Premium MemberWhat Is My Worst Enemy?

My worst enemy could be, could it be a flea? What is the magical key? Do I need to make a plea? Let me sit and think as I drink some tea, under this fall pretty red leaf tree. My worst enemy could it be me? No way or I would flee. Now down on one knee, I will ask thee. My worst enemy could be, oh please set me free. Is it a huge crime? Wish it was as simple a rhyme. Can I buy it for a dime? Would you believe it is time? I need more time in each of my days, my time runs together as a big maze. Sometimes I only see a dark haze, please send me more time without any delays

- like traveling back in time,
       to 
            a
         season
   of   vivid   colors, 
         
  the aroma of autumn. 
            
     thoughts reflect
          laughter,
   as leaves    crumble
beneath   t i n y   feet.
        
              the  
  ( simple moments )
           of life.
        
         each one
            being,
               a 
            gentle 
        reminder of
              
          - pure -
         innocence.

Premium MemberThat Pause Between Summer And Autumn

For: SEASONS NOW AND AFTER Poetry Contest   Sponsor: Nette Onclaud   Date: August 6, 2025
*****
Somewhere between the summer and the rain you left and left me lonesome once again. The tiger-lily and the bumblebee are pleased to keep their simple company. The young black-tailed deer and her spotted fawn take morning leisure on the fresh mown lawn Two-by-two life moves through each season's flow, How each day follows day I do not know. Snapdragons bloom amongst the marigold, the sun and rain still color rainbows bold. But I am paused within Autumn's shadow; Loneliness becomes my cold bedfellow.

Premium MemberMy Ode To Autumn

Each year the ghost of past Falls’ returns
bringing its  simple—but wondrous—treasures.
Turning the world to harmonious earthy hues.
Ardent amber, golden orange, warm browns of
walnut, spicy toffee, biscuit, bronze, russet reds.
Autumn’s brisk light dances on orchards blessing abundant harvests.
Cinnamon, pumpkin, ginger, pecan and persimmon.
September skies expectant for the change as
radiant woodlands pivot to leafy, lulled, silent shadows. 
Faded fallen, fluttering leaves, crisp crunchy, mottled pathways.  
Lost glorious largesse.

In the inevitable passing of seasons — this velvet, vibrant 
vivid — Autumn is treasured most.


Premium MemberMy Fave Season

First day
of Fall—hey,
I love the way
I feel today


“Just a simple little ditty, not too long and not so witty, but a feel-good sweet refrain that I’m proud of all the same.” —by poet

Premium MemberBeyond the Distant Horizon

Beyond the Distant Horizon 
David J Walker 

Faint 
	Octobers morning sun 
Was more tolerant 
of simple sight
The malaise set at peace  
The disquisitive gaze  
Or at least it might

As the calendars race to
November
	Remembering that
December 
Comes trembling into 
Winters bitter bight

But not yet
	Says the clock
Regulating 
seconds into
Moments
	And minutes into hours 
Beneath the pedestal towers 
Of times flight

Faint 
	Octobers morning sun
The day has just begun
	And is already gone
Beyond 
	The distant horizon

Premium MemberNot a Trail

I’m a path inside the wood,
And twisted by design.
Despite my aim for greater good,
By me there stands a sign.

“Not a Trail,” is what they read,
By those that pass me by.
Off another path they lead,
While leaving me to sigh.

Don’t tell me I’m not a trail,
For I’ll be what I want.
Judge my path from head to tail,
Instead of just the front.

Matted down, the brush I quell.
Around the trees, I wrap.
I’m a trail and just as well,
Though not upon the map.

Tread on me and you will see,
I’m not what they assign,
Think of how I want to be,
And not based on the sign.

Fall is season shift. Simple tweaks help cool the world. Sunny with light breeze.

Premium MemberShhhhhhh, Listen

Hidden orange trees painted
Migration of low-flung sun
Small hand in mine held sweetly
Bares autumnal hearts simple love's
Exquisite secret

Premium MemberHarvest Mouse

Oh little mouse,
You are so small,
You are petite,
You are so cute,
You are so sweet.

With grasping tail
And tiny feet
You climb tall stems
Of swaying wheat.
Reaching the top
You eat the grain,
Then skilfully,
Climb down again.

Oh little mouse,
You are so small,
You are petite,
You are so cute,
You are so sweet.

Premium MemberSquare Dance Skillet





God's greenest, avocados, sliced in a bright red ceramic bowl
Mix them with eggs and they dance with exuberant cowboy soul!

Ever observe them twirling in that griddle?
It indeed takes a Poet to see them do the "allemand left"right in the middle,
to the sounds of a fiddle!

The eggs twirl the fullest in bright, pretty, paisley cowgirl skirts.
Such a simple task, it fills me with Western imagination and American mirth.

Premium MemberThanksgiving Time, Thanks

Thanksgiving time is a time when the colors of fall are seen,

when the home is filled with the cooking aromas in the air.

We sit down to a bountiful table with prayer in hand,

to give thanks for all we have.

Thanksgiving time is a time to remember the present and the past,

the ones not with us may be far away or have passed.

A day for fun, great eats, relaxation, talk and games,

how could one ask for anything more?

Thanksgiving time is a time of year, just one simple day,

I wonder why everyday can't be a day of thanksgiving.

Premium MemberMy Spirit Sings

Will you take my hand and walk with me
To view all of nature’s offerings to see?
Will you escape with me a while, with only a smile
And dance with me, beyond the very last mile?
Will you open your heart, as I trust you with mine?
Enhancing the brightness of the light to shine?
Will you skip the puddles with me and laugh along our way?
To land in each other’s arms at the end of the day?
Love is pure and simple, together we share truth of it all!
As colors blend around us, I touch you in the leaves that fall
And I say, thank you for this walk, for everything
Because you take the time for me, to help my spirit sing!

Premium MemberAutumn's Fall

Summer’s fall is just a state of mind;
the trees, you know, look forward to the rest.
And summer won’t mind being left behind:
each season hopes the next in line is blessed.

Though winter thaws bring loveliest of flowers;
they can’t withstand the long hot summer hours.
So, they make way for sun and waterplay;
grateful they brought happiness in May.

Then summer, in the spotlight getting scorched,
looks forward to a cold drink on the porch.
An early rise each day all season long
and late-night hours suggest it can’t be wrong...

For summer to bow gracefully to fall
for fall will welcome winter like the rest.
Though winter, at times, puts us to the test...
Each season proves the very best of all!
