Best Structurally Poems
Song of The Silversword No 1: ABABA mountain of some measure aligned slopes,
Silversword's statuesque uncommonness,
bikers and skiers, youth urban slang, 'dopes,'
pics of height's flowering tower upness.
Centuries of swordplay, The Word, acclaimed,
plowshares and the sorts treats its new version.
Purplish flowers are structurally framed,
like a cross handle, silver hairs orphan.
Majestic still today, handle...

Crown of Sonnets
StormThe day was fine and sunlit,
Decorated by several clouds
drifting aimlessly in the radiant ocean-blue sky.
Chorused by gentle puffs of the morning breeze,
Sending leaves on the streets twirling like
ballerinas in a dazzling and mesmerising dance.
and the trees too,
waving their twigs like hands saluting people walking...

A Canadian's Letter To Americans: a Thousand Points of Light
A Thousand Points of Light! ! ! ! !
Once a beacon of democracy
A shining light on the hill
The ‘American Dream’
Anyone can ‘make it’
Never more than aspirational
Structurally delusional
Always susceptible to its
Achilles heel of secessionism
Some of its best assassinated
Or by monied politics...

Power: Love V WhateverWhat might it take for love to conquer anger
fear
hate?
How is holistic compassion already more contagious than a-holistic self-hatred,
we-hatred?
There is more than one way to hear a**holistic here,
but they all have to do with sectarian divides, apartheid walls
sometimes felt more intimately, reductively personal,
and sometimes more transparently,...

Hill So High But UnnoticedIn its bunch is a branch structurally a twin to Rome
with seven Hills as the nomenclature of its creation.
In its Armpit it holds the granite city and Continent’s oil capital
while the twisted yew stays as the valve to its pumping existence,
while life within it is...

War of WorldviewsYangLeft: Those still capable of right thinking,
as our more civil
humane reflections
on bilateral political
and economic investment inflection,
sometimes cooperative
and democratically co-invested,
but usually just BusinessAsUsual
life remains a win/lose infested
compromising
ZeroSum political disempowering game
deflection.

Old factory was due to be knocked down and turned into rubble, recycle the materials and use the land again. A new start? Yet this building is structurally fine, a few broken windows and missing tiles, the idea of demolition is okay but you lose...

This AbominationThe twin towers topped New York City,
symbols of freedom, they scraped the sky.
Hollow mountains reduced to pity,
but a nation’s dreams refused to die.
America suffered a hate crime
as the world watched planes pierce concrete.
And religious zealots swore, this time
the devastation would be complete.
Structurally slit, as with...

A Sharp Incline In a CoreWhat is the sensation building within? Rhythmic in flows and structurally tidal in circumference. Ever ebb the waves. Ever moving. Ceaseless bursts of loops of many hue. Often found through natural waters. In wildlife and breaths of elementals. Breathing new life to the core. Ignition...

Connections Over SeparationsNot saying we're all the same,
but more same
when sane
than different
even when divergent.
My big TakeAway
from smashing bilateral Edward DeBono,
bicamerally empowered Julian Jaynes,
and bineural systems enlightened Iain McGilchrist
Taoistically together:
What is ecological healthy relationship,
in LeftBrain dominant worldview secular
scientific agnosticism
Is also theologically interactive experience
to RightBrain recessive sacred aesthetic feelings

The MiddleThis isn't the middle the beginning or the end
This is the middle of the beginning of the end
acting like children
Don't try to pretend
you can't see
The hidden agenda
within
They're telling us lies
and feeding us sin
Structurally damaged
you're letting them win
Unite we must
Divided...

Digestive DunkingIt’s time for tea and dunking
A crisp Digestive biscuit
But before immersion into the hot beverage
And to aid entry into my mug
I snap the biscuit in half
The contours of my broken biscuit
Remind me of a Norwegian coastline
With their fiords , coves , peninsulas and inlets
I wonder...

The PrideThe
pride is
all-in-one
no one’s left out
inclusive structure
leaves room for harmony
the power of the pride is
paramount for their survival
meals will be ordered structurally
males eat first kill then lioness then kits.
Male lions defend their territory
eventually leaving their pride
to go off and begin their own
though devoted to the pride
