Long Poems About the Sky
#sky
Long poems about the sky. 300 words or more, most recently published poems first.
To watch the Clear Night Sky
To watch the clear night skies, with what words and with which poem or brush can I at last shine a light on the mind of the searcher,
With what can I explicitly explain the divinity and sacredness of the stars of which cannot be seen, knowing with a depth of certainty they are there without changing the meaning,
How do I express myself when magnificence is just something wrapped in mediocrity in fair comparison, when searching to expose the truth and beauty of nature in the things that I cannot explain,
To try and explain a clear night sky, is...

Dots and Lines
Above the high-rise buildings
with their rectangles
and squares of light
Above the Circle K sign
in the distance
Above the restaurant across the street's
clusters of patio lights,
in the murky gray night sky
with its blinking dots of helicopters and planes
the ISS enters from the Northwest,
just like the app said it would.
It's a bright silver dot
on the horizon
but small
a modest engagement ring's diamond

Be Positive In Your Universal Movements
Do you carry the interpretations of being a good influencer of the mind, or forsaken the brethren of mankind for the comforts of false riches
The power of self to sustain borrowed time in the province we call life resides in the heart, mind, and soul from past lives you may have upon evolution’s wishes
By the blood of the lamb, you have choices who you are, who will you become, and how you chose to live
Evil, wickedness, to appease the masses ...

The Seen and Unforeseen
I had just succeeded in shaking the world off, like a Pop! and started my journey alone up the mountain. No one wanted to go with me, and I didn’t waste any time on the offer of such an adventure.
It was as though I had been waiting on a sign from God my whole life, and had just gotten an answer, telling me I could go. I readied to get myself together. I felt blessed with a mind that lay wide open to receive such a treasure and began the journey. I was going to write a book. And even though I had been thinking about this swell book since I was a little girl. I didn’t know...

In Windowpanes
That each dull day and each despairing act
Builds up the crags from which the spirit leaps.'
- Phillip Larkin
I
Framed in grey the drab light
spills from white expanse;
reaches over the goings of many,
their eyes swimming in conformity,
heels pounding the firmament
to somewhere gone meandering,
catching a sideways smirk.
Feeling the midday confusion,
striding along with purpose,
the many among the few notice
where everyones direction points --

Scanning
Mans' is to plant toes in sand,
unfurl fist from hand, hitch
to any wave that waves back
and hope it's foam soul
consists of nutritious bits and plans.
Wade and hope for wet walls of fish
spraying mist that turns
any dime or dollar ditched for wish to splashes tall and grand.
Off shore because you miss
being drenched in droplets
you once dropped off of
that insist on flowing along long
and glistening strands
to distant lands.
Hop on and hope you've not been tricked
by ship...

It’s Like Thunder, It’s Like Lightening (The Deep)
Oh, my Earthly Queen, you have granted each of us legs to walk upon your vast land
One of us shall covet your mind, your heart, and becomes your immortal man
The rose insignia you pledged unto your sacred temple, an imposter by reason and rhyme
Unto one of us you shall seek love as it shall pour as the sands of time
Close your eyes, think back to the Garden of Eden there were two of us
Adam and the Snake, you were beguiled and there you placed your undying love in one of us, your trust
One entity you brought back
To share upon...

Into The Deep (A Queen’s Resonating Whispers)
Soft fragments of my heart extended to you
Bridge your fingers into the empty spaces of mine
Pull me closer, alliance we stand in bare truth
Hips to hips, breath to breath
Allow me the autonomy to glimpse into the depth of your inner soul
Will you abscond once my existence reels in too close
Lips to lips, body to body, closer than most
My scent your skin wear, my name upon you lips you shall mummer unrelent
A naked canvass I feverishly lay
Parting the aggressive nature of my...

kite flight
No. 3 from The Children’s Collection]
“True courage is like a kite; a contrary wind raises it higher.”
–Jean Antoine Petit–Sennpetit–Senn
kite time
is flight time,
as night time
is quiet time.
i'm looking for a big, fat breeze
to lift my kite above the trees,
for sitting here upon the earth
cannot reveal its true flight worth.
long tail
is strong tail,
but prong...

man in the moon
The moon is a reminder that no matter what phase I
am in, I am still whole.”―Unknown
the man in the moon
carried a bundle
of sticks on his head,
his banana-rush
katta cushioning
the brunt of the weight.
he whistled a tune
to keep his trundle
but one step undead,
for the evening blush,
by his reckoning,
could not lag too late.

The Island Life
Deemed paradise by many
surrounded by way
beaches that go on for miles
not a locale many want to depart
A destination that required a wait
curtesy of the "gift" called Covid
kūlohelohe splendor in excess
and historical significant in the country's story
Warnings about the coconut lāʻau
eight in my bro's backyard
didn't register
until learning about the coconut to the head fatalities
Location, location, location
mantra of the real estate business
though less house, more backyard...

SHADOW DANCE (7-23-2000, Galveston Island, Texas)
morning sun
throws its warm gold
across upon into
my shirtless
back
as its all embracing
bright light
brands this long road
up ahead of me
as i ride
and roll on
my bike
ever further
into this strong
western
salty gulf breeze
as my shadow
precedes me
along this remote
open beach road
fleetingly hiding
in other shadows
i occasionally
pass through
along my way
where larger tree shadows
so...
