DARKNESS ALLOWED TO SHINE

It was a solace of night
Darkness fled at pin drop
Days light needed a rest
It allowed darkness to shine

What is not allowed?

You are not allowed to need or ask because you need.
Everything has been provided for you to survive debate
Also the crisis funds do not apply to you.
Homeless funds are for the crisis which you are not involved in

Job security folks

The game of chance karnolfell 
the trickster deal the threats 
by passing the little Carnes 
folk crawling into a Volkswagen 
chanting cackling mud wrestling 
spooning the Joker finally faced down 
calls in a favour from a Tudor 
Ford parked who in his old age 

forgot how to play and sends a

Premium MemberI will never allowed them to break my spirit

Running Alone

Within a crowded world, I lived my life alone.
Some dreams were fulfilled in unexpected ways.
Often, I believed I’d found my true calling,
yet reality unfolded differently.

I existed in the sheltered confines of my truth—
the road, the pain, the silent games of survival
in a sometimes hateful America.
Disappointment etched on faces,
three years to secure a decent job,
odds

Premium Membermandrake was not allowed to have fuzzy balls

Mandrake’s sisters had fuzzy balls
Green fuzzy balls on their roller skates
Red fuzzy balls on their ice skates
Purple and pink fuzzy balls on their backpacks

You cannot have fuzzy balls they told him
You are a boy
It would be silly for a boy to have fuzzy balls
So he grew up and made himself a fuzzy ball chair
He also

Premium MemberPlease don't be late for this world's greatest escape part five

Fortunately, their musical video of It's just my destiny's, backfired very badly against
all of them!  It was rightfully branded and labeled 'as anti-Semitic and hate speech.
Thus because Sunrise musical recording studio didn't want a major lawsuit filed
against them, they not only deleted their heinous most recent video but also 
effective immediately, canceled their recording

Premium MemberAi Generated Poetry Is Not Allowed

How would they know?
I mean, this could be AI.
Could write 
Any
Old bollocks.
Does it have 
The 
Spirit; of my poetry?
Where is my
Soul? Is it
Next to this semi-colon?    :
Look at it,
Bit lonely there
But
We all are
My son
Is writing a story on paper across the room
Let he forever 
Be his own mind 
On paper,
In voice

Not Allowed

Motorbikes are not allowed
Out here where people stroll.
Smoking’s not permitted, either;
Fresh air is the goal.

Blasting music’s also banned 
So peace can be enjoyed,
Which is why, right here and now,
I’m feeling so annoyed.

A motorcycle zipped on past
And stopped one bench away.
Two guys got off and took a seat;
There’s nothing I can say.

Their music’s loud, their reefer

Merrys Land

Candescence

Auburn plains spread before me while the sun dips in curtsy to the moon.
Violet hued reds against pastel periwinkles radiate out in a cloud of color amongst the obscuring fog, becoming spirits.

The weeping willow bows in its lonesome and waits for autumn's death driving gaze.
The warm grasp of steaming apples and the cool whisper of

No Bad Energy Allowed

No bad energy

Feel life and let go of your 
sorrows and agony

You can only live once 
You can never die twice

So forget the past and move ahead 
The problems in life never end 

So don't die young in your challenges
Instead go through the process of life 
And become a man with integrity

Remember what is impossible

Each Passing Word
David J Walker

My secret is safe from me
Camouflaged beneath the skin

 (not even the eternal flame of the sun
                         allowed in)

Light beyond the fading clouds
Sounding their warnings

Endowed Crowd We Allowed Horn Haiku

should see starter home
seemed so small but just enough
which they still live in

apartments for poor
all of them had slate sliding
which they still live in

fight for a union
discriminate against them
sad state of affairs

feel deeply about
God who we all believe in
will show us the way

we were with a crowd
encountered being endowed
which we had allowed

This kind of is
