Best Jousted Poems

Daddy read another fairy tale and nightly prayers were said.
He tenderly kissed his little princess and gently tucked her in bed.
Pausing to gaze upon her sweet face lying in innocent repose,
He mused, "She's more beautiful than God's most magnificent rose!"

Moonbeams stroke her golden curls as...

They always made me happy, 
The camels of the wise men, 
The slowness of their footsteps, 
Their self-sufficient ben. 

Camels meant there was time, 
For the three wise men to think, 
To ponder upon their task, 
To review their role as a link. 

They were...

This piece could be, I suppose, a kind of "bucket list", but it's not about regretting all the things I wanted to do in my life and didn't, but, rather, it's about being okay with finally knowing that there just simply isn't/wasn't enough time to...

Medieval times were a time of splendour
With gallant knights and ladies so slender
They jousted in the day
Lifted skirts at night... NAY
SURPRISE! Many were transgender...

WAS IT WHAT IT WAS?

It was a time of temperance for a temper tamed
It was a time when, on beauty, was mournfulness and belligerence blamed
It was a time when a recently birthed masterpiece was smudged
It was a time for a liar to finally be judged
While...

MENTAL INSTITUTIONS SHOULD PLANT FLOWERS TO PASS THE HOURS

Dead daisies, 
deceased dandelions 
torched tulips birthed to be torn and tragically tormented
And those daisies and dandelions died due to being deemed demented 

Maples were made miserable, 
evergreens were ever sad, 
and fir trees were forced to...

About some bundle of days
Back, I lived a life of unforgettable days
Because many things happened.
I collided with a single living matter
That jousted me in many ways,
Defeated me and dazed me in many ways,
She used many techniques
Just to see me demolished.
Of course she accomplished
Her plots and...

Christmases come and Christmases go, with them comes the thought 
Of all the childhood memories that the passing years have brought

Sugar plum fairies, winged Angels, circling the snow swept skies
Broken heart, tear's and fears, crooked smile's, disguised his demise

Eldest sister fondling, dressing him up in...

A field day shoe fit for Mother Goose
  
Fruitless effort squeezing figurative juice
Pandora called triggering 
helter skelter to get loose
necessitating Bullwinkle J. Moose
to usher at yours truly 
(an aspiring wordsmith) vamoose!

Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle
went off to see a crooked man...

Mother Goose would find her tail feathers ruffled 

Hey diddle diddle 
the cat and the fiddle
when off to see 
a crooked man and woman,
whilst cowards jumped 
over moo ving little
pair of mismatched muggles,
who both walked from scan

Anxiously anticipating annual activity

Blissfully bound by bravado

Consuming cold contagious concoction

Dizzily developed devilish desire

Eagerly expecting ego's enlightenment

Feverishly foraged familiar fraternity

Garnished gowns graciously gathered

Hopeful heralded hithered happenstance

Instantly intimated identical ideologies

Jointly jousted jovial juxtaposition

Kaleidoscopic keepsake kept kinetic

Longing languid lustful longitude

Miraculous marvelous momentous movement

Nursing nocturnal natal namesake

Observing others obstinate...

The bare branches were shaking,
twigs rattled like ill-fitting teeth.


I thought:
'any moment now
the coal black lumpiness of them
will break a bough,
and all tumble down or up,
creating sky-slides of avian tumult'.


They jousted at each other,
clattering their sharp quilled feathers
like angry Black Knights.

The very air shook as they...
