Short Well Knit Poems

Biking through Salt Lake City
Homes of well knit, croquet stature
With Oxford fountains flowing
Forcibly pin my eye
I pedal a block to see streets missing teeth
Bank signs, chipped paint and amazon lawns...

my teenage fancy
that flooded like pure honey
spilt, in ecstasy
on a white sheet, full of glee
as a drop of poetry

simile smiled in it
metaphors mingled well knit
with nature's fine script
nooks of my soul seemed grace-lit
has poetry found me fit?

The wind walks on stilts this morning,
it rides aloft
and does not flip a hat or ruffle a beard.

The seasoned air is as sweet and heady as wine,
The breath of life redolent with the very grape
and vine.

A man and his dog
skip along, well knit and breezy;
a hard long walk made easy

          as carefree as sunlight
that scatters dust to wherever
from every leaf and feather....

She resembled, a package so well-knit,
Like gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Like a bouquet of all flowers of Spring,
She had something that left me so longing.

Lo, this little fruit of my aspirations,
I'll never bite, lest I lose her affections.
 
 “Sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb” (Psalms 19:10)

COPLA 93 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World

The lone wolf shies away from the pack
The tyrannosaur scoffs at his kind :
Systems with it

Tiglons roam lone on the beaten track -
Fall prey the gnu foal lame and blind :
Systems well-knit

Stand alone and the pack will hunt you
Lose your integrity to live safe :
The human fate

The Overman’ll camp on the volcano
Far from the humdrum crowd’s stifling life :
Asylum bait
