Where would we be without a second chance?
Will you ever forget that pit in your stomach?
That hollow, empty feeling when
'The love of your life' walked out the door?
Is life really over, is all lost, after one failed romance?
Yes, it may feel that way for a while
But then we take a deep breath
Sigh a great sigh
And move on to love's second dance
What of the lad who steals from a store
An apple, a bar of candy, or even more?
Do we lock him up and institutionalize him
Or find out why --- empathize with him
What of the schoolgirl who plagiarizes
For an innocent mistake -- forever stigmatized?
Or do we simply explain her the duty to give credit
When citing sources or quoting from the internet
Learning how to drive all too often engenders
Minor mishaps: Rear-enders or fender-benders
Is that cause to give up forever -- an ignominious end?
Or do we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off
~ and try, try again?!
Recall now the humble beginnings of number twenty-three
The greatest basketball player the world ever did see
At age 15 Michael Jordan was cut from his high school team
Did he up and quit the sport, or determinedly set out
~ to realize his dream?!
Be it in love or in school, we all get played for a fool
Pray tell, where would we be with no second chance?

Their ma & pa were Eastenders
Blah blah..don’t remember the Blitz
Lit the bonfire..won't call it quits
Make even their kids crazy..like nits
Hazy troll scroll hits
Society in bits due to fascist fits
Dimwits just going on benders
To the nutter gutter they descend
Quixotic pretend patriotic defenders
Horrific hateful slurry..getting lippy
Like their tan..the glory of a tandoori
Sh** hypocrite story…more in a hurry
For a plateful of curry.. than a Mr Whippy
Or a trip to the chippy
Oblivion.. foster an imposter roster
But brag..as minions from the
Dominions opinions they gag
No refrain from disdain campaign
Vain..inane..insane Reform reign pain
Yet bet still the norm to holiday in Spain
It’s a farce..you are working class
Toffs scoff..no VIP pass
Stop.. just being an ar*se
Fooled..fueled and ridiculed
By public schooled top brass
Belligerent…militant instruments
But insolent..indolent & ignorant
These refugees are innocent
No different…like you a descendant of an immigrant
Tomfoolery cash for a stash
Of bold gold jewellery
Sold their souls at the polls
For whom “the Bell” (hotel) tolls
Farage barrage racist goals pepping
News airs..or views flares
Dares from their speakers
Roles of shoals of brash proles prepping
Mass of thrill seekers going for the
Kill in crass flash sneakers in Epping
Due to the "colour of your skin"
"No room at the inn".. spin
"Don't let them in" chagrin din
Charlie snorted...no parley
Reported we have resorted
To getting it sorted by them being deported
Cardinal sin..won't let them win
Cos Asylum Seekers they are schlepping
Nice shoes
and a fancy saddle
a beautiful horse
a gorgeous, gorgeous horse!
Oh to be, love and excepted
a graduier way for me to feel
a gaudy way for self expression
the silk you see is for real
owning and caring for
the whole ordeal
shined my shoes
they shine like polished steel
people of this hemisphere
an earthy more healthy
way to play
to sing from such a position
all can hear what I say
every sorted gesture
ah rhmns for singing
not just any ole way
this one has meaning
Oh til then
on we go
if you need
I'll told you so
aint no love
like you and I
When the world
opened it's eyes
a covering of clouds
in the sky
