Mount Everest

                           treacherous paths to the peak

Pretty

her smile could melt
    ice cream on top of
mt. Everest.
she didn't think she 
    was that cute.
but her name must've
    been Just Pretty...

Melissa Campbell

On the Rockies,
on the Kilimanjaro,
on the Himalayas,
and even on the
Everest.
Sojourn wherever
you please,
my desperation 
will surely
find you.

He'Ll Be Comin' Round the Mountain

Through inclement conditions, to haul this load
En route to trek for Peace of Mind
A ton in weight rides winding roads-
An Everest of the Soul to climb...

Here I am, at the "Bottom" of Everest!

Oh well, not much more I can say.

Now buried deep, twenty feet in the snow,

I shoulda hired Tenzing Norgay!

Could never imagine the ways
Our United States flag would be blessed
To fly on the Moon and Mount Everest.

The Landfill

ever drifting,ever shifting
sifting through the mountainous debris
it often seems they never rest
like snow upon the crown of Everest
are the gulls of turnkey.

Premium Member Wondering On a Cloud

while wondering on a cloud
  it occurs to me
that ants know neither future
  nor past

although I am to a bug
  as Mt. Everest is to me
clouds
  ignore us both

Its Bonding Fear

Everest 
makes brothers
of the fiercest  
enemies
of the most
distant strangers
of the worst
ill intended
of the lost
— and the found

(Kathmandu: May, 1982)

Poor Bouffant Man

Poor man who thinks
         real ample he is, so in vain
         in front of Everest,
         is simple dwarf,
         in Sahara desert
         a tiny grain... !

Democracy

The Mount Everest,

To the hight of Indian democracy,

India won the biggest democracy,

By small,small political defeats,

In the great Indian face,

Democracy and Indian Ocean,

The two eyes!

Premium Member My Dauntless Quest

Edmund Hillary, we are told, 
climbed Everest in the days of old.
Likewise, while all mankind slumbers,
my quest is to count the numbers.
I'll start with one, but I won't be free
until I reach infinity.

Every Woman Is Mt Everest

Every woman is Mt. Everest.
To win gold medal in contest,
climb from snow-capped peak
pass via area of volcanic eruptions.
You'll end in the rift valley,
the terrain of flowing rivers,
the land of milk and honey.

Head Swollen Mount Everest

Rest of the things on this Earth to grow Mount Everest to follow suit to grow by the hight of a school going child or to the hip from the toe of his father Mount Everest has come up nearing the galaxy of stars by 2.8 feet.

Tiny Huge Man

Poor huge man who believes
              further large...
             In front of Everest,
             or grand canyon
             it's simple dwarf,
             In the immense desert,
             it's tiny grain... !

For You

I will lie
I wil cheat
I wil repeat
For you

I will crash a car 
I will climb Mount Everest 
I will set the world on fire
For you

I will empty the Pacific 
I will swim the whole Nile
I will move Kilimanjaro 
For you
