Avant-Garde

she studies the philosophy of art, of expression, and freedom, allowing the spirit to drift of shape, of movement, of sound, where white plaques and blackened ground, streak rays of light in prolific sound to fill her pallet, she wandering on, to greet the stage this Avant-garde

where joyous pain
greets peaceful sounds in silence alone, a

Premium Memberthis avant garde clan

the avant-garde clan considered themselves intelligentsia
devoted to intellectual and cultural pursuits
wealthy?
yes.
intelligent? In some ways
but not intelligentsia.

true intelligentsia are illuminati.
advocates for social reforms
concerned for the less fortunate
builders, creators, endowers,
of hospitals and social services

this avant-garde clan was snobbish
felt they were better than most others
looked down at the peons
they lacked empathy, compassion and social consciousness

a friend told me

Premium MemberAvant Garde Prism Rimas Dissolutas

Coloring clouds with sparkling sapphire 
filling them in with a clear blue sky;
Seamless strokes paint a glittery glow,
a happy thought’s an art deco gem;

Catching the light as if bathed in fire 
nature’s potent muse pleases the eye; 
Throwing a smile on every shadow
they brighten with fresh optimism;

A cyclone that leaves an all time low
gives way

Our Daily Bread
David J Walker


Give us this Day
	Our daily bread

As the garden grows in rows of 
Mimicked articulation 

	I stand
	Shovel in hand 

The morning's supplication 
Interrupted by the rising sun

The morning song sung 
        by the 

Turtle dove flawlessly 
Accomplished perfection

Give us this day
	By the rising Son

The twilight

Book of Breathings

Cruel clock
Supernatural sail
      A false friend 
      in the wind
      blending in 
To a breeze 
at the speed  
Of a whirlwind 

Tell me again 
about your tomorrow
the sorrow comes with the dawn

Premium MemberI Love Montmartre-Mystic

Soaked up the atmosphere of Montmartre
Found café enjoyed French citron tart
Double shot of coffee went down so well
Then I heard the Sacré-Coeur bell.

With hand on my heart, I honestly say
The shades of the past forever hold sway
There's something unique about Montmartre
Air so different totally avant-garde.

Picasso, Lautrec, and my favourite Monet 
Inhabited these streets and with

Premium MemberLa Garde Recule - La Haye Sante, June, 1815

Battalion column coup de grace;
It’s what was planned, but didn’t work that way.
We’ve bled all our embarrassments
At bayonet point and now must cede the day.
God damn the blasted cavalry;
They’ve left this muddy field a bloody pool.
All hell for the artillery;
I’d like to face one gunner in a duel.
It’s over, done and finished with.
The very best

En Garde

our swords unsheathed
it is our time to spar
sparing no blows
no matter
how hard

flesh feels the wounds
with love and lust filled
thrusts trusting
to make a mark
scar the heart

pain changes to bliss
torturing each other
with touch just so
then i give in
taking

your sword in hand
guiding it towards
a hole made
many months
ago showing

you where i want
you to take me
even if 
a little
death

is all

Premium MemberAvant-Garde Home

Your avant-garde home fills a crucial niche
   ensures the perpetuation of outrageous kitsch

The painting on the wall entitled 'Insemination'
   keeps this admirer on the brink of regurgitation

That chlorophyll-fish oil drink your butler foisted on me
   helps me every fifteen minutes or so to pee

As for your 'petrified out-of-water deep

Artist
Play with colors on canvas, impressionist, naturalist and poetry connoisseur
I have two daughters, a brother and a sister
I love archaic rocks, pristine nature, and butterfly flutter
I feel content with small things, grateful for help, and divine pleasure
I fear to find me in dark, to lose my dreams, and to see relations split asunder
I would like
