Knights in Shining Armor
Draped capes cradle–
Attentive to the Unwary
Opaque assistant–
Enveloping its Paladin
The Holy Grail–
Bestow maternal warmth,
As Glow of obsidian–
Dancing through rows of maize
Tracks are left behind,
Glistening oil Sheen–
Though who protects a Protector–
Drowned by its former Shadow
Process of Assimilation (Elimination)
Boisterous grasshoppers
Cling to Buckthorns–
Invasive Outsiders–
With Bitter agency
Black Dandelions
Spread Gleaming teeth–
Plucked away,
Flossed by Feathers
Replenished Weeds–
Now Come Freshly Polished!
Welcome home,
And Good Riddance.
The Shepherd
Obedient Trackers
Plow through Weeds–
Unraveled Sage,
Performing Tug-of-War–
Laced patterns
Engulf courageous Hounds–
Tendered field–
Ignorant to Knots–
Attentive poppies
Embrace it’s game–
Tracks are Shielded–
Maternally Warm.
Put a Crease in Those Slacks
She stays up till 4
Massaging those seams–
Solitary artisan–
Drowning cracks with Starch–
If she is disrupted,
You too will be Kneaded–
Tug-of-War
To a Crinkled mold–
She will teach you
The art of Preservation–
To Compress patterns–
With misted Solitude
