Best Riles Poems

Pigtails loosen yet messed, 
twisted by pliant fingertips
of evening’s devilry…  
tracing her budding breasts,
embers gleam from a lamplight, dim…
his jerked breathing quickens to rake 
this young, tender flesh---
from pink , blood red, to pale yellow... despicable!

Invading her territory,
the blister of muffled silence
grates adolescent wails,yet…
crazed...

Story has it you used your power to run amuck
Putting fear into the people, and brides in Uruk

So the people of Unuk pray to the sky God Anu
To sort out Gilgamesh, without any further ado 

Send us something, to sort out that raging mutt
Who just...

The child is born, and they must rejoice
Alas! It’s a girl, there’s no choice
And she grows, oblivious
Of the fate that awaits, devious

She cooks and cleans, and the laundry piles
No time for books, and her brother riles
Isolated from the outside world
The beauty unveils, hair curled

Her face...

writing is struggling
climbing through tangled branches
of octopus trees

and it riles the leaves
to try to do as you please
when you're not at ease

so to pair a phrase
in the tangled web they weave
be cool as you can

words are as number
just measure the tree lumber
each step of the...

It's not supposed
to be an easy subject
but with today's catastrophe

of government intrusion
into personal affairs
it was detrimentally

inspiring rustic entanglements
of superfluous verbiage.
It had to be reckoned with,

constructively analyzed
in an attempt
to make sense

of inane activities
illuminating illusive ideals
tempting truthfulness

bestowed by lack of
meaning and honesty
It riles the masses

to believe in...

A moon interrupted; 
riles the social class. 
A native sense comes of age.

Piercing stare becomes rarefied,
unbuttons the peaks and 
kills you with a mallet.

The scared mask falls 
off the divine embrace, lets 
free the pigeons from the golden cage.

The forked tongue will 
speak only truth....

Instead of walking briskly, I often shuffle:
Watching TV I’ll cough, sniffle and snuffle:
This riles my wife and creates a kerfuffle,
Then flipping channels - her feathers I ruffle!
Such are the things that please me now!

Will nap in the chair, till dinner is late:
Or eat peas from...

Nostalgic yellow,
striped in black,
moves so quickly,
takes me back.

Nostalgic yellow,
Riles the air,
blowing tempests
through my hair.
At day's beginning
always there,
along with sunshine
brings despair.

Nostalgic yellow,
hated, mocked,
by kids who wake
at six o'clock
Windows open,
doors would lock.
In wisdom's belly
It shall dock.

Abiding by the
Golden rule,
Nostalgic yellow
takes the fool,
and in its jolting
metal flight,
Nostalgic yellow's
off...

When silence comes to surround you
and the past riles up to drown you. 
Call upon your inner wealth
when you’ve become a shadow of yourself. 
Find your way through the disguise 
of all your own lies. 
Separate the real
from all that you deal.
With baby steps face...

Much Trump business is both mundane and plain;
Has hair that becomes a big mess while in rain;
Up people he riles;
T for Trouble dials;
Common sense lacks any not having a grain.

All time and effort lay, all that's best prayed
My one last say to be at last safe and paid
Though I got strayed and had been left to right swayed
All that's best prayed, all time and effort lay

Outcasted without trial, dismissed with deep vile
Grins taste of...

Kids are funny
Funny like me
Funny to see
But kids are not squids
Nor katydids,
And
Squids are not bunnies
Katydids don’t like honey
While kids are chummy
With you
And me
And he
And she!

A child has fun
Smiles and runs
Hides from the sun
Though cries when done
But 
The wild one
Named Kyle Pezunn
Tried to be quicker
And slicker
Plus...

From one film to the other, your creative styles,
Rebels joined, save a world, then you, sacrificed a girl,
Online programmers that you had caused their riles,
Mr. Santino wanted New York as part of his world,

New bodies agents inhabit, mafia's list, you've been added,
Earned right to learn...

Respects have been paid
by those with good manners
and by the mawkish with
restrained curiosity

And now, I sit in a chasm of nothingness.
Raging seas crashing from my eyes,
whith salty rivers running from my 
nose to the tip of my tongue

My day is slate grey with
nimbus clouds abroad.
And...

another human’s art
affects directly---it
drills down into the core,
lifts up from inside,
inspires behind the eyes,
burns away the tears,
creates tears of smiles 
when a deadness & a
numbness was though to be
all that remained,
stirs up a group of angry
folks into compassion,
riles up the stagnant &
supposed hopeless into fury,
relates...