fruits for us
portioned to be
the offering of
my love for thee
You must think I am crazy
lap steel guitars
string benders
Bassey Grooves
and drums
#COVERS BLOWN, INTENT KNOWN, ACTIONS SHOWN! THE LACK OF, IMPACT OF..."SEWN!" IRON-CLAD, NOT JUST A PHAZE OR FAD, MICRO-KNOTTED, MASTERFULLY PLOTTED, WON'T BE FORGOTTEN-
"THAT" TO BE EXACT...IS INFINITELY ROTTEN!
LIAR-LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE, WHAT YOU GOT AWAY WITH, AFFECTS TODAY (NO MYTH) COMPLETE FACTS!
YOUR TONGUE IS COAL BLACK...IT ILLUMINATES FROM BEHIND THE MICO CRACKS, SO MUCH FROM THAT...
AND YOUR WORDS ARE N O T PREFERRED,
AS OCCURRED, ALL TRUTH IS BLURRED...ALL SMOKE!
NOW THAT WEAPON OF DESTRUCTION HAS LEFT A
P E R M A N E N T OBSTRUCTION AND THAT BOULDER WILL NEVER LIFT, AS FOR THE RECIPIENT, TOO LATE.
IT WILL NEVER S H I F T!
PRETENDERS, NUMB BENDERS, IT'S HARD KEEPING UP APPEARANCES, DEEP ROOTED INTERFERENCES...
VERY CHALLENGING TO SHAKE THOSE EXPERIENCES; HAVING TO DEAL WITH FAR LESS, CONFESSED, REAL LOVE DELIVERANCES! THEREFORE, AT CORE, SOMETHING GETS BLANKETED...
THE WORLD WILL SEE AN ANTITHESIS PARTICIPATED, CLOSELY WATCHED AND RATED OR PERHAPS THEREFORE... OBLIVIOUSLY IGNORED, PAIN AND HAPPINESS REFRAIN, A BLACK HOLE...IN OTHER WORDS, (WHERE'S THE WHOLE)...
INEVITABLE REGRETTABLES, STORED.
WELL HONED MASQUERADERS, ULTIMATE TRUTH BETRAYERS, NOT ALWAYS SO EASY TO TELL, PRAYTELL....DEPENDS ON MOOD, DISPLAYERS, LIFE PARTICIPANT PLAYERS OF NEED/GREED AND SELFISH REAPING SEEDS, THROUGH DIRTY DEEDS AND CALCULATED IMPEDE. "WHAT A BREED!"
THEY WILL SCHEME TO REDEEM AT ALL COST;
IT DOESN'T MATTER OF WHAT OR WHOM GETS LOST...
IT BECOMES A PARADE OF DESTRUCTION, IF ALLOWED, A SOUL SUCTION...WITH NO REPAIR TO THAT SITE'S CONSTRUCTION. "THANK THE UNIVERSE FOR A *HEART AND MIND* {ALIGNED} {ASSIGNED} ABDUCTION!"
STORIES...DERIVED, DESCRIBED FROM THESE CATEGORIES. INSTANCES AND STANCES FROM THOSE LEADS TOOK CHANCES...
ON A LOVED ONE, A BELOVED ONE...
A ONE OF A KIND ONE! A.K.A. "RARE ONE".
NOW IT'S DONE. CAN'T BE UNDONE.
THE RACE AND PACE: WHERE'S THE PRIZE...?
SURPRISE! ! !
YOU LOSE FACE (GRACE) EVERYTHING...
NO WIN! THE END.

Winter descended upon the prairie plain
Pelting the ground with freezing rain
Nipping, biting this cold morning air
Thin layers of ice coated everywhere
You get out on the road but don't step on the brake
That would be your biggest mistake
For it would make you slide and spin
This would start your heart pump'in within
The accidents, fender benders take there toll
Some cars or even semi's can roll
The roads become a treacherous place
You crawl like a turtle at a snails pace
You dread having to go out that day
Driving is dangerous they say
you get behind the wheel and pray
No one will back end you along the way
A day filled with “jim-jam” stimulating my mind,
Appreciating a treasured moment in a priceless time,
Questions arose about the great divine,
Brought about a spinning “rambunctious” rewind,
For long ago life was “quintessentially” unkind,
“Gizmos” and “wing-dings” is where I drew the line
“Mickey Mouse” could never make things turn out fine
I needed a “blowhard” supernatural sign
When I “abso-bloody-lutely” realized how to shine
Neither” Nitpickers nor gender-benders” could take what was mine
A “penny” for my thoughts would not be sufficient for this type of dine
It was medicine for the soul and nutrition for ones vine
And just like a classic, aged bottle of wine
Revelation was esteemed this day, while being refined.

