The Tallest Tale Is True


I wish lie could see,
Justly of truth as so be,
But lie's wish does flee...
Far away truth eye's decree.

Tales, love tells are often so high
For eyes to catch up,
But which, mind's wish could swallow?

Why won't lie be blur,
Not as life moments defer?
But how light prefer
Beyond possible threat's stir...

Tales are often so high, love tells...
Eyes up to

Ode to the tallest mountain peak

O thou world’s tallest mount of might, 
Like a gawky adolescent,
Added hast thou to thy old height,
I bow to thy quickest ascent.

Thou, with thy siblings so many
In the abode of hoary snow,
At fifty million years of age,
With Eurasian plate had a blow.

And where there was a roaring sea
There came tall peaks that kissed the sky--
A

The Tallest Beauty

I went to safari 
On a land far from sea 
On the ridge near a well 
Where the natives dwell 

I saw a native beauty 
Looking down a tree 
Her long legs could verse 
For a miss universe 

My heart was conquered 
By such beauty so deeply 
But the heart that hungered 
Could not have

The Tallest Tree

We all have two trees, growing within us.
Only one can grow fastest enough to weather the worst storms.
The master gardener plants the root ball, combines the mulch, and the top soil,
taking great care, to see the the two trees are planted identically.
Holes where placed, depth of the trace, sunlight exposure, and supportive rods, to withstand

The Tallest Palm Tree

Look up to the majestic sight
Towering canopy of green
Wide-reaching fronds
Bold, confident, courageous.

A tale thrilling to tell
Hurricane eruptions,
Of seasonal disturbance
Bold, confident, courageous.

Morning sun-rays filter now and then
Blocks of color
Slight variations of gray
Stand bold, confident, courageous.

Baby palm look up to the majestic sight
Amongst others on sandy beaches
Aspire to tell stories of survival
Stand bold, confident, courageous.

New plantings, appearance

The Tallest House In All the Land

There was a time they were too young…too young to understand.
When their parents told them how they lived in the tallest house in all the land

Although they knew their parents to be loving, intelligent and wise
they also knew every house in their neighborhood was exactly the same size.

There came a time…one day when their children

The Tallest Tree

Were I a boy of nine, or ten,
I would climb the tallest tree, and then,
Leap carefree from the highest bough—
Free of the fears that find me now.
Do you recall when you were ten?
And could you likewise be again,
What exploits would you dare to try—
And having not a reason why?
Perhaps I am too learned now,
Too wary

World's Tallest Elf

There once was a strange elf raised in North Pole
Who loved Christmas thrice more than his fishbowl
Far way too tall to excuse
Santa had to break the news
Time for Elf to surprise Dad in Seoul

The Tallest Oak Tree

Once upon a time I was a small child. I ran up to the biggest oak tree and stared up at the tallest branch. I imagined what it would like to be able to climb that big oak and to hang an ole wooden swing and swing from the tallest branch. Swinging and swinging and

The Tallest Animal

Your beauty is jaw dropping
You got me staring at your gorgeous way of walking 
Those are very long legs you have
Makes you stand that beautifully tall
I wonder, if the zebras are not jealous.
I saw you walking across the road at Mikumi
You stopped in the middle of the way
Then looked at your left and then slowly

Among the Tallest Sunflowers

This youth, with its curiosity to follow dreams,
always finds us among the tallest sunflowers
that hide us from the bewildered faces
of the common people who surely envy us
for being here between sunset and darkness,
carefully drawing images of a future that could be:
choosing those colors that are a bit daffy;
and why is isolation a favorite place for
