Look Real Pretty
(Short song)

We're not here to look real pretty.
We work hard and we get dirty.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

We're up and at 'em 'round four thirty,
chorin' up fences, makin' 'em sturdy.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

When done on the day we sing like the birdies,
chug a few down and we get wordy.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

So if you come around when the week is done,
toss away the shovel and have ya some fun.
Call on Betty Lou and the preacher's son,
shake a tambourine and rap on a drum,
dance around and sing like the world's just begun,
then git on home afore the setting sun.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah!

(inspired after my first hearing of The Way I Should by Iris Dement)

Celtic Sun

Celtic Sun
Celtic sun, one such wonder, 
Sending her rays unto the woods, 
Celtic sun spun her golden silk, 
Oh, such beauty on kiln dried land. 

In this mystic cool Spring air, 
Soft wind blowing everywhere, 
As free as a maiden-fair-hair, 
Butterflies fluster and fill the sky, 
The Monarchs of black, yellow bright and blue, 

Cardinals chirping, flapping their wings, 
Hummingbirds swooshing by, 
Drinking from sweet vines and Morning Glories, 
Near Plumeria trees, they fly, happily glide, 
Catalyst vision of rainbow prism colors bright. 

Celtic sun, shines as glorious about, 
Casting shadows on fluffy white floating clouds, 
Majestically high on blue yonder of mountain ranges, 
Fields of magical wonder, Spring flowers and herbs. 

Tulips, Daffodils, Silkwoods, Sages, Lilacs and Lavenders, 
Honeysuckles hang higher on climbing fences, 
Lemon scents in the garden of Rosemaries, 
Thymes, Parleys, Fennels and Oregano flowers . 

Dancing with plummelling Plumerias, 
Butterflies & bees swarm for nectar of flowers. 
Morning light shines on desert tan earth 
Birds glide and chirp among tall trees 

Dew drops crystal dancing with the moon, 
Heat swoons and soon it's melting by sun light, 
Atop the Delphinium petals blue and bright, 
With sweet scents of Hyacints and Java Jasmins. 

As dark sky shines on bright stars, so fair afar, 
August moon fading soon over the horizon, 
Golden sun rising and basking on the sky line, 
Over the rim, it shines on the blue azure sea... and behind. 

As the ocean waves rush to the shores, 
I adore natural earth that I saw, in awe of her beauty, 
Forever more, and again, I am in heaven, 
Oh Celtic Sun - alas, one more truly happy day.

Wood Picket Fences

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmLsbatEo_w&t=27s

Wood picket fences and outdoor fairies  
a dreamy place where everything is made of 
light and grace 
the flowers seems to breathe of their own accord
here in this magical place of open air . 
Residing in silence, soft and inviting 
are the birds of the air, meditate and leave 
all worries behind , come live  in harmony  
with the trees, the flowers and the 
wood picket fences...
From this natural habitat I share my poetry with you 
communion with me now in stillness and quiet 
plenitude...
Thank you for being part of my world today,  
soon the sun will arrive and shine its ray 
and the moon, it will be just a memory 
for you and me.

the invisible threshhold

the invisible threshold
i shall not hide
i shall not die
in fervors demeanors
mis-contraception
dedicate that grammar
under sheets i halt breads
nervous

nervous is samsara
the apprehension of sorrow
end sowing of silks
cursiffs
i am also finnish
regalitry and conformity
i thee web
backstrokes towards mercy
another strings pluck
without and gaunt
she labeled and i shrunk

guilded rembrandts
dethroned liberation
my carpentry
and my stones
cementing fences
learning tones

all as duty
and none as before

once again known breach
sand shall never relent
the shore is not bright

Premium Member How we write-ed it '

It was half-sub-merged; as it were you 
sea."
And some sort of process?
 that seemed to
In-clude me.? Well wether i write-ed? or it just appeared.' People will read it have no
Fear..It will test their aptitude and
 drown their senses..May be it'll flush out more whatever? And liquidate fences.? Words have that power.! I know not fully, the knot from
Whence it comes, yet it causes some tears
And anguish in a sum.' Or laughter? And
 hilarity, fires emotions; causes commotions, it can describe truth fully or
Twisted, it can be.? It describes Abrahams
Actions, for ' he digged a well '  thats the text in front of me..A Bible verse thats lasted so long, a story etched in stone and songs, read so many billion times..The tounge
 recites its prose and rhyme..I think
Of the fancy grammer beagles that stilt and censure..And create wots legal.? But
God don't care.' Bout sll the razz, and when they run out of words, and time there is more that He has.' He gets it writed.' Is whats the case.' And it will float
This ARK in many a space writed and worthy it proceeds along, while critics though many.' Are really 
swans lost in their own songs.'

