Best Rows Poems

gilded hours’
           intense writing,
     sunrise
through twilight years.

fine riffling through strange*
            fodder, of
      poets,
i call friends.

It was a Wednesday;
a day woven 
into prison blankets and dish towels.
A day to assess hours unnoticed.
A time of trivial hungers.

The hard heft of earlier times: -
not fitting into anything,
teenage fluff and huff. Heartbreak,
rearing and loss. The fallow traipse of age.
The clinical clunk of clay...

there is a lull of stillness
a hush of soothing calm and tranquility
and a thousand birds chirping 
among the rows
and rows of graves and graves
and quiet stone statues
I see some birds have made their nests
in some very odd places 
could be     ...

I watch the magic happening 
As yarn becomes a shawl;
The knitting needles of my aunt
Are at her beck and call.

Her fingers wind the wool around 
Without her even thinking
And rows and rows of stitches show
Without her even blinking.

Her expertise is such that
I just really can't...

A whale kilowatt is a power source indeed. Floatation over gallons is a fantastic idea. But when a raven flies in a circular fashion it is then time for the washing party of grizzly bears who arrive at the exact time of the water gush....

August skies bring summer showers

Thorny thistles, starry flowers

Perseids burst before my eyes

Star crossed furrows, in disguise

Garden angels of the night

Prickly blossoms of delight

August skies bring summer showers

Thorny thistles, starry flowers

My perfect garden has meandering paths
With shady benches along the way
Perfect rows of varying heights
Rows of brilliant blossoms
     Vibrant colors to stimulate my soul
            Laughter is melodious

how still the sky
that falls between
rows and rows of white crosses

in snow white Yule marble
lies three,
known but to God

"No Greater Love"....
echoes
like Taps in the breeze....

Santa came with his reindeer
Swiftly did they fly
Over hills and valleys
Decorating night sky

The only thing they left me
On the new fallen snow
Was not even packaged
Little brown droppings all in rows

(This was not an original idea
My church sent my husband 
and my self a little bag...

Rows Of Houses 

Rows of houses, 
     line of sight, 
Helmet rooves 
     about knee height, 
Squinting windows, 
     barrel of gun, 
War in the garden 
     had begun....

The landscape changed
From peace to bloody war
A hellish muddy landscape
Those men had to endure

And when war was ended
The living had moved on
The dead remained on parade
To forever guard the Somme

The landscape changed
From bloody war to peace
A sombre mark of the passing
Of those who fell before...

We are inclined to slavery; addicted to mental processes; hating Silences!
Fears our tomorrows will be stillborn - we awake churning old thoughts, hates

The Relevance of Last Winter
David J Walker

The acrid odor of a 
Butane fueled 
        space heater 
Seemed better 
than freezing 
In the sub-frigid air 
of a February 
        prairie

IN THE GARDEN
Plant
Flowers
Marigold
Splash of bright orange
Shades of red roses
A bed full of pansies
Don't forget rows of sweet peas
Hyacinth and daffodils too
Lilacs and Lilies fill up a space
Fragrance and beauty grow in my garden
