Riddle Poems: And All the Rest
31.
Armored warriors weaving.
An orb for receiving.
A nation screams while China dreams on
Holy days of heaving.

An a-tropic topic.
So anti-anthropic.
Mammoth blight of unwavering white.
Most life, microscopic.

Destiny each one mocks.

Mimics your ev’ry act.
Sunlight makes it protract.
A vigilant end but a dull friend
With which to interact.

Perilous to handle.
Brother to the bramble.
Reservoir of green, a bird’s canteen.

They’re harder to stray than to sway.
Bear wisdom, now and then.

And an edge-beveled swipe.
Hauls sixteen men on a thin man’s chest.
But don’t believe the hype.

Tales of well-known nonesuch –
How, chiefly, they’ve done much.
From cradle to grave, governs the rave
Of life and times they touch.

Some coddled, mumbled plash.
Murmur, squab for the gnash.
Easy heard in deathened din, plop of pin.
One shush, with ne’er a smash.

41.
Enchanted dream fodder
Scribed by primal plotter.
Yarns of yore, winning the snore of
Every son and daughter.

Our endowed eyes doth probe
Some yonder halo’s strobe:
Senior suns slowly swarming, forming
A coalescent globe.
