Best Grandeur Poems

Upon glimpse of horizon when rainbow colors sprout
A tiny fawn scurries, emerging from its stealth hideout 
Strolling beneath falling petals of crepe-myrtle flowers
Glinting rays of ruby-sun through waning rain showers.

Illuminating breezing prairies golden twilight thrills
As eventide’s amber beams glimmer verdant hills
Rustling green foothills in summer’s...

Poet's ink portrays wonders so profound,
as the last crimson rose of summer fades,
verdant leaves gently float to soggy ground,
weaving a pattern of saffron, beige shades.

Autumn's theatre parades vibrant hues,
as misty fog covers frozen meadows.
Haunting pastels animate artist's muse.
as poetic palettes splash glowing prose.

Lampposts ignite with...

Red, orange and yellow fill the valley
Like a bucket of paint, spilled on the trees
Water reflects autumn's grand finale
With colorful leaves, waving in the breeze

The humming birds have left on their long trip
With clear memories, of where to return
The cherry tree is now pruned, snip...

In grandeur, a leaf of grass is no less high
Than all the glittering stars in the sky

There is beauty alike in weed and reed
When each fulfills Nature’s need

The low and the high thus in equal glory stay
When their respective roles they fairly play

When  perception...

You ask if I could drive us to the park
where no impediments of man distract.
Fierce gold and dusky pink as sky grows dark -
we witness yet another glorious act.
Creation draws our eyes to skies above -
the artistry and grandeur of the Lord.
The cosmos demonstrates the...

Those dreamy days of dulcet splendor reign
As songbirds fill the skies and buds appear
Sweet iris blossoms line the country lane
Their bearded lace announcing spring is here

The resurrection of once-frozen roots
Produces grandeur in each garden patch
As nature’s flowers don their finest suits
And nests appear in limbs...

All of Her Grandeur


Into the heartbeat of the blue sea of crystal paragon
Never calm, but constantly moving, ripples, hoary froth
Truly mysterious in its grandeur surpass attraction
Obedient to unimaginable fathoms depth

Never calm, but constantly moving, ripples, hoary froth
Unforeseen untamable freedom     that exquisite...

We have said bye to summer's horrid heat.
The dim sunrays that fall are no more wild.
Bodies will not be drenched in pouring sweat.
The soft zephyr blowing is cool and mild.

Autumn is the season we all adore.
It comes in deep auburn and golden glow.
Our earth looks...

with punishing fury
   yesternight
the skies wreaked their havoc
   a rat-a-tat-tat of hail bullets
midst wave upon wave of rain
   drenching the earth

this morn winds whipped
   and whistled
cross bleak landscapes
   occasional afterthoughts
of cloudbursts stinging the souls

Bright brilliance blooms
Rich rapture rooms


Wear wisdom well
Trust truth to tell


Live lovely lines
Feed feisty fine


Mind misty maze
Craft clever craze


Count cheery choice
Pick puzzling poise


Spread sensuous sounds
Grandeur grows ground


Seek stylish sway
Prime poignant play


Live lavish loft
Spread sparkles soft


Be beyond blame
Niche nimble name

The gleam of Autumn falls through colored leaves
in glorious glow of gorgeous rapture
ushers in enchantment to forest trees
with serenity, Autumn can capture
these multi-colored leaves slowly turn brown
an omen to come from a season's shift
gone are the leaves that tumble and breakdown
released by the North Wind...

Where sun-kissed savannahs endlessly sweep,
And acacia crowns the skies, a verdant keep,
A titan walks, with earth-shaking tread,
A monument of grace, with wisdom bred.

Oh, Elephant, colossal and wise,
Your eyes, like embers, gleam beneath the skies.
Your ivory tusks, like sun-bleached spears,
Pierce the heavens, dispelling all our fears.

Through...

When manic, I think, feel, and act like God—
     like Superman, or the world’s savior;
the rush from feeling like a demi-god
     makes me believe I am a conqueror, 

like another Alexander the Great!

Mother Nature's magnificent, all know:
     when spring imbues new life, year after year,
rays of gold feed the land, and the plants grow
     so that all of earth in this hemisphere,
from east to west, again vibrate and flow

they rose majestic and magnificent
and swirled before my eyes
they stole my breath my heart
transported floated in the sky

and to the count of seven
I stood suspended in the vault of heaven
