Defining Who You Are

The overcoming of obstacle
Is defining of who yourself are
It's a symbol of courage and firmness
This is the quotient of dividend and divisor
The product of multiplicant and multiplier
The sunny after the rain
The peace after the storm
The medal of valor after the war torn
The graduation of all the studies
The invention of miticuluos innovation 
And the beacon of

Freedom in my eye

I always wanted to be free
I always wanted to be me
I always wanted to look past the haze and confusion so I could see what I need to see.
I never want  to be tame
I never want to stay the same
I never want to be hindered and fused, destined not to choose weather I need to

Premium MemberDefining Life


The ebullient fluidity of ecstasy cascades with charisma
across the enchanting fabric entrenched in the valley of time,
changes the tenor with the reflection of imaged chromatic sky  
on the parchment of the delightful dawn and the dulcet dusk. 

On the convivial canvas of sanguinity the emotive artist 
paints the poignant panorama of the designed dreams,
perceives

Defining a Poet Laureate

In words that dance, a poet's grace,
A laureate's soul finds its embrace.
With verses vivid, tales unfurled,
They paint emotions, a world advanced.

Their quill, a wand of rhythmic might,
Crafts symphonies in darkest night.
From heart to ink, the journey's grand,
They wield a pen as magic wand.

They capture dreams in vivid hue,
Reflecting life in every view.
With language as their

Premium MemberThe Coming of Summer the Fear of Fall

The Coming of Summer The Fear of Fall
David J Walker

Half-past every euphemism defining 
The truthfulness of youthful youth 
		or
The youthfulness of truthful truth 

Crumbling behind the chime of clocks 
And locks of hair lopped off along the way

Today is 
	Today is
Today

Listen for the pitter-patter of
Little feet 

Catching up 
Spinning calendars

Faster
	Faster

Summer is calling
	A fearful Fall
Is all

Premium MemberDefining Moment

they say forgive and forget

remember and hold to account

seems to be frowned upon

and memorable events take a while

to manifest digest and process 

narratives change with the core

at every reason and heart


‘everything is wrong and it is all your fault

what exactly you will have to find out yourself

I will put our relationship into a drawer

and possibly

Defining Poetry

Words trapped within the mind,
sounds traveling through time,
placed upon parchment with rhyme,
entering each soul sublime.

None perfect until it hits the ear,
then harmony becomes near,
relaxing thought’s without fear,
putting love into one who is dear.

Deep and light with delight
turning on your inter light
capturing other souls out of sight
tantalizing the mind at night

Becoming one of two with one

Premium MemberI, Zombie, Part Ii: the Defining

In my zombie time
I see no reason or rhyme
For the Monster mine

Where is drawn the line
Between the soul and the mind
That it hides behind

There light will not shine
In darkness cold and unkind
Rooms it cannot find

Pain that tears and binds
Fear to fetter and confine
Just some of the signs

Screaming in my head
The evil one wants me dead
So,

Premium MemberDefining Vs Non-Defining

To use “that” or substitute “which”
Knowing this would make me quite rich 
Wrong words are a glitch
That we hate and do switch
Since an editor’s ire is a b*tch
