I was strolling to the entrance of the Barley Tavern,
when I was passed at quite a rate by angry Billy Brown.
He’s mumbling and cursing before he kicked the Tavern cat,
and blamed it as the reason...

It was you oh Lord
Who felt the pain
The likes of which
I could never endure,
For this vessel is weak
And I would certainly fail
Of this, I can be sure.

For you alone
Were meant to suffer
For a sinful world...

Muddy Water's Gramma gave us licorice

I walked the old Kenwood neighborhood with my twin little brother and sister in tow,
'hold there hands and look both ways before you cross the street'
No use trying to talk...

Remember me my
friends,
when the trees bask
with delights
when the waves whack
the rock
when the fair
weather whispers.
Then know am close
 and I need a touch

Remember me my foe
The stainless
pathway of our duel
the ravaging rift of
our skin
the cries of...

We fought as one,
 the blood it run, 
All around our feet ,
Our bronze age swords ,
Were not ignored ,
We sliced and diced so sweet,
 
The dragon came again, 
again,
it’s Stinking breath remained, 
remained,
Like sulphur...

old man friend of mine

old man friend of mine
skin of leather
heart of stone
sits alone
a dying old thing 
in an age old chair wearing his old man clothes
two decades of sweaters buttoned up to his chin
heavy...

All the noisy critters, warblers and the morning, young horse rider
have taken with them spring's harmony;
no longer can galloping beats and songbirds make this black, forest
echo with their delightful sounds of felicity; 
winter has indeed...

HOLLYWOOD BEACH GULLS
Regrettably the sun was setting low
on wings of gulls all red and fiery eyed
they plucked the popcorn from our waiting hand
as if we  had a dream to give to them
or sang a...

The fire

burn the furn
the forest is on fire
light eyes
sparkle in cloven escarpment
drizzle the muzzle around the bear
h’s so aware
tear the trees
in the east

the birds screeching clawing
gnawing at the spectacular horizon
torching the ghostly night
awakened with fright

Rebel & Patch
The Buck sparrow lurched and dived with ever constant wheeling,
and squealing loud he fluttered neath the eaves.
He knew the cat was waiting yes waiting in the ceiling,
and he squeaked and shrilled c'os he...

The scuffling duo sparred in the park
Their screams and shouts so very marked
A bag was clutched in the woman's hand
A man had grabbed it while he harangued

"Let go!" He shrilled and tugged it more
"Tis mine,...

Afternoon Snowstorm in January 
David J Walker


What else would I dream about
 in January 
When the chill is enough to kill 
		All incentive 
And the north wind huffs its wicked breath
		In a cruel Laugh 

What...

The Long Last Summer’s Past
By David J Walker

The shrilled ring of the
School bell
Was the first call of
The last days of another  
departed summer

The boys laced on new
Tennis shoes
The girls tried on 
New dresses

The sleepy...

“Buzz buzz”, the anopheles shrilled the night
As with hunger on grasses, they slumbered without light
Babies, held against skeleton milkless breasts
And gnashing teeth, the men in dispiritedness beat their chests.
 
The greybearded simply await their knell...

I passed by Old Man Banksia, a wonderfully gnarled tree,
While trekking through the Jamison, a bushland pedigree,
I saw the broad leaf of the Geebung, with its yelow frill,
The distant sounds of Katoomba Falls with its...

Natural serenity prevailed in the garden
That evening,
A warm light breeze blew
Interweaved with the sounds of
Crickets
Chirping their shrilled symphony,
And occasionally interrupted by
The haunting cries of wild peacock.

Bathed in pale moonlight
Stood a man 
Dressed in a simple...

My soul winks 
The place the order of time blinks
Seemingly battered dragging on my Peaceful limbs 
I crumble my heart subtle 
Subjected to plain ruins 
Smoothly rough guild of tiny mischief

O' spare me realisation

I had a tough day,
so many places,situations,people,things,
and transactions to receive and pay,
that I forgot which was what,when and where,
it was all cacophony,
whether I heard it here or there,
All shrilled at first nagging me hard,
It was...

HELP! HELP!
 She is sinking,
 Sinking into the abyss of despair.
 Her brain is striken And her mind is stifled.
 She has been enervated.
 Her integrity is being manipulated,
 Irrationality acts as spring board to...

A Word-its an remark or statement
words when spoken can make or break relationships..
they hold our thoughts and modulate into emotions,
they inspire at times or break you badly.
if said from deepest part of our heart, they...

Between the blue sprawl of day
And the expired light of night, 
A seductive winding-down
by a sky no longer drawn tight. 

Clouds wisp across a molten orb
Like fingers over an amber eye,  
Steal sapphire from...

A wild pagan, the wind, a spectral masseuse,
  Blunt cudgel and claw dipped in liquid frost,
To corrupt and ravage the pit head columns,
  As black trees threshed and leaves were tossed;
Slapped against satanic...

The koels’s shrilled song followed me
As I turned towards the dark path
In muted silent tones...
The frogs croaked along
The darkened flowers in misery
Hung their tender necks~~
Only the ivy climbed
This moonlit chateau
As my soundless steps reached its...
