POET FEST
Words seen through the inspiring eyes
Emotions during the assembly
Intervention phase
The when, how and shall
Wisdom mount
Unknown sentences through the horizon of their own
Assurance in knowing
Bulls eye target
Thrown through catch
Past into present
Poet in represent
Circles and squares
Caution in beware
Time set
The effect
Poet test

Oktober Fest in America
If Harris chooses to have beer,
They hoist a message more than mere,
It’s like October Fest
In November, no haste!
Sails rudderless poll boat,
Who knows how people vote?
Guesses gallop, go in top gear.

Old buddy
One Saturday in a fest
I met an old buddy in a vest
Who was mighty grateful to bond
At the side of an old pond
And tell stories of the wild west

A Baa Baa Feed Fest
It sheer is nice to munch all night
and all day, too, with Byron’s crew
of sheep, that is, that wander ‘neath
his walnut grove, that’s old and true.
Hey, baa baa Babe, don’t you run away
you’re missing tons of fresh, green hay
meanwhile baa baa Bob, whose teeth are long
wanders in circles ‘cuz he has brain

At Pocklington Little Fest
The tattooed drunk
With the expensive shoes,
And a desperate look
Of having nothing to lose,
Barracked me at the microphone.
I was so glad he was on his own.
A single drunk is easy to quell
More than one can be a hell.
I finished my spot, went for a beer
Turned around to see him
Standing quite near.

Harvest Fest Annual Autumn Fair
Harvest Fest’s Annual fair is the place we are heading today
Maisy my dog is totally excited, she loves the children.
My own are grown and have moved to cities far away.
Where the jobs are, away from their cousins and us.
The smells of fall are in the air – pumpkin, cinnamon, applesauce.
I am bringing homemade cider, apple

Fest Dressed
Colors in the trees
They're decked out for summer fest
in raspberry days
At last the get together
Seasons come but once a year
Here comes red robin
for the sunshine singalong
as jay sings the blues
amidst dark berries galore
in the middle of the year

The Cup of Life
Fresh to this world, we have learned all things new.
Luck and fortune only smile on a few.
As death would sneak up bestowing our rest,
chasing windmills of mind we should askew.
Our life lived will be put to a strict test.
Conditions propitious for a gabfest.
Secrets we argue over and debate
will be made clear; astound the very best.
Live

Summer Fest
Strong winds are blowing in from the west
As dark storm clouds gather overhead,
Threatening our celebrated Summer Fest.
Thunder and lightning increase the dread
Special events will need to be canceled,
Months of planning could not see ahead.
A stage for musical acts has been disabled
Disappointment reigns throughout town
The city planners are feeling very unsettled,
The revelers are simply feeling let

Sun Dried Rain
Sun-Dried Rain
David J Walker
Following the path of
Southwest winds
Carving canyons
Starving clouds and land alike
Making sand of topsoil
As pilgrims pray for rain
staking a claim in blowing dust
In bilingual refrains
of long missed moisture
and drying rust
Sun-dried children cleansed and swaying
on backyard clothes lines
dying for a drop
of Sun-Dried rain
Who will be

Fish Fest
Schools of fish in this lake seem to hold a fest
Fishes of all sorts swim in an august zest
Shining in spotted, striped, silver, and gold vest
Schools of fish in this lake seem to hold a fest
Carp, cod, hake, jack, shad, and sole in blest best jest
Flexing and gliding through the calm water crest
Schools of

The Hallows Eve Fest
First it was the bats, who came buzzing by, on a spin.
Hot on their tail the hawks were flying again.
The ravens were stirred up, but they stood their ground.
Crows were eating the corn; clever and sound.
It was Hallows Eve, a time for children to feel dread.
Most of them were not asleep, but sitting terrified in
