Best Unresolved Poems

I had a cat, a large one
I thought I loved the cat
The cat thought he loved me too!

Then, one day,
They took the cat away
The cat, with the bassinet, the little furry presence
And Sameeha’s science club chapstick
And I thought I was kissing scientific a book cover
Where...

Some folks say unresolved anger causes depression
We know unresolved anger is a cause of aggression
Well, I’m here to make this unsolicited confession,
I would be a strong candidate to lead the procession
But first I want you to consider this little concession --
When depression subsides, I consider...

Pause the clock, let the world stop
allowing our past to catch up 
before going one more second 
into the future. 

Would not stop long, the past 
dragged along generation after generation, 
faster than the last, problems left behind
getting worse, ignorance, bigotry, hatred, 
degenerate companions. 

Passing...

We so carefully respect the boundary
Placed around us by society
A sly smile, a covert glance
That we cannot name romance
	
For rules it's wrong, for souls it's right
As we slip into the deep night
And discover each other
I boil to be your lover
	
I'm drifting off as you say
Just...

We fight,
We cry,
And ask ourselves why?

Why did we have to start
To tear our own race apart.
With an endless war,
That has no end
That we cannot mend.

Why is it ok to kill someone else's brother,
For the sake of a religious gain?

If I killed your brother would you...

On my honor I will do my best
To be real quiet, and not a pest
I’ll smear some butter on a crispy roll
And let you dip it in my soup bowl.

I won’t dress up seeking flattery
Unless I win the freakin’ lottery
Then I’ll spread the cash tween...

Nature or Deity
what petty cruelty
or splendid mystery
that he and she
would so distant be
in mind and manner and vanity
This is why they writhe and bite
or love as cold as winters night
We claw and kiss and spit in spite
We rage and pace and fuss and fight
or cut...

Laying in fear, clear objectives blurred

By confusion, noise all around

Sand, I feel each grain against my face

Dog trembling against me, head buried under my arm

Her body jumps with each round fired

The smell of sulphur, heat of barrel close to my skin

One next to us still,...

After writing free verse for quite a few years, I am feeling my free verse is hurting me too...

I resolve.          Not to make any New Year resolutions.



I am finding it hard to go with the flow,
I know,
It is the sensible approach to take,
Worrying won't make
Situations change,
Life is strange,
Things are not like they used to...

It came so suddenly the choice you have chosen,
It wasn't an intention; none of this seems to be true
It was Thanksgiving Day, and the kids were about it 
I wouldn't say I like it either, or you're not here. I walked away.

Though the tragedy that...

Like Tristan's chord played 
my tissue caught her last tear
left life unresolved...

You Do the Math
David J Walker

Such is the cost of
Granting another day 
Travel another step away 
Down A longer path

You do the Math 
Scribbled and quibbled 
On every empty calendars graph 

Adding it up 
unable to take away 
Any day you have passed 
Any past...

A life I lived has passed me by, 
My thoughts of wanting to go back in time 
I am trying to turn away and fly 
I will lose my will of losing this time.
 
My fragmented memories on recall, 
Difficult for me with an event...
