Fluttering fireflies
Above the creek baited sly
Hoodwinked in high skies
Genji's ruthless ruse
Foiling Hotaru's scheme
In summer rains' reprise
Pattering musical notes
On screen to wilfully tease
Dark nights dashing dream
Fireflies sparking muse
Unveiling the radiant allure
Of Tamakazura's fair silhouette
Smitten Hotaru pens love pure
A waka to win her heart yet
Hear Hotaru's heartbeat
In relentless petition
Seeking solemn retreat
In love's glorious rendition

The All Earth 24/7 Buffet
David J Walker
And on the 8th day
God said
LET’S EAT
And eat we did
Chomping and whirling
and chasing
and spitting
and hitting
and catching and killing and
cleaning and cooking
boiling and foiling
in tin turtles over a flaming-out fire
lest eat
lets eat
letzzzzzzzz EAT
All day
Everyday
and it came to pass
we grew fat on each other
belching in out guilty pleasures
pleasing
and sleeping
and procreating
replenishing the Earth
fearing
that we may never eat again
And God said
IT IS GOOD
And it came to pass
That it was good
and good as gone

This day of Autumn shivered
And then did sneeze.
A thousand gold-leafed foiling
Of birch, beech spilt.
Soon, and colder, will it be
Known for its wheeze.
What from off each bough, dance-frozed
Spooks finch's lilt.

They say in his old age, Isaac was blind
yet like his father Abraham, unusually kind
Rebecca, his wife, came from a family evil and cruel
her brother Laban tried to rob Eliezer of all of his jewels ...
Isaac loved his 'hunter-son,' Esau, a chip off Laban's block
in Esau's brother Jacob, her pure son, Mother Rebecca put her stock --
Foiling Isaac's plan to give his blessing to Esau, one so cruel
~ Love that is blind must not be permitted to rule

I am the wind
the textured curl of clouds
those specks of glitter
silver and gold are my
illustrative gleams
the foiling wings
that flutter and flap
feathers ripe with color
complementing all rosy hills
a rolling kiss a splash of
blush a dash of spicy dish
the pepper and the salt
of a morning's stirring serving
see me in the meadows
there where wildflowers overflowing
bees and butterflies how they gaily
bob take lick like little children
at the serving tops of apples candied
making funny faces where those more
tart chasing rainbow tails the
fond remnants of showers
I made this day for you
now do me honor
save some acres from your cities
and roads
one or two at the least
as I keep sacred
your plot through the heavens

ON DIVORCE
Old love is descending to a closure
It’s getting weaker as days go by;
Disturbing violently, my composure.
This changing life is waning hereby
Exploiting the darkness of separation;
Trying to confront an unpleasant goodbye.
Trying not to vent her frustration
I shall go about with sincere intentions;
Without the necessary aggravation.
There shall be sadness and foiling emotions
To agree without confusion and commotions.

I was born blind
I know not my front or behind
I see none beyond my brows
My fantoms only heven knows.
Beauty a mere figment to me
For love i ponder what it can be.
I heard hope is like sunrise in dawn
In sheer darkness the light is born
But am awaken when the cock crows
For rays merely braize my empty brows
Foiling endevor to illuminate my sight
But the curse i bare an infinite plight.
Save your sorrow im blind for good
I have a vision too rarely understood
Paint my picture by words you say
Map my future by the love you pay
Yes you can
You can be the honest haft to my cane

Rolling through space Earth enjoys her comfortable
Distance from the giving sun, of his light, with
Warmth enwrapping daytime life of verdant growth in
Goodness wholesome grain, trees, wind, rain, rivers, and pith.
Other planets rotating around the sun’s glory,
Venus basking in heat along with Mercury’s boiling
Blast of oven cooking for a star light to humans
Looking at the sunset blanket sky westward foiling.
Solar system gently rotates Mars, Asteroids,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto at noon,
Around their star sun receiving his light circling a Solar year
Feeling through space his solar wind in a new day sunrise moon.

A short stout figure in the forward line of attack,
dribbled with the darting ball on the green turf.
With the magnetic pair of fleeting legs like a wizard,
spearheaded the formidable formation of the team.
The opponent defenders had to invent new strategy
to thwart your crafty moves leading to the goalpost,
but you could make your way foiling all their attempts
to see the ball flash and hit the net behind the bars.
You were the backbone of your country’s team of fame,
that you led to winning many prestigious tournaments.
A legend in life time, you were the pride of Argentina,
in the history of football you’ll live forever, Maradona.

Joyous Noel
Splendorous with foil
Foiling the weather,
Birds fluffing feathers,
Joyous Noel
Keeping warm with kindness,
Strong with pine scents
Trees sparkling white, contents
Joyous Noel!
Let none be voiceless
Voicing all of this churr,
A gently stirred whirr.

sometimes punctured passion's bruised blank:
bounty biddings could trace torn tracks
syllabic silhouettes sighing
dark dribbles - spelled sway of motive
fostered feelings foiling
porous pledges poring fractures
perforated pencil moaning
voluptuous sketches sans vying
masticated mind's tamed template
confetti of canvas cruise crave
gaunt geulgram eerie actions etched
moistened mosaic crumbling down crest
passion ain't plea for addiction:
It's a page you sketch choiced motion.

when eerie emotions smother
passion, apt affairs affections punctured
urges oozing velocity
caught'n gaunt grasp of eroticism
when epacris ******** wail
trailing obsession, taunted trail -
hideous hankering of pleasures
foiling features, feelings' fractures
whenever bruised brain births blitzkrieg
sassy sanity's smithereens in spree
dark drooling dribbling damp rhythm
that rustic rape prune melody
tame torn instinct, take a leave
be no slave to emotions, flee.

some by zeal are birthed
worn wills leering lanky lips
dark fate foiling spree
passion pores punctured pee
some in wills are ridden
worn wits spilling, sodden
sassy spell hoisting alakazam
gullible acts fostering gaunt gas
some trail tactic trade:
politics, business and sundry craves
casting bruised brain by door
eerie ideas oozing porous pawn
live by wits, let acumen flow
or merrily in folly glow.

worn wit's fang
omen's punctured prank
hoisted odds hampered
relieving rusty orders
monstrous myth melt
dripping dark delves
eerie experiment etched
foiling felon flesh
mental horizon's mesh
fragile future's confetti
humming hacked hymns
quarantined fate flicked
callous contractions cruised
birthing blitzkrieg bruised.

felon fate fostered
feigning flimsy clusters
voluptuous verge drown
cremating callous clown
dark dribbles birthed
hampered hankerings hoisted
moaning mists raved
foiling rusty rage
wanky will wailed
meagre moans masticated
voluptuous vying hibernated
bruised bugs perfected
porous pulses oozed
tracing taunted tune.

Note: Of voluptuous verge.
