The Butterfly
As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew
anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue
Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue
flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is beauty true on

Fringe Benefits a Plug For Perks Yo Man Living At 2 Highland Manor Drive
Fringe benefits (a plug) for perks (yo man) living at 2 highland manor drive
Expanse of green acres draped
like a petticoat when ye arrive
birds of a feather flock together
and bees gather collect nectar,
pollen, and water to bolster their hive
verdant vista sports
spot for wildlife to thrive
such as; whitetail deer, red fox,
Easter bunnies, garter snakes.
Not only state of

Penumbric Fringe
Penumbric Fringe
David J Walker
The lateness of the hour
Measured in the meter of the
News-mans message
The Hour is Late
But not come
Cries the downtown crier
The lateness of the hour
With unrealized power
From the sun
But then
They will be they
Won’t they
They are the one-word
Future
The lateness of the hour
Is Time
And time again
Repeated in
Ambit chaos
Within the penumbric

Verges Fringe -
Sometimes in the end
New beginnings cling
Attaching themselves to new premises lend
~
Random yearning closures rings
Often dismiss as over rolf
The end comes and out of its mouth
Future verge fringe

El Divino
I
ELIAS
I'll climb to the crest of the clouds
- bare heart -
I'll climb to the Morning Star
from the very edge of deus ex machina.
I've left in the pulpitum
my offering of bewilderment
my embroidered cape - imaginería -
the mere crumbs of my fears.

Death On the Fringe
The older I get,
the louder the Muse does parade
The shorter the moment,
the deeper her message invades
The older I get,
distant voices wither and fade
With death on the fringe
—all focus recentered and staged
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

Sun Setting Over the Dark Green Fringe of a Shivering Lake
Sun setting over the dark green fringe of a shivering lake on the last day of winter
An old man still unbent sits on a deserted wooden bench
with the load of his cares on his convex-ed back
beside him a plastic bag full of weekend wares sags
unable to straighten his cowed

Fringe

Beyond the fringe
So long as I live
My all I give
Don't care if you call it a sin
Or if it burns a bridge
I work above and below the ridge
And I can't always win
While the planets continue to spin
You have no idea what I did
And have never been in my shoes or skin
I'm positive
You're story was not

Fringe
Face the fact now with a sure feel,
Reach for a sign as symbols link;
Ink stains know how to feed the will,
Niche fond design here on the brink;
Give and take some as textures twirl,
Engage the trip as motives glaze.
Brand sure outcome as gestures swirl,
Expect sure grip to master craze;
Note how you can account for more,
Etch title

The Lunatic Fringe
The lunatic fringe are grabbing the headlines
This murderous bunch are attempting to undermine
These subhumans won't succeed
The world will be freed
Of this scourge affecting the lives, yours and mine

The Lunatic Fringe
As days go, this has not been one of the best
But after giving myself a good talking to
I've realized not all days are created equal
It's the lunatic fringe that are wreaking havoc
Ask anyone on the street and I'm certain
99.9% are peace loving folks who just want
To be left alone to live a happy and peaceful
