Beneath Bruised Skies

Beneath Bruised Skies

The wind, a ghost with an unseen hand,
Whips grit and dust across the Oklahoma land.
It carries the smell of ozone, sharp and cold,
A story whispered, ancient, bold.
You feel its tug, a constant plea,
A playful push, then suddenly,
A heavy cloak of pressure drops,
As every buzzing insect stops.

The sky turns bruised, a sickly green,
A painted

Oklahoma August

The sun is now up,
and the sky’s all aglow.
What this day brings me,
I don’t fathom to know.

I sit in observance,
as puffy clouds float by.
Quite a big contrast,
to a robin egg blue sky.

My hope is that now,
I see August heat abate.
Or perhaps I’ll go somewhere,
that I can acclimate.

In my mid fifties I retired,
and it

Oklahoma Stands For Women's Rights

Oklahoma just passed an executive order
About the obvious disorder
Of letting men break through the border
Called a women’s bathroom door
Which has always been there for
Keeping out men and furthermore
Those who are men no more

Oh, some may scream, ‘where are their rights?
They’re out there fighting the fights,
To pee with one’s wearing tights.’
Yes, but would you let your

Oklahoma, a Country Inside a Country

A country like no other,
Our citizens are like brothers.

Our country anthem,
Has made so many come.

Bring us your lost,
We will help them at no cost.

Bring your extended family,
You will all live happily.

My country tis for thee,
And all those in need.

The Oklahoma red dirt,
Is yours to convert.

Come join us in our country,
You won’t regret it, trust me.

I reside in a town that has a small lake,
growing up, with this lake I formed a bond.
Once, a visiting Texas friend gave me his take,
he said that in Texas it’d be considered a pond.

The Oklahoma Tornado

I look up into the sky I see it,
Getting darker and darker,
In those Oklahoma skies.
That feeling never goes away of,
The past memories of destruction, 
Pain and loss of life.
It was getting closer and closer,
The clouds had dropped out of the sky.
I could see it the funnel cloud,
Laughing at me.
I could feel it making my heart

Oklahoma Winds

We all have roots from seeds
In and on the fertile soil of our lives
Where we are planted to need
The place we know as home to thrive
Shaped and harvested we live to die
As the grains of wheat and hay
Kernels of corn, okra and dandelion greens
In the grand yield of who we are each day

But the winds

Black Eyed Peas Oklahoma Summer

Black-Eyed Peas (Oklahoma Summer)
David J Walker

The blooms arrive in June and by
July the pea pods start to dangle 
Soon the picking will begin when 
Grandma says so shading her eyes
From the angle of the morning sun

So…. the work has begun
Cousins used to summer reunions 
Deep off the backroads of Oklahoma

A competition of kids
Filling grocery sacks

Oklahoma

Oklahoma

We were all in that building
White, Black and Brown
Old and Young
Americans all
His face, we know it well
He looks like us
America’s son
The face of America
The eyes so cold, so hard
They take our breath away
Cut deep into our hearts
The Soul of America
Laid  bare for all to see
How can we understand?
How can we forgive?
We must never forget

I only hear the silence as I stride,
twixt granite chairs neatly set in rows.
The 168 chairs epitomize each life,
now neath a sea of grass that grows.

Today my psyche visits this place,
albeit, here, their Spirits do not rest.
However, a Monument and Reflection pool,
usher memories, as if

Oklahoma Skies

Oklahoma skies reserve a place for me,
when my last breath no longer is,
shoot my soul to the stars above,
a resting place where I can find peace and love.

Oklahoma skies reserve a place for me,
a change from years of living in strife,
waking up to days of ulcer living and worry,
living life in the fast lane of

Oklahoma

I'm living in Oklahoma
That green country fresh aroma
Life sweet as could be
All fine and dandy
Till I lapsed into an okra coma

Schooled In Oklahoma

When Len traveled to Oklahoma

to obtain a ranching diploma

a bull butted him hard

out in the training yard

and he but earned a hematoma.

Much rain has caused floods,
Water sought its own level;
Nature, man can’t tame!

Ode To An Oklahoma Locksmith

Nationwide Insurance twas on my side yay

     two thousand eighteen ja way
windows closed, doors locked, and

     car keys visibly splayed
     on driver seat oye vay
