David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Anne Will You Ever Answer

Anne will you ever Answer
David J Walker

I
What toys were projected
Into your dreams 
Were children permitted in
Dreamland back then
Or did you stand on the outside
Fenced in by the calendars of 
Another time

II
What sounds scared you
Did they come from thunderstorms
Was it a lonely wind sent to
Send you into tumbleweed insanities 
Ultimately 
Caught in the barbs of fences

III
What shadows reminded you that 
Something is following you that 
There are no walls so tall that
They can’t get in that 
Can scare you as long as you keep 
Your eyes shut so tight that 
everything will be alright
In the morning

IV
I see you standing silently
On the other side of the room
Packing as if there were somewhere
Left to go
Anne, you might have been 
A royal ballet dancer
Anne will you ever answer
