David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

On An August Evening

On an August Evening 
David J Walker

The parade is a  
Next door 
neighborhood event

I have lent my
Interests  

Sent my swagger
Rattled old sabers 

Resurrected past matters
Memories scatter 

Yesterday spent 
Listening from a perch
On my back porch pent

Watching fireflies in the heat of 
An August evening
