Best Minders Poems

Exhaust fumes and flower blooms
Acrid smells, gentler scents
& pungent decay
Hot molten gold flows out of a clear 
blue sky
Cars rumble down streets made into 
alleys through the trees that tower
over them like Eiffel
Or Freedom
With the rain age old mud mixes 
into the seams of recently...

Herpetologist meets actress (Cameron Diaz).
If he's funny he's me.
South America or Africa (on location).
In a diamond mind.
The protagonists (lovers), the diamonds, the miners and the minders.
By minders we mean watchers, organizers, supervisors.
As all art must: choose a focus.
The personal is political said Cameron on the...

I'm not a 
preacher; 
I'm just another believer.
I believe in the future of my 
generation, 
because we are the solution 
generation.

My generation...
Flourishing in righteousness
Walking in holiness
Nourishing in goodness
Connecting to grace yet 
wireless
Overflowing amidst 
emptiness 
Shining amidst darkness
Bearing fruits amidst 
barrenness
Blossoming amidst dryness
Breaking through in the...

Dotted Lines Of Footprints

Dotted lines of footprints
Across The shell strewn strand
Fleeting proof and not so subtle hints
of passages of child and man

Tell-trail trace of Human presence
Impressed deep into the sand
Doomed to be no more than flimsy evidence
Soon erased  by Neptune’s hand

While not far away...

Chorus X 2
I wish you smell the cologne of my intentions
I wish you hear the piercing rhythms of my heart
I wish you see the torment of your short absence
and also to feel the weight of my promises.

1. Your apples are in need of a worthy...

Manger

Miniatures to touch.
Messiah’s cradle where
many came to worship.
Magi bearing gifts of
myrrh, frankincense and gold.
Minders of field and flock,
make haste to the new king.

So what I kept some stuff
A few small keepsakes, merely fluff
They make such noise, so much dumb fuss
Their indignation careening like a bus.

Now they think I'll spill the beans
Use my powers by any means
I can clearly hear their screams
Trying to figure out my schemes.

All hot...

Cave Kellers and Dig Wellers
David J Walker

Christians that go to hell 
will have one
Hell of a story to tell

       In the
Nick of time but no place to
Dwell among tent dwellers the
Cave kellers the dig
Wellers the rhyme 
Travelers the street...

Menu A or Menu B ? oh dear! quite a dilemma really. ha

Tadpoles induced symphonies in a bowl of custard cued. But cued is neither curd nor carved caverns catering cafés. Cafés cage craterous carefully created considerate cream crêpes and deepest are the deepest diamond...

Fruits of Passion 

As extended branches test my hunger
I grip the fruit you have become,
ripened as the winds go streaming

Slashing through my tussled hair
yon branches quickly to defend,
though fight I must if I shall have you

This fruit is tempting, young and pure
Through its flesh my...

SUPER EAGLES SINKS SOUTHIES
 
Eagle Ekong earthened the egregious encounter,
Edging Eagles emphatically into the lead thereafter,
As he slot from the Southies spot.
The target is to score which is paramount.4

The roar from the stance serenaded our headset.
Osimhen oozes class & pass into the net
But the middle...

Ecotone 

I did not plant the prairie tickseed that appeared among
The cultivated flowers of my garden and quickly dominated.
It seemed to say, “We live, still!

My house sits in a tension zone, an ecological “no man’s land” where
Tall Grass Prairie and the Cross Timbers, vie for...

Trump returned home, empty handed
while in Congress Cohen grandstanded,
recounting more malicious misdeeds,
as sycophants yell pro-Trump screeds;
Trump paid off mistresses, faked his wealth,
conducted illegal acts and obscured his health;
lied to German bankers cause he wanted team,
football gods blocked that particular dream;
Trump again contradicted intelligence minders
hoping our...

And the ancients come before you;
