on the hill,
in pathetic loneliness.

Mama says when she was young
it was owned by a rich man
and was the nicest house in town.
Just picture it if...

The ponderous fog lifted early,
now the widening bounteous blue
makes its presence known,
my feet stay on the ground,
but my eyes climb an upward
journey passing slowly in review
and as big as passion itself.

I'm gently carried to another...

What a zenith of stateliness is ego mine! 
Illuminating my worth, strength and charm divine;
Positioned politely it does marvels many,
When sharpened like knife or sword, harms it brings plenty...!

Enriching the attributes of my inner mind,
Keeping...

The art was most masterful on the dark canvas.

It seemed as though done by a gigantic genius
Colours clashed, popped, hopped, splashed, and slashed like soap bubbles.
Shades, strips, and spots with secret sacred stateliness
Hidden puddles-puffed puzzles,...

Along the road on my way
I looked up, walking away
Boughs of yellow flowers so bright
They were a heavenly sight
Hanging , from the lined trees
With zooming around of bees
The passing cars threw fumes
Left unaffected seemed the...

Minister:

I watched the wind bend trees
and break their stateliness and pride.
With force that only God creates,
Wind pushes man aside.
I ought to know by now that wind,
invisible to me.
Can, with it’s first small breath begin
a full...

Boughs of flowers so bright

The Night beguiles and bewitches me 
as shadow deepen and lengthen
The moon shyly peeps out at me
then bursts out in splendid stateliness.

Now clouds drift across its beaming face
causing shadows to change their shape
I see first...

my school colors 
brooks brothers navy blue 
and establishment gold 
were God-awful choices 
for Catholic girls 
being educated beyond 
their parents' means. 

seventeen, out of high school 
ready for life 
without restrictions 
I was prime...

The third little pig knew how to pick
When making his abode of brick.
Of course, he chose it ‘cause it’s strong
And on that count, he wasn’t wrong…

But also, it has street appeal,
A stateliness that can conceal
Whatever’s...

...inspired by 'Anthem' by Anthony Hecht


The deft will fashion melodies
and cast them to the wind,
proclaiming hopes and verities,
uplifting humankind;
colours unbeknown'st to us
will hover and distill,
and splash 'til they're analogous
to God's almighty will.

We as students of...
