Summiting Poems | Examples


Premium MemberNever Say Die

Navigating every path and summiting
Every mountain; climbing peaks and 
Valleys indefatigably. They don't give up, the...
Epitome of tenacity. Nothing weakens the
Resolve of ambitious go-getters!

Strong-willed and naturally driven to go 
After what they put their minds to and never 
Yielding to adversity. They thrive instead!

Determined to accomplish any goal, however 
Infinitesimal or gigantic, easy or hard.
Endlessly never-say-die in spirit and verve!

Tar Sands

This new creation by demand
not summiting some useless stand,
that when you spit it in your hands
look now, behold, its called tar sands!

But here, the handle, 'BRASKA'S pan
reject this omen, the farm man,
the food was put here by God's plan
the soil's our future, planting's scan!

The outside coastlines building up
to droll out water, cup by cup
they call it "fracking", that's enough
we call it stealing from our trough!

They'll be a War here, not "some day"
who has the water, food ~ I pray
the bigger guy still gets his way,
and what we swallow, makes us clay!

We know God did a better thing
the soil, the air, Sun . . everything
Earth to fruition every Spring
but water, Lord, the rain must bring!

It could be vacuumed, what they do,
it's still called hacking, getting through
what else is lacking ~ feeding you?
we're interacting with adieu!

While underneath . . . . measurements lieu
is recreating . . . . water's view!

Senseless Paths of Glass

SENSELESS PATHS OF GLASS

I was young when the first bottle hit the wall
flung across the floor   below my room she was 
was crying and really trying to make ends meet

Why?

do I still not have the answers to so many
questions when chains break from 
Chandeliers and Chardonnay bottles
shatter leaving
senseless paths of glass

half stabbed half smashed shards 
embedded in life like a 
destructive knife to the heart

fluted convoluted jigsaw puzzles strewn
amidst days  of wasted time displayed 
on frozen faces giving nothing away 
picking up the pieces of a broken

Nightmare

when she flew through the windscreen
finally at rest on an apex diamond bed
summiting those frightening
senseless paths of glass

Imaginary Friends

IMAGINARY FRIENDS

Consider reaching up and
placing your hand in the
night sky
or seeing and touching
sound
flying furiously fast…
too high

summiting to
imaginary friends

Envisage palettes of neon
colours spinning out of
control
or eating speech as it
floats
bubbling inspirations
in scroll

convening with
imaginary friends

Imagine dreaming awake
navigating thoughts through
sunrise
or hearing calm embrace
sooth
until the quiet screams
polarise

dismissing all
imaginary friends

Verlenian Epoch

VERLENIAN EPOCH
[I am] from the place where white man states that, literary devices are 
     for him creatively.
[I am] commencing the era when empowerment formed in writing.
As a Poet and Philosopher of life ways, [I am] aspiring to connect to scholars.

With emphasis concentrated in Social Theory, my philosophies thrive 
     on the page.
Social Theology is a prosperous ideology that suggests we are summiting 
     as the human race.
Our languages are full circle and our image has crested.
The multifarious questions of why am I here and from where did I come 
     make sense.

This millennium must substantiate our existence to more than 
     merely survival.
Our way of life was given for continuation.
This is a reality.
The acumen states that the era of one is looking us in the face.
Do we perceive this as a greater nation?

Immortal Love

This deafening atrophy, sameness quest
though summiting by sound, I so ingest 
my frailness, owning not His field of blest!

This dropping back, or down, would this suggest
I tender the renown, and not regress
that in my heart, a frown is even test!

How do I speak to thee, in guilt's suggest
for it be all around, moral's incest ~
and to lose Holy ground, would seem as lest!

I love thee so ~ ne'er knowing, only guess
that thee are still unbound, and my love guest,
nor own the fate's impound . . . . . . . eternal rest!
