Best Knights Poems

Do not
despair my friend,
there is still hope for a better world,
for us to make:
kinder,
nobler,
juster

the dawning of a new era,
an era,
of love and understanding.
 
Look
there is the cavalry of the righteous,
all set up to mount their horses of
virtue.

Now,

Dearest damsel, thou art my life
If thou want for food, it will always be there
I will offer confit and other gourmet fare

Whatever jewels ye desire I present to you
Be it Australian opals or Colombian gold 
Dearest damsel, thou art are my life

The ravages of nature...

Redemption Knight

He rode the wind on mighty steed
He drove it fast to gain more speed
To win the maiden: noble deed
As he galloped in the night…

He found his damsel in distress
With dragon claws clutching her dress
Disheveled hair and heart astress
As he galloped within sight…

One swift leap...

"The Vanilla Ice Cream Knights and The Raspberry Queen"



"You’ve been spooning
too much Vanilla Icecream”, 
she advised the buffoon

all the feathery self-blustering chirpers 
parted way, she had loaded guns
she positively glided into the room

“Diamonds my old bean,” she grinned,

“have no use for vanilla or rocky road...

i can never tell you how displeased readers 
  
   are by that position    the singular 

moment when nothing makes any sense

to them at all  but only to a few brilliant pebbles

We’re coming out of the caves
We’re moving into the Lime Light
It’s now ‘cause the time’s right
The bold and the brave
We’re here to tear down the old
We’re moving into the future
The New better suit ya
The brave and the bold

The age of Reason’s before us
There’s no more...

A summer Saturday night brings them all out grates shining
spit polished chrome, driven by bald men with pates shining.

Candy apple red antique corvettes with white wall tires
soft topped convertibles from Isadora Duncan's estate shining.

Well preserved women with beehive hair in leather bucket seats
go out for...

The knights in shining armor have all died
the damsels in distress are left...distressed
what once was chivalry and manly pride
by silence in the fight is now expressed

Where are the men who knew the right from wrong
who'd come to save a weaker one from pain
perhaps they have...

A knight fighting for his ruler's realm
His king's kingdom of psalm
With his might offers his life
Saving a king all his life

A second knight serves with bow
And a deadly arrow to throw
Aiming at enemy's clout
Mouth of his sting without pout

A third knight battles like a gladiator
Using...

Spirited knights from a long ago age
Were transported to this century
Seeing as they had no foe to engage
They moped around aimlessly

Before their doldrums turned to rage
They sought out a job agency
That would strive to find them a good wage
Due to the knight’s urgency

But the hitch...

As long as its right in line with the knights
hindsight of the plight during the frightful night

While writing a fine sign trying to be kind...
