Trolls, Bots and Spidered Webs
Through false truth, the Rus reclaims hegemony,
Farming trolls to be enrolled,
'Neath bridges, clowns, see enemies,
Puking riddles on those tolled.
Then the bots deliver the hurl,
Regurgitate into the net,
Till truth is common as a pearl,
Yet what you see is what you get.
Spidered webs entangle yonder,
The language largely modeled,
And artificial minds are left to ponder,
Which words are

The Orange Brick House in Westridge Farms
I was worried they’d paint the house brown
Or red or green or blue.
I couldn’t even imagine
They’d turn it into something new
Now they’re ripping up the floorboards
Like your absence tore my heart.
It’s as though every nail they place
Tears us further apart.
300 miles plus an extra six feet,
3.5 hours turned into four.
But we never make

Autumn
Schools ring out with the sighs of freedom lost,
empty hearts break as a summer love moves along.
Bright wildflowers fade under the burden of frost,
birds fill the air with the tunes of migrating songs.
Night grows longer as it steals away the hours,
of warmth and sunlight from another struggling day.
The sun becomes weaker as darkness

Normal For Me
His eyes untrusting brown
Brows furrowed in permanent frown
Skin weathered
From the ground he tendered
And the whiskey goes down.
His unruly dark hair
Living a life he can’t bare
Heart hardened
Like the soil he pounded
And the whiskey goes down.
His tanned arms
Strength running the farms
Frustration heated
From the fire he beat
And the whiskey goes down.
Papa I cry

Blue Horizon
i'm chasing a blue horizon
in fleeting moments of a fresh dawn
searching for acceptance
hiding somewhere in the corn fields
the clouds are looking promising
swimming between silver grain silos
in a sea of farms my indifferent thoughts catch
only on the wooden telephone poles
gravel road beneath my feet tempting
if i run fast enough
i could disappear in the blue horizon

A Frostbite Forecast
A Frost Bite Forecast
David J Walker
It was the first night of frost
Biting the fallow farms
Stretching its icy arms across
The plowed grounds
Touching agrestic towns left
Dressed in white
Winter, sounding its alarms
That its’ bitter bite is coming
Ice and snow soon to follow

Califia Farms Coconut Almond Milk First Serving
Truth be told said topic minimally embellished
rather, prattling youthful looking
baby booming geezer
precious time (yours), he doth bilk
(cue sinister mock-up halloween voice)
moost valuable intangible
outstripping fine spun golden silk,
yet coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine
drives dingbat to whole new level
wits end where sonar helps sound out his ilk.
Think me swallowing, gulping, and asphyxiating
essential experiencing ill humor versus zest
suddenly impossible mission

Honey Bee
Soft golden brown, so plain to see,
A solitary honeybee
Busy buzzing from bloom to bloom
No more bees though plenty of room.
Fireflies seem fewer anymore
Where thousands glowed in days of yore.
Passenger pigeons once filled skies
But ladies’ plumes brought their demise.
Stars still twinkle but seem less bright;
Driven dimmer by city light.
More children are alone at night
As deadbeat fathers

A Good Man
Since he first walked, he made the outdoors his
while at home, paternal love was shown with fists.
His Mother’s love wasn’t enough for him to resist
leaving home and his Father’s frequent body hits.
He fell to his knees, “God, I need to be a man
and I’m only fifteen, so please hold my hand.
Father, help me become a
