Long Timeshare Poems

Thru a paroxysm of tears...

I inconsolably wept a river of sorrow
starkly aware alienated daughter(s)
implacable woe sundered fatherhood
yesterday, today and tomorrow.

A series of unfortunate events
(move over Lemony Snicket)
set in motion since my birth
unleashed impotent scrawny infant
registering...

You're "afraid" to get out and cast a vote, 
but not of rioting in the streets.

You say you champion diversity,
but take away fetal rights to be.

THE ISLANDS OF SAN JUAN - TIMESHARE

IN A PORTION, A SPELL IS CASTE.

INSIGHTFULLY THEY BEGIN TO TRANSFORM THE...

being merchandise moved 
by the mighty, 
free-market bellow powers-that-be:
The Babble Tower titans of industry

And the fawning, vote hopes that you have
is advancing 
conveyor belt backwards
The packaged progress that...

I remember our exclusive Florida vacation,
Days with my sons, sister and parents.

They gave us a chocolate Santa and a bag of oranges,
When we arrived at the airport from Canada.

The long walks along the white sandy...

She was and then she wasn’t. 
A ghost in the rearview. I can still feel her.
The glass slipping from my fingers. Shattered to pieces. 
Eyes seeing, 
always remembered.

At night I dream. 
Little drops of sunshine....

Christmas in Florida, beautiful and breezy,
They gave us a chocolate Santa and a bag of oranges upon arrival.

The valley was so green
To my love swept eyes,
And all that I now beheld,
Was so alive with life.

There seemed to be
Melodies of unknown
Origins, floating on
Air massaging my
Ears, pricking my heart.

And I would sit so full,
Knowing...

July moon
Speaks softly;
A lover's sigh

Voices cease
Sleep intrudes;
Metamorphosis

Ask for the way
Seek that strange road;
Dear nowhere man

Tiny grey parrot chick
Brief sojourn here;
Gone with the wind

Wayfarers meet
Timeshare briefly;
Agendas halt here

By this corner
Newspaper vendor laughs;
Service with a smile

A chance meeting;
Discourse en passant

Watch that madman
In easy sway;
So much to say

Sunday sums
Fifty years young;
Singapore's birthday

~~~~~~~~~


We think of you
With profound pride;
This awesome...

Ambition
          by Odin Roark

Natural versus man made
We marvel at technology
Remembering youth’s innocence
Adult expectations

We bolt
Futures filled with confusion
The imperative of progress
Move with the flow
Or be left...

Utopian Smoke
David J Walker

tie-died Salesmen in ponytails
offered  peace in an
Aquarian timeshare
for annual fees and considerations 
keys of dried green grass line 
Golden streets with Brass Bongs
And the utopians smoke 
in long tokes exhaling

An Orangutan said to the Chimpanzee,
“I’m bored and tired, hanging in this tree.”
Going to pack my bag and move to the States,
Live with Gus Gorilla, and hang out with his mates.

The Chimpanzee thought hey, that’s...
