Our Industriously Lazy Orb
The sun wakes slow, a golden yawn,
Stretching light across the dawn,
Soft and warm, with rays that creep
Through windowed eyes from gentle sleep.
It drifts and dances, dips and hides,
Plays peekaboo with clouds that glide,
Bright beams spill in scattered showers,
Kissing earth and blooming flowers.
It tricks the colors, bends the hue,
From green to gold, to deepest blue,
Tickling the

Our blue orb's oceans
As deep as the very height
Of spherical sky.

Heavenly Orb Visits Forest
she brought light to the forest
it arrived in pops of turquoise, pinks and oranges
excited oaks, elms, and firs glowed with excitement
she was the ultimate orb, sent from heaven,
to give hope to those who had been sacrificed and buried here
their souls leapt with joy when she arrived

You Orbit My Orb
Nameless nomad from nowhere
needed nurturing in nestling niche,
where enticed excitement exuberant
enveloped enshrined emotions evermore.
On valiant venerable voyage,
vague venture veered in verdant valley,
ever eager to enter enthralling enclave
of enduring endearment enchanting,
reminded me to revere romantic rhythm
of reverie rippling on rapt rapture.
In storm of strife sad shadow swathed the sky,
in my

Golden Orb
Driving into a ball of gold
I would say orange but nothing rhymes
I’ve likely travelled miles untold
Lacking insight, completely blind
He glares at me; I can’t glare back
Right in my face, hard to ignore
When I look up, can’t see a thing
Except that hazy, golden orb
It seems that night will never come
This bloody sunset never ends
I’m likely going

Do You Love the Morning Orb
Do you Love the Morning Orb
David J Walker
So, do you still love poetry after all of this
I know you love me
And will read what I write
with the praise of a lover opening her heart
to her beloved
when I walk among the clouds at dawn
and lay at your feet what I have seen
describing the

The Golden Orb Spider
The Golden Orb Spider of Madagascar
sits and spins and spins all day.
When she has spun a bucket of rich silk
an official takes it away.
What have you done with my spinnerets
and where is my hourly pay?
Your spinning is created into gossamer silk
and you work for a cricket a day.
Soon the silk will become richly made gowns
to

Baxter Bug and the Purple Orb
Baxter was born in a meadow
under a rotting plank
with hundreds of brothers and sisters
in a home both darkly and dank.
His momma was a June Bug
and he was a June Bug too,
schooled in all the sorts of things
that June Bugs love to do.
He grew up fast, it was time to fly
and leave his

Shaping Haven's Orb
With the gentle compassion of maternal nurturing
A benevolent deity weeps over the world’s dismal state
While mesmerizing melodies sway to the dance of life
Her heart beats to the eloquence of universal love
Buoyant whispers riding over gossamer clouds on the run
Breathing hope into dreams of an auspicious sanctuary

Crimson Flaming Orb
As those inflicted by greed and corruption
become Angels of death stalking the land
with crimson flaming eyes
they search for those chosen to die
and fill their stomachs with satisfaction
to quench their thirst and hunger
The arguments are many from the lips
of those so inflicted
they laugh out loud at those who crawl
and wither on their bellies swollen from hunger
beneath

Orb In the Yard
Orb in the yard
unseen by regular eyes
enhanced by the fey
gliding in to tell the trees hello
cherished soul
who used to walk the property perhaps
Native American who had a tee pee here
Returning from tomorrow land
to look in on who is tending her irises
Or in the yard
Could be Grandmother White or Great Aunt Tess
Spiritual reflection of memories
