Best Self Propelled Poems

Nick's descent,
            his thoughts neutralized
            words that spill out, hobbled
             ...

Sometimes I can literally feel the burn of silence. 
It’s somewhere within my bones, 
a blank slate made of heavy metal poisoning.
 Perhaps if I cut deep enough, I can retrieve it
 and find the inspiration needed to purpose
 the lonely canvas I’ve sheltered for...

Fall Of Berlin

There on the wall hangs a mixture of paint on linen,
Leaving the impression of a city besieged, encased in ice;
Purposely frozen in horror to remind the living,
Of blood oozing from the rubble into the streets.

The Red Army has encircled Berlin during the second...

Who is Sod and what’s this law
Sod’s law, what’s it for
Mend your car engine, drop your spanner
Can you reach it, no you canna
Perfectly aligned beneath the middle of the truck
Sod and his law, hard luck

Who is Sod and why did he
Let me get dog muck...

with arms outstretched 
   girl twirls as snow falls faintly
                          in a landscape of derelict white
young face upturned

I endure the presence of caterpillars while it delegates in such power 
If I wish to become acquainted with the butterfly I'd treat it like a self propelled flower
Seeking life from barren ground
There's one that holds destiny that'll soon be found
Never could imagine one suffer...

Inevitable death defines afterlife - deux

Flinty stones figuratively rolling inside
whooping out that primal 
binaural beat of your drum
ma mind haphazardly 
ricocheting axon to neuron
inducing inxs of chaos 
wreaking entropy beheld 
by beauty and the beast
enveloping means to enjoy 
sacred moments treasured

savoring, seizing, and signaling salad...

Robotic!
Courageous, fearless and Inquisitive guy!
Wild and free, I would be,
Self-propelled intelligent tool.

Pacing through the darkness!
Screeching the storms and meteorites!
Defeating radiations and wandering free!

Travelling silently through the space!
Bouncing on the moon!
Spinning around the blackholes!

Exploring the Sun, when benumbed with the cold.
Yellow, red, orange, blue and green,
Leaving...

Hibernating from the spring until Autumn,
who knows where, maybe under garden heaps,
now triggered as December snowflakes come,
the single glove now rouses from it's sleep.
On pavements fingers point accusingly
or maybe show places where one might slip,
one looked liked it was going to pounce on me
and hold...

Jungle clamour
Banter twisted like vines
Lions with psyche scars
Monkeys as crackpot sleuths
Snakes in a labyrinth guise
Parrots preen an oily beauty
Giraffes creak in rumpled posture

Immersive labelling
My colleagues salivate slippery ambition 
Pre-occupied with image
Our digital frontier, computer glitches
Terrain fighting, coffee muted
Hidden fracturing
Beasts that claw parchment cubicles
Self propelled advancement,...

Self-propelled she was
Gas powered
Protective aromatic defenses
Kept away any intended offenses

She filled a room alone
And usually she emptied them
But she was a good girl to the bone,
And enlisted in the Army elite 
The "creme de' creme"
Put her on the front line,
Turn her back to the enemy,
Screaming,...

         Pending next droplet, drip mirror spherical 
         Rolls speedily down leaf spine, drops sluggish
         Earth splatter tsunami sends ants hysterical...

Battle weary joints in intuitions arrayed lines,  
Reconnoiter the ballistic armor dish,
Spy work encounters soft voluptuous designs,
Muzzle lifted arrogant projectile as gripe ball?

Overshoot or underplay enemy rights,
Miss fit charged by the trigger happy brigade,
Blooms and bottoms out in fine rivalry points;   ...

Head-heart conspire, the plot thickens,
slowing thought flow, ego quickens,
choosing thus to negate desire,
the plot thickens, head-heart conspire.

Soul’s sheet wiped clean, karma’s erased,
for we have been by bliss mists grazed,
revealing our heart’s lustrous sheen;
karma’s erased, soul’s sheet wiped clean.

Bliss elixir for us alone
becomes boundless joy we...

Butterflies are self-propelled flowers.~R.H. Heinlein

I was beset by fetching shade and quiet.
Silky blue wave was all that lent insight.
Cynosure twilight, nocturnal birds in the air
Comely moon...
