Best Tilting Poems

Soros with his little pet crusty the clown caught red nosed 
our country needs a king with a backbone to defend certain rights 
not this weak minded fool who shakes hands with the devil himself 
on earth a liberal puppet who agrees with killing children...

The year I became seasick
I lived in a bungalow on the edge
of a wilderness moor.

The sky and land
grappled together
for supremacy of my soul,
Inner dogs whined,
my eyes were portholes
where cats watched
the turbulent dance
of garbled mind waves.

I had to leave a wife,
but knew I could not swim,
couldn't...

The grinding millstone
The chaff invested air
The lone miller bow's in prayer
Seemingly lost in the chaos
The code of honour
Looking through the opaque
The lone miller, is he sage
Or lost in the modern age
Tilting at windmills
Is he a quixotic man
Doubtful it was a plan
His prayer said
Now he mixes
Rye,...

Tilting at Simplicity

William of Ockham 
Harbinger of today’s
“Occam’s razor”—
His simplest solutions
Bespeak not always
Accurate conclusions.

A Simple Simon
Binary approach
Style vice logic
Solutions not always
Truest to measure
Requires real
Human variety.

Heuristic methods
Abound—of course
Tied to many
Scientific efforts
But how about
The Messy?
The Complex? 

Simple rationale
On each conclusion 
May be suspect
With only barest of
Variables considered....

read you in a dewy meadow of cataclysmic ambrosia

damp feathers of grass tickling the nape of my neck,

 my eyes could sense seclusion's blossomed temptation

  'pon surmised landscapes of poetic otherworldly sublimity, 

insomuch as sonata's perceptive celestial bodies' played on

    imposing...

The pretentiousness  of I 
Tilting at windmills 
In the hope of 
Dulcinea
Little did I know that
My Shadow 
Had the only giants 
To be found...

He set his classic in La Mancha
Don Quxiote and sidekick Panza
This duet made an awful fist
Ready material for a satorist-
Sancho the squire,Don the idealist

Is truth that important,
or ignorance bliss

Your place on the Ferris Wheel,
roundly dismissed

What first must go up,
by law to come down

Gravity’s joke,
if not Heaven bound

The yes from the no,
the right from the wrong

The good from the bad,
the weak from the strong

A circular stage
on which we perform

Whose...

Multi-coloured whirlygigs
and dangling dvd mobiles
have a playful role
protecting my potted
young Blueberry bushes
from hungry for worm birds
digging up the plants
I might even add a baby monitor
making the sculpture
complete....

Ever since the beginning blood has always been spilling
And when it came to money some made a killing

The system many are milking
Therefore the balance has been tilting

Nearby and far away from flowers wilting
Where the temperatures are bone-chilling

Artist gilding
And others quilting

Meanwhile the media continues filming
And oil...

Tilting at Windmills

In this modern world, in these modern times
adventurers of the spirit are looked down upon
at least among my family and friends.

It’s all good if kept at a distance,
but too up close and personal
and it quickly becomes uncomfortable.

This...

Coincidentally stranded dreams
forgotten subconscious
before my eyes
epiphany me awake
to be woven on the wooden loom 
in dusty day beams breaking windows
with sheets conspired to bleach and twist
the bones of night to brittle truth
Muffled outside, real life noises
puncture my moment of pure realization
with time.
Blasted time - this...

After the curtain comes down
when masks are tossed aside
the applause becomes an ember
can you live with the left overs
will you devour yourself
then grow into your flower

What is left at the very end
a mind at ease or gray mayhem
were you truly loved or hated
what does the...

Head Tilting

I’ve lost my up-to-date level of 
head tilting for the 
Uncommon Certificate of 
Head Action School. In my subjects I earned the 
highest grade 
ever 
seen.
