Larger Than Life: A Collaboration With Sereenaoutloud

The ocean's so large it could swallow a barge
and have space for a train and a mall.
Now here is the gist. Yes, this is a list
of things that might make one feel small. 

The size of the sun, compared to the earth;
its burning bright yellow glow
sits over 93 million miles away,
but can still burn us where ever we go.

A hurricane with its winds oh so fierce
can just smack me and knock me right down;
so I rarely go out to enjoy the breeze
when there's one blowing over my town.

The Grand Canyon and it's natural formation,
sweeping views and rocky lines so free.
When you visit don't stand too close to the edge
or you may wind up a spot for tourists to see.

there are many more things that may make you feel small;
too many to fit in this write,
but look up to the sky and for free you can feel
what it's like to be small in the night.

Excellent collab guys.
Insignifiacnce is a weird feeling - very grounding and of course its not only Earth that can makes us feel that way - sometimes the one's we love make us feel like we dont matter too.

The imagery is super HD - its like the Nat Geo channel of collabs here. Brilliant.

Is the hurricane your nice breeze? Ever get vertigo when you see the moon pass behind a tree and realize how big we are and how fast we spin, gravity free.

[mattavelli]

Sometimes when I'm lying in the grass watching the clouds, ill forget what I'm doing and think I'm fall up.

[William Michael Reeves]

Falling up. I like that a lot!!! Hmmmm....

This is a superb collab guys.
I enjoyed reading every line of this poem.
Great poets you are.

I like the way you use nature to show how small we are.even though we are small-this poem still make us feel special.

Any human being living in this planet would agree that this is indeed a great collabo.

Keep on doing the good job guys.

Yes you are right here, babies sometimes make us feel small when even if they are so small, they cry and cry and we adults do not know what to do

[mattavelli]

I agree, Cassie. Babies can be monstrous. Haha