I, William Shakespeare, was granted a chance -
Travel in time left me speechless for once.
« The question of to be or not to be »
« Yes » landed me in 2023.
I yearned to be your favorite because
I divulged vast range of mankind’s flaws.
To my distraught dismay in nowadays
Fifty grey tinges cast shade on my plays.
I scramble through your modern terms alright,
Some give me goosebumps, some - a febrile fright.
Queen as a drag?! Bottom line offenders!
She and he turn « they » as gender benders.
The question no longer « to be » but who -
Entitled to a designated loo!
How far the world transitioned from above
Of Romeo and Juliet’s tender love?!
From online hookups, fast food, Amazon...
Can't wrap my pen around what's going on.
Descriptive language gear not hard to find -
Too rapid for my literary mind.
I worshiped every word with utmost bond,
Now google search is poets' magic wand.
If 1500’s were so well equipped,
Renaissance all together would be skipped.
I doubt if I lived now I'd have the will
To waste my fleeting fast pace on a quill.
I shall not fathom merging life with thee
As bestowed gift of 2023.
To Stratford-Upon-Avon I belong,
Where my pulse beats along immortal song.

Cave Kellers and Dig Wellers
David J Walker
Christians that go to hell
will have one
Hell of a story to tell
In the
Nick of time but no place to
Dwell among tent dwellers the
Cave kellers the dig
Wellers the rhyme
Travelers the street
Sellers and day
Sailors the night
Failures the pay
Traders the flesh
Peddlers the time
Piddlers the mind
Benders the fence
Minders the prime
Lenders the crime
Numbers the prince
Paupers the door
Stoppers the bargain
Shoppers the grass
Hoppers old teeny
Boppers and hogg
Sloppers with chart
Toppers and good
Coppers and hoola-
Hoopers and party
Poopers and hot
Peppers and self
Checkers and fat
Backers with back
Packers of heart
Stoppers and flip
Floppers and hot
Flappers and splish
Splashers and party
Crashers and hot
es and bad
Bastards
Christians that go to hell
will have no one to blame
in the hottest of flame
But one hell of a story
to tell
Mind Bender
Tiny pieces of mini scraps of particles circle in the air that is like a carnival.
World even I cannot comprehend.
This unreal display mind bender of mental illusions.
Tiny illusions like a mini world.
Display of mind bender particles.
World even I cannot comprehend.
Particles in the air bender.
Tiny illusions like a mini world.
Tiny pieces of mini scraps of particles, circle in the air that is like a carnival.
The air mind cannot comprehend mental pieces.
This unreal display mind bender of mental illusions—
Tiny illusions like a mini world.
Mini mind, tiny circle pieces comprehend air.
Bender mental particles that this air bender display of mini mind circles.
The air mind cannot comprehend mini mind, tiny circle pieces.
Tiny illusions like a mini world.
Unreal scraps of mental pieces bender of mind.
A world display of circle mind pieces.
Display particles in the air world, circle mind benders of illusion.
Tiny illusions like a mini world create space between mental mind benders that comprehend air in this carnival display of circle pieces even my air mind cannot comprehend—
Tiny illusions like a mini world. . .

Bones growing soft- no summer glow
plows plopping out piles of salt
fender benders and potholes.
White knuckles and black ice
sun shower and petal
nowhere in sight.
Ice cubes for breakfast
polar vortex for lunch
wind chill for dinner
the snowman is hunched.
Icicles for a snack
winter has no mercy
there goes my trick back
but I got off easy
my neighbor had a heart attack.
Lake effect snow
drifting on the road
somebody froze to death
less than half a mile from home.
Dreaming of green summer glades
to cut through this icy cake.
For saccades to warm the shovel
Old Man Winter acts a lot like the devil.
