Irish Micky Ward.
His fists were a gift from the lord.
He weathered each punch with defiance.
Now he'll donate his brain to science.

not oak’s defiance
against the storm’s sharp howling—
but the reed’s soft sigh
Cyclone's lunacy
ferocious wind's disaster
defiance of youth
An atrocity loose
Across state of Ukraine
Annexation Russian
Arms raised in defiance
Against staggering odds
An iron curtain drops
Agamemnon awaits
Love’s infinite cliches glue me to this earth.
In the end, we are, yet, nothing but dirt.
For what it’s worth,
Entropic defiance is life’s tender hurt.
Phoenix rises from its death
Renewal always comes at some great cost
~ Rebirth an act of defiance

Effusive as unkindly
traits may be
They factor as impulsive evidence
of choice
Unbroken as futile swords
felled a seam
Adroit patterns drew themselves
a gaudy noise
Form:
Forest floor covered, footsteps echo of breaking branches
Sunlight trying to break through cover, unyielding in defiance
Small animals scurry out of sight, hiding in the trees.

Bow your head down Aries .
Bend over.
Not out weakness,
Because of love of yours.
Emphasize defiance
By containing an unbearable burden,
Not comprehended by anyone yet.
Even the birds are quiet now
Gone to hide beneath the bough
Clouds a bitter gray
The storm in defiance roars
Then beats its fury on the shores
And we, for mercy pray
When stormy turmoil assails your boat
Desperately struggling to stay afloat
Drop the anchor; sever the chain
Endure on deck; embrace the rain
Proclaim your defiance with opened throat
I am company to the serpent,
a dazzling chariot of defiance.
sword of omens,a beast of suspense
delivers it's cocktail.
all harbingers of flesh dipped crosses
in cages for the watchers.
snow-smothered season
defiant daylight dwindles ~
penguins parade past

How did he drive
those cars that fast
Far past the limits
of traction and time
Speed as his master
death as his
mistress
Chasing defiance
the sweetest
of wine
(Juan Manuel Fangio: March, 2023)
The lone wolf has been an icon of self reliance,
independence and authority defiance,
when in reality, the lone wolf leads a very harsh life indeed.
The lone wolf is alone because the pack forced it to leave.
She stands
alone in her defiance
a late bloomer
cold rain shimmering
on her longing
to be
fulfilled.

SCIENCE
The month of March is the arch of science
Love is the worst and best defiance
Can you tell me that we are confidence
Let's redefine everything of convenience

The Devil comes in the form of an organization.
A group of people bent on harvesting my defiance.
So that they may go home and feast at night.
I had not even finished unpacking.
In this rancid new home.
Sunrise
Pencil drawing on the prairie
Creeping
Toward a crested defiance
Stretching
Fingers of doubtful warmth
Teasing
Old bowing white birch
Chasing
A memory's mist
Answering
The prayers of darkness

There's strength in being bent, askew,
for in nature nothing is straight on cue.
Trees lean the way the wind blows.
Streams carve the path where water flows.
Bending to flex and bow is not compliance,
For resilience resists, reworks defiance.
Listen to poem:
The long guns trained upon my fragile refuge,
yet still to find forgiveness in contrite cadence' known.
Will you discover the dream has died-
in defiance of a love so giving...
to find the day's child-like grasp,
of world and wonder worth living.
Quid pro quo my darling, yes or no?
Press play.
Caught within an erotic cold war,
control.
It’s not acceptable to bend the knee,
break it.
My desire outweighs your defiance.
Give in.
It’s our sinful hierarchy of hunger,
my dear.
Into silence,
that is where poets go to weep;
Volcanic fountain pen an act of defiance;
Emotions erupt blanketing the page
into silence;
Words fall like shattered glass
in the form of hearts and violence;
Feelings can finally creep
into silence.
