Best Jousting Poems

The plain song moves 
Drifting on the wind
Flags riffle
At its passing
A nervous horse
Prances and kicks
Death pauses
Wipes his plate 
For rich feeding 
Combat approaches

Medieval times
A time of splendour
With gallant Knights
Ladies so slender

Jousting tournaments
The ladies all squeal
Exploding of hoofs
The clash of steel

Enter the Black Knight
To a round of jeers
The Red Knight enters
To resounding cheers

First pass no foul
They try it once more
The Knight in Red
Slumps to the floor

They carry him...

I dreamt a great knight was jousting for me

His lance tossed the opponent from his steed

     In great joy I reveled

     But soon felt dissheveled

When mask was lifted, Nancy Pelosi!

With his arms on knees steadies his lance
Searching for breath gives him a glance...

How scenic is phrenetic fantasy 
While fulminating in the manic mind? 
It's hidden in synaptic revelry, 
Articulated, yes, but hard to find. 

The minor absolution one demands 
From higher born authority than self 
Is often held by strangers in strange lands 
Or brazen, raisin boxes...

Two jousting robots

In their purple helms

Red and blue carpets

Cling to the kings they serve

And serve themselves indeed

Two jousting robots

Fly forth with self poisoned thrusts and

On noble burros they ride

Side stepping the sharp jabs

Half heartedly fought

Shame and glory shared

With sly elephantine smiles

Battles fought for themselves

Royalty drowned...

The little servant upon the motley colored stead riding the ironic militant donkey           
Lowering the wit a marotte lance raising the shield a stone of scone doughnut        ...

If you are going to attempt a waltz in a spotty teapot costume complete with a lid then do remember not to partake in tea drinking beforehand because the liquid might ruin the material and thus render the authenticity of the costume. People then would...

A macabre dance
with whatever
the subconscious
drags into my dreams
scuttling my already
fitful sleep....

You really haven’t lived life fully
Until you’ve raced down a mountain
In the rain
On a muddy, slippery trail
In a Bobcat side-by-side utility vehicle
With a twenty foot long section of twelve inch culvert
Teetering precariously on the vehicle
Trying to hold it under one arm
While attempting to steer with...

horses, lances, arrows, fire
they reenact the war of the roses

the outdoor setting
has been erected next to Costa

outside on the ground
napkins, zarfs and stirrers 

and half the audience gets their
medieval caffeine hit 

that encourages us to yell and whoo-hoo
and pay attention to history

they encourage us to...
