where she stops no one knows,
floats and floats till it may sink

The Light of Castine
My love and I we took a ride
One beautiful Spring morn late May
Through the winding Maine countryside
We headed over Castine way
We came this way times before
To charming Castine town
Now we had come again once more
To...

Perry and Empire
‘Twas but a mist-enshrouded speckle
dark-painted on looming horizon.
Petty worker holds unwavering watch,
silently, stealthily keeps his eyes on.
Forward motion undeniable,
each passing minute size increasing.
Small heart stands alert and viable –
beating fast and tremulous; though, never...

Trees swaying in the cold
November breeze, as I
ascended up the hill
a brown path, a dull
line drawn across the
two sides of grassy green
Moses parting the sea

The Manchester Ship Canal - Part One
Glancing down from breathless heights,
Amidst climey sighs,
The looming colossus awakens from slumber
And stretches across Thelwalls linear skies.
The hot engines hissing steam -
Recalled from fond memories long back -
Tumbling like huffing little rain clouds
Down from the...

An Hour At the Beach
Driftwood benches stretch along the shoreline as far as the eye can see
While purple and green kelp stain the wet sand like messy
brush strokes a child would make
Amongst the rocks and tide pools, a...

Patterned Patrons
Oh, what a beautiful tree
With glistening leaves
I wonder if it has fruit
That will cause me to believe
...again
Wow! What a tall building
It ascends into the sky
I wonder if it contains answers
That will tell my why information...

Along the Riverbank
The luminescence of low hanging mist whirls
Agitated winds shiver the tall cottonwoods
The ever present sound of the old river passing
She stands on the small rustic pier daydreaming
Watching the waters carry an old tugboat south
She waves...

A Mermaid can Dream
The brunette smile withdrew into her dream world,
as goldenrod sun melted away in storm.
The petrichor-scented parasol thus twirled,
aft’ windswept fall of sailor, in uniform,
upon her sand, carried on where lightning hurled.
This seaman-salt, seasoned with charm,...

Stepping Out One Evening
A warped board on a bench seat
causing discomfort
to an old bum, an aching foot,
a touch of pity all came to keep me
self-sealed inside a bag of skin.
I took no note of the river

Fingers numb at the tip of this island
Toes as crushed ice upon the only sandy

The sun falls quickly from the embrace of the

Landing heavy upon once rain filled clouds

The Slight Light of the Moon
The Slight Light of the Moon
David J Walker
Everyone is in
Everyone is done
Everyone
under the sun
is in the same boat
It’s a big boat
It’s a tugboat
It’s a lifeboat
That won’t float
On Solipsism’s alone...

Needs To Read
A tugboat needs a river;
A sailboat needs a sail.
In order to deliver,
A mailman needs some mail.
A baker needs an oven;
A bicycle needs wheels
And pets require lovin’
And a place to sleep and meals.
Plants need sun and...

A Sliver of River
A sliver of river appears in my view;
The window has served up the slice.
Of course, thought I’d love the whole vista, to me
A sliver is almost as nice.
It gives me a glance of the watery...

Push - Pull
It seems a tugboat has a choice
When dealing with a barge –
To push it or to pull it
And I wonder who’s in charge
Of making that decision
Or what factors are in play.
Is pushing better sometimes?

Mystery At Sea
A mystic death
Stormy weather ship on fire

go into the lifeboats.
The cook thought otherwise
there was no fire at the bow
the bow`s deck a room where
the potatoes were kept.
Later he heard noises...

Leaving Cincinnati
LEAVING CINCINNATI
Rumbling south over 1000 feet to freedom :
The Roebling bridge, and below,
Its Stars and Stripes hanging limp in the wind,
A tugboat slowly pushing
Sixteen blue-black coal barges,
Almost sinking...

Autumn Afternoon
The sky is blue, the river’s gray
And autumn leaves are on display.
The buildings ‘cross the river hide
Whatever’s going on inside.
The flags all flutter, strung up high
And bicycles go rolling by.
The dogs, on leashes, bark or...