Premium Member The Five Hour Flyover

The Five Hour Flyover 
David J Walker

Oceans of cotton and pumpjack sails 
The reality of time on miles prevails
On the horizon painted and parted by hours of 
Tipping the scales between 
small towns hovering over the
Llano Estacado  

Herefords and horses line fences 
demanding all five senses 
to comprehend the vastness 
of the Alternative Reality 
of a forever reaching horizon

5 hours of driving to 
Everywhere or
	Anywhere you want to be
When you are young and 

Needing the energy 
of millions 
To make your day profitable
And your nights 
  Plausible 

5 hours from anywhere
5 hours from everywhere 
5 hours deep into an 
alternative reality  

Oceans of cotton and pumpjack sails
The distance prevails 
Extracting time against miles 
That never fails 
To call you home again

Premium Member Romance By the Sea

Cape May holds a special place in our hearts.
On the day after our engagement eve,
We journeyed to old Cape May town,
And celebrated with her by the sea.

Five years after we came once again,
To recapture that time we remember,
To celebrate our four-year anniversary,
Our love and our marriage of November.

Browsing the shops we like to visit,
Stopping to dine, and drink a toast,
To happy years past and wonderful future,
With my beautiful wife in our home on the coast.

We strolled arm in arm the Victorian streets,
That cool, breezy lamp-lit autumn night,
Greeting the colorfully painted ladies,
Decked out in gingerbread, picket fences white.

We made our way to the winding shore path,
And walked along together hand in hand,
Then down to the beach went my love and I,
Full moon romance shining brightly on the sand.

Pausing at the edge of the sea,
With a long embrace, a sweet kiss,
To gaze out over the rolling waves,
We captured a moment of total bliss.

With the lighthouse bright on the horizon-
Though sometimes we travel in sunny weather,
And sometimes the way is dark and stormy,
In love’s light we’ll always travel together.

Premium Member Injustice Or Nature

We cry out for peace..in the wilderness
and yet live where death flows like a river.
We call out for understanding
and yet hate blooms with each new birth,
nourished by the generation before.
We pray for kindness,
yet every day nature shows no mercy.
We turn inward,
as though the answers sought are burned into the subconscious mind.
We want change,
and yet we walk in illusion, 
finding man is both Cain and Able.
We are heaven and hell
We turn our swords into plow shares,
then build a wall around the plowed field.
We are a creature of fences and borders,
that stalk the nights in search of the weak.
We are you and me in our darkest moments,
angry at action or inaction.
We are a burning fuse, a red tide suffocating,
a volcano that will bury, a lion killing,
every new cub born before our new kingdom.
We are who we are, dreamers, a bringer of death,
seekers of peace, a sunny day, a raging storm
We are nature's way of looking at itself, 
arrogance and disillusionment,
wrapped up in a blanket of empathy.
Moving through time, awaiting death, praying for eternity.

Premium Member Hidden Walls

Lost in a perpetual maze
Caught up in an eternal haze
And with no solace left to find
I'm trapped here deep within my mind 

Brick by brick the wall erected
Still my life was unaffected
Till the day it all seemed clearer
A closer look in the mirror

A prison of my own making
My sanity for the taking
Each hour spent from dusk to dawn
Reality was dead and gone

No longer close to kin or friend
The fences that I could not mend
This solitude I freely chose
To wallow in my fear and woes

Counting down to the day I die
At first I laugh and then I cry
My last sane day I can't recall
Those hidden walls enslave us all

W I D O W S

Innocent these souls,
Let alone in journey
Along the road

The strings to sit on hands
Struggling the kites up for survival

The wings,what wrong?
Why not they like doves,strong?

Losing breadwinner on a day of shock 
Slices of their bread,where is locked?

How to find room in hearts?
To park the vessels of sorrow

Death is a creator,
Widows and orphans,some

The blanket they wear
Woven with tear and fear

These plants are at risk 
Erect the fences,quick!

At a glance,
Off the glass,
They are like our class!

Widows,no a curse
When death is the cause

In case death a curse
Paradise a worst

If the paradise a worst
This planet becomes a curse

Open wide,
All panels of heart windows

Sense there,
Some souls to share and care!
