Best Level Off Poems
A Mountain From a PileHow far do the ripples spread, when eventually we die
Probably stay in the locality, level off, no major outcry
But let’s say we’re famous, suffering unexplained death
The ripples keep expanding, growing further in breadth
See the grotesque nature of spin, is to overplay a...

The Pursuit of ExcellencePart of the denominator,
extraordinary matters level off
and find the lowest trough.
The so-called experts
joust with the pretenders,
and they are wrestling still.
In days of yore the Seer
would proclaim the truth,
accepted by the old, the youth,
whereas for now we...

Golf Balls Did End Up UnderGolf Balls Did End Up Under
I just looked outside and saw so much rain
And hope that it all will go down the drain
Until one day again it finally did level off
We could play another great game of golf.
Fairways together each green should link
But when you...

Championship
Crouch on the balls of your feet
lean forward in suspense
hands and arms out
as though reaching for something not there
staring at the body in front of you
listening to the soft boom, boom, boom, of the ball
see a pass
lurching forward
grabbing the ball
all instinct now
sprinting
dribbling
nothing but...

Take OffTAKE OFF
Outside the windows grass swathes rotate: we sway
Up and down the dozenth wide runway
To reach the final launch-point for our sally.
Engines whine up and down till finally
Pilot gives power and our necks are pushing
Back into the headrest cushion.
The wheels rumble disconcertingly now,
But...

DenominatorBehold the bold denominator!
extraordinary matters level off
and find the lowest trough;
so-called experts mingle
as they winnow fact from fluff.
Prophets' exclamations gone to dust,
totems crumble, metals turn to rust,
we try for clarity, a bitter pill
for those who trick...

The Tyrants DenIn tribute to Lt. Col. John W. Bell,
B24 pilot during WWII.
He was an ace in his flying machine,
Could spiral downward at full speed,
Then pull out and level off just in time,
To touch down safely on the landing field.
Well taught...

The VisionaryHe talks and acts accordingly
On his beliefs and visions
He spans through successes
Failures and break-ups
He embarks on countless trips
To the realm of ideas
And crystallizes them
To profit the system
He tends.
He has direct-dial button
To the souls and aspirations
Of his followers
He is always running
Since he knows
Time is ticking...

Where even the cute ones can bite you at least.

And people dance samba with joy (and no strife).
C is for Canada, polite and so nice,
Even their insults come with advice.
D is...

I Don'T Understand- -I DON'T UNDERSTAND
I don't understand the virgin snow
Why does the rain behave so
Why is the crystal rain drops that turn to ice
Why level off and cause so many accidents
But most of all
Why is below thirty-two the temperature of things that brew
Why does rain turn to...
