Towering Poems

Towering Urn of 911

Towering Urn of 911

ashes
scattered

Towering Above

Great men
stand taller
than the countries
they serve
Honor 
and courage
the bureaucrats
scourge
To sacrifice 
self
without
question or pause
And champion
the weak
in defense
— of their cause

(Independence Hall: July, 2025)

Towering Rocks

The towering rocks
Looking below everything
What plain is doing.

Towering Maple

Stripped from Fall's shearing
naked 
she sighs 
she groans
   As winter's wild wind 
   has his way with her.
Stronger than you, 
   am I, boasts wind,
his tempestuous howling screams
hitting hapless Lady Maple
with reckless gusts of power.

So be I, at times,
   in between seasons
   in storming times
   tossed about
As wind barrens me
   catches me again
   in winter's despair.

Towering Infernos

Dawn of the city
sunset of humanity

Light a burning ash
—darkness closing in

(The New Room: September, 2022)

Towering Hill

hill* towers midst clouds
summit transcends firmament---
as tall trees praise God

*Psalm  68:15  The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.

Beneath the Towering Beech

Where gray shadows lurk beneath the towering beech
A kaleidoscope of color seeks to linger in the space
Where bare brown leaves cover the sunrays cannot reach,
Where gray shadows lurk beneath the towering beech
Squirrels battle for nuts, while tiny chipmunks screech.
And I, I am content to observe the habitat, this place,
Where gray shadows lurk beneath the towering beech
A kaleidoscope of color seeks to linger in the space.

My Towering God--

My Father's towers
 Is strong powers 
And to those who think there're weak
Acknowledge Christ and He will endower
You with lasting strength indeed empowering...
He rules He reigns my God towers

Towering Giraffes

giraffes spend their lives
standing, sleeping, birthing, and
eating, all have horns

Towering Inferno

There stands a blackened tower
Shrouded in a ghostly white
The tomb of seventy two
From a day that drags on hour by dreadful hour
As we reflect upon that ghastly night
A day so many live to  rue.

From a simple kitchen fire
There grew a flesh eating blaze
That built into a funeral pyre
Covering  London in its darkening haze.

Onlookers helplessly looked on
At windows registering silent screams
Of friends and relatives soon to be gone
The stuff of nightmares ,not of dreams.

Too late did the firefighters come
As the flames did the victims consume
In the furnace they once called home
Daily life no longer theirs to resume

An inquiry now picks over the remains and rubble
Searching for what went so  badly wrong
Many will be called to account for this trouble
For those commemorated in my dirge of a song.


Grenfell's holocaust is burned into the national mind
Memories shredded and ripped  sadly asunder
While every attempt was made for blame evasion
By those who to  customer safety were  blind
Our  bitter grief smoulders  on from this costly blunder
Such  a parcel of  hypocritical rogues in our nation!

Flowering and Towering

Flowering and Towering

From her mind poems were flowing  and flowering,
And high above the world they had been towering;
Ability endowed,
And was  proud;
Effort to write poems God Himself was empowering.

Jim Horn

Towering Trees

I dream of Earth, like a prophecy,
A towering vision of trees,
For climate change, we might,
Create gardens of earthy delights, 
To preserve us all from endless nights,
If we don't, we could all be out of sight,
Our atmosphere could disappear,
Nothing and no one left around here,
Imagine forests of oxygen to breathe,
A towering vision of trees........

Towering Tyrrany Fall Down To Ash

tyrranical intimidation
cuts down freedom 
and cuts down
love, let the 
towering tyrrany
fall to ash 
that cannot blow
blow to fire again
let the republic
rise from tis
small cinders
and grow
to a blaze
that was
once my home.

~ (~) ~ Under Towering Sky's ~ (~) ~

Steely Dan, Floyd all the real bands of the day Miller, Stones, subtle-base jacking up
the-background,

popping quarters... drink-up cry's filling the night-air,

mid-those towering-sky's of-thunder... .

Towering Height

Looking
down on
those in the
grasp of its touch.
so harsh and cold it
has been named by
some who have seen
 it making ants of all.
So high above our eye
 enough to touch our
the sun above, yet so
 frail in time of flight
it bows its head down
  Oh tower, what you
  see, what has been
done within the night.
You see all near and
far, you wish that you
could not. So many do
   in vain, they do not
    realize what is said
 their only care is for
 what is now, but you
 can see heaven from 
 there. You know who
 comes and goes, you 
 follow upon our race. 
 You see the evil men
commit, and you can't
wait to leave this place.
