Premium Member Joust
Jesters dance, yet this contest is serious One maiden's favour flutters above the clamouring sound Undertones of fear, but the crowd is delirious Someone will thump and clatter towards a dusty ground Today a new hero will be revered and crowned ...

Premium Member Gentlemen Who Joust
Gently probing her vulnerabilities seeking only the slightest advantage He parries her feints most delicately awaiting an opening to do some damage... When she, shockingly, reveals a secret so deep then casts aside his sword to weep ...

Premium Member Henry Viii's Last Joust
Henry VIII's Last Joust When darkness descends and all is bleak, When the strong run and leave behind the weak. Where, throughout the land, people cry for relief. Who shall arise? What devil will compete? Clothe me in armour and toast to merriment. Fit my hand with the lance to tilt my opponent. And to those in the stands, relax your apprehension. (Stand...

Premium Member My Mountain Jack Rabbit Joust
Mountain jack rabbit, grown giant as a house Came down from the hills, demanded we joust. I honored his request, brought down the house. We watched some TV, we caught a red mouse. We read some books, he wanted to read Faust. Gave him a copy, he was at home in my house. Cheese soup sandwiches and wine, reward for...

Joust Meloncholy
Such a grand memory I set aside, Passing time in the French bucolic countryside Passing lazy days away Sipping sweet, sweet wine. Lifting spirits, jousting melancholic ways Experience expunging naivete The Louvre, or the opera Blessing a bravura shrine Seeking serenity, here and now, I long to stay, this place mine...

PLEASE DON'T SPEAK SO CLOUD clouds converge overhead but only over mine everywhere else it's sunny instead so i take the cloudiness as a sign a cloud sighs up in the skies as addiction, a hopeless affliction hampers me and yes, this junkie hopelessly cries while my tears compete with a cloud's humidity i wonder about humidity's humility for it's subservient to a cloud as i...

Joust
Intricate are the patterns that Dream weaves in the darkest realm of my mind; I once saw myself walking along the seashore of gleaming golden sands strewn with sparkling gems. There were women - Fair, bald and beautiful - sprawled naked on the beach groveling at my feet squirming and moaning in the scorching heat of the midday sun. I saw myself standing amid them dressed in a sheik's flowing...

Battlecreek Joust
When Kelloggs' jousts with Post, It's easy to find the host, Just look for that Ruby Red Smile, From her lawnchair seat, for quite a while, Poppin' pocorn in, With a fox's sly winning grin, She dodges the poor fool's splash, And is set to collect her winner's cash, She'd bet on that poor fool, Drowning in that puddle-pool.... One thing the fool noticed with his last...

The Joust Sonnet No 3
Context each a feature, joust by name- Whose length of lance shall contact be made first Both are measured equal, and held the same But only one shall win, the other cursed. And intricate does a magical reform Both horse and armour contribute to show; Some skills, that to entice shall new inform Be something that the other didn't know. Where this...

Joust
Jousting is not done, but he was adept at it, I tried to learn, but dropped most of it, He showed me the sapphire, and then a Zephyr, and then his bag of tricks, he told me if you see through the sapphire, and catch the light through zephyr, in a focus on jousting sticks, a magic would happen, and you would joust automatically, without having to...
