Palace halls hide thoughts
location clues glimmer bright
words echo when passed
images and places bound
anchor what the mind lets slip
Marble cracks hold screams
floors reek with forgotten tears
keys corrode to rust -
is this palace yours to keep
or the maze you cannot leave
Do not embarrass
Your spouse when you're fighting
When cool, get along.

Virtual Town Square
David J Walker
The marketplace is teeming with noise
From the beginnings of early morning meetings
Rumors and warnings about
The strange faces from places you
Never heard of before
The penumbra provided protects the
Interpretation of selective vision
Mnemonic recitations guide
Approved cogitation
That gather communities together
Into their one true form of a
Virtual town square
Where
Freedom of thought disappears
Muse makes mind mull meek moments mild,
Nice nature note in subtle ease;
Etch ample finds with wordplay wild,
Make simple vote a vivid tease;
Opt obvious oomph such sensuous sway,
Now nurture nice that telling take;
Indulge fine boom in poignant say,
Cast fragrant spice where wise words wake.
Dream deeper dream in sound affairs,
Embrace fond art where beauty blooms;
Set sublime streams in affluent air,
Invite your heart to style grand room;
Glimpse a sure tell with blessings kind,
Nice substance dwells in peace of mind.

Resonating throughout the entire universe
Considering everything rotating in a circular twist, is how mass exist
Contemplating it with a spiritual twist comes when one takes it with a faithful risk
Vibrating entirely throughout the universe

To stick in the minds of their dearest readers,
poets will use rhymes as mnemonic tools.
This means they will just as easily be remembered
as great philosophers or fantastic fools.
