Focused Penelope

Penelope had a defiant high chest
Was it real? Many wanted to test.
She ignored men.
Outstudied them.
Became editor of Science Digest.

Beauteous Moments

From "The Defiant Haiku"

I wonder in what dream one hundred
Years from now he can write Dragonflies
In meadows my little boy – who is fall asleep!

Defiant

Walking away was 
the strongest thing
She ever did
Although her heart
 still whispers and
Her body betrays
His lustful touch 
she still so desired

Palpable Blackout Poem

Disastrous
upended
trajectory 
again and again
bucking efforts
a palpable sense
shifted
knowledge 
even among the most defiant
believe the writing is on the wall.

Defiant Grover

Grover Deaver drove his diesel down to Dover--
Down to Dover in the state of Delaware.
I told Grover that his rig was overloaded,
But Grover Deaver said he didn't care.

This Old Fence

How in the world is this fence still standing
Taking punches from winds so demanding
With a defiant grin
It refused to give in
Till my dog sent it down in a crash landing

Bannon and Bats

Bannon and Bats

Bannon and bats in belfry have been;
They then did it over and over again;
Not self-reliant;
Appeared defiant;
Leave us alone so we can say Amen.

A Marker Abandoned

A final remembrance,
stuck in the ground
an unspoken milepost,
lost to be found

Standing defiant,
with time as the judge
a marker abandoned
—memory begrudged

The Revolutionary

    posture, strident
      passion, defiant

    discipline, sacrifice
      one for all
        
    sheds no tear for
      those who fall 

    his ego small   
      the Cause is all

Ink

Ink

Indelible etchings
ingrained on a stone hearts
insatiable desire.
Icarian escape
igniting defiant
incantations of hope’s
inescapable truth.

Pinholes and Pendulums

Visualize the interaction of the energies of people’s lives as pinholes and pendulums.
  Shimmers reflecting streaks of god’s light
    Through pinhole instances
      Which illuminate the infinite,
        Defiant night.

Pride

defiant
     disdain
haughty
    self-reliance
envelops,
   then
     devours..
the proud:
taunts
provokes
    distrust,
if
never
unlearnt
becomes
    marooned
on
   an
     island
       of
           one..
..alone

PICKINGS

I’m not a dwarf or a giant
But the male version of petite
I’m the right size and defiant
And not so easy to defeat
That bitesize word is horrible
But you know, I’m a cannibal

Fall Celebration

Lucia drowned herself in water fall.
Her negligee meant for a celebration.
Now, she’s swept away by her own tears.
Climatic are the heights of her despair.
In the throes of mourning, she’s defiant.
Fall celebration ~ now climatic mourning.

Independence In Each Sentence

word jurisprudence 
along with independence 
found in each sentence

in grocery cart
out from Ukraine they will start
their town blown apart

Putin defiant
while he had been a tyrant
and discriminant 


plan formulated 
while they had contemplated
would be elated

The Maple Leaf

I see you there in forest deep
When the world is still asleep
You ...the defiant one
With your hardened backside 
Turned to me

And I ... hearing through frozen ears
The cracking whispers that you speak
Before you fall in utter silence
The last leaf of autumn
At my feet
Categories: defiant, autumn,
Form: Ode

Dancing On

Winds of almost Spring
Honing ice knife blades
In shaded canyons
Crackling through leafless twigs
Slapping falling sap
Against bent defiant trunks
Newly filled with sustenance
For tight knotted baby buds 
Twisting constantly up toward
Ever giving sun
As Winter retreats
Again

The Transparency of War Paint

Submerged skin deep
in solace,
you play trickery
in your silent rebellion.
Soil claims sanctuary 
on defiant children
like your veil lingers.
You're still sweet.
Sheepish smile behind war paint,
we're not so different 
you and I.
I too have bled music
during my vow of silence
and given myself up.

Invisible Man

I am your invisible man,
Who is weary of revelations.

Warmth from a rub,
A cry, and the tremor
Are all within sight except your love,
Which remains defiant.

I drag a corpse
Whose funeral
Is kept at abeyance
Until you see my face
Every time you unbotton yourself
For your visible men.

The Rotten Luck

Mountains I tread break to rubbles;
Arts I sculpture wane to scribbles;
The defiant paladin has effaced from presence
And a gruesome ghost is left behind;
God despises my very existence
Burning this life he once lent;
He blunt my sword and burnt my shield
But my feral heart will never yield.

Climbers

Boot banter grows
Telling these are innocents abroad,
Flash of flesh,
And free movement,
The long vista taken
Through the window,
Fresh Segantini colours;
Not long.
Treading cobblestones,
Draining clear water,
Fit for march;
Like a train,
They snake,
Towards defiant, misty, 
White caps.
