Best Small Scale Poems

    parasitic it creeps between stage curtains
            floorboards collect grooves
    an advertised show that's  
bait & switch

Huxley was in his nineteenth year,
a freshman at a fancy school,
the kind with excesses of ivy,
who claimed they accepted no fools.

The academics were no task,
he’d always excelled with his mind,
but finding like souls to fit in with
was giving him a much harder time.

There were so...

Circular round, quite over and over
Raindrops fall rightly into the puddle
Grey as the darkest color except night
Making the mind to become quite muddled

The purest of reflections disturbed here
Through the puddle it is shown now aligned
Grandest creation put at a small scale
It remains still when perfectly...

All the elegance
Of small-scale
Gets swept aside
By this tide
Of tectonic pride...

The spaceship contest


First things first, start with ingenuity
A good pair of glasses to help with visual acuity
And of course a good set of directions would work
You could assemble a team and a sales clerk
Determine a budget
A trip for wire and cardboard to Target
Create a small...

...In my country children die... 
not of war...for soiling, their pants 

...here, they're beaten, until 
they stop breathing... 

...spiritual distance... 

...the forgotten on a file... 
the authorities in denial... 

...under the rug, is full... 

no one can save the tiny 
mites... 

...not a shiny knight......

Many people'll give to strangers, folks they've never met,
While to and for their closest, they conveniently forget.
Many people will give to others on the world's other side,
But when their own are in need, the same is not applied.

Many will donate time, money, items, and so...

My Contst Pom

‘Josh Kibosh’ who has only small-scale splash cash
looks for a young woman’s copious plash stash
when his hogwash commands dosh
Josh’s gluttonous slosh habits turn posh
so Madam transforms flash in his pan into pulp-mash

Organic
zero-waste stream 
permaculturally designed
and cooperatively owned
farms
are no more or less Democratic-Boutique ecopolitics

Than AgriBusiness
extractive anti-ecological 
rather than restorative-ecosystemic therapy,
competitively owned
and Business as Usual capitalist-colonizing designed
multinational conglomerates of anthro-hubris greed,
are no more or less Totalitarian Universal Supremacist ecopolitics.

I heard a young woman farmer
raising grass-fed cattle
on her small...

WOLS EKPHRASIS
Tachiste,blot and stain,spontaneous of
the moment ,like life itself can so often be.
Small scale in composition,compulsive 
unrecognised at the time,yet literal and
long lasting,are the memories we see
Inspired by Wols ‘Composition’ c 1950
PALMER EKPHRASIS
In a Shoreham garden,scent
of blossom fills the air,a white
blaze of spring to make...

Vehicle headlights segue through the muggy day as police cars and ambulances hold 

sway as though autumn has crept into a summer's day and flora and fauna 

do not know what to do until this glorious English summer returns; as though 

the Gulf stream and...

The natural& the normal,synthetic yet,small scale,regular and the 
irregular, embossed.Illumed in the artificial light .Drawings and legible forms intrique and beguile creating mind-games in memory.
Characature & cartoon avant-garde of the geometric in three dimensional desire....

SONNET-IN-PROCESS: Power of One

Words of concern, friendship, simple chatter
Will keep one from those dear, dear therapists
The power of your talk, a small matter,
Is oft the thinnest thread this side of death

We talked before machine and computer
And designer handbags, shoes, and cellphones
That wisdom of grandma, uncles,...

In a wide street of commuters and passers by
rare is road disorder, measured in a small scale
busy minds, walking legs, punchers of devices,
a quick censors and smart gadgets top the stats
sitting, walking, eating or talking, one powered tool is present
life has evolved, blood has turned...
