The Prairies

The prairies stretch, the prairies team,
their vastness like a painted dream;
the prairies flush, the prairies grow,
fat cattle wander too and fro;
the prairies plant, the prairies seed,
with rows of wheat, and corn, and feed;
the prairies dip, the prairies roll,
winter winds bring howling cold;
the prairies grand, the prairies last,
brown bison still feed on the grass;
the prairies earth,

Valley

Down there where life flows
            as a river to sail on,
       the rich valley emerges with
     its beauty to be contemplated
           in all the

Above

Take me to the prairies
 where I can see the buffaloes.
       Take me to the green forests,
 where I can hear the hidden wolves.
       Take me to somewhere to be composing a melody.
Let me go down the river,

The Prairies Flush

The Prairies Flush
David J Walker

The colors flowed from his own brush
The prairie flush in scented and  sacred hues 
The earth tones framed in the deepest blues
Of an unrelenting evening sky
Always changing
	Nonchalantly   rearranging
Always in the eye 
of the artist

When Message of Hearts Blew In Prairies

First time our eyes met, instantly I knew
Why red rose-buds are boasting a bloom
In fragrance of gardenia passing through
As scent of pink lilies meant only for you
Evoked conversation of romance for two.

When message of hearts blew in prairies
Words of desire carried a lyrical promise
Blowing in the winds melody of our music
Composing a song in harmony

Storm On Prairies

Tink, Tink.
Water droplets falling gently upon the tin roof as they hit. 
Drumming. A constant sound on the rooftop to the beat of my heart while the wind whistles a tunes with its own beat. 
Tap tap tap at the window - the water knocking on the glass and splashes off the sill towards the

Springtime On the Prairies

Nature imbues a prairie Spring
with color's majestic splendor.
And Spring's pathway gets dappled with
purple pigments and puce pastels.

Tepid Chinooks melt mountain snows
that feed meandering rivers.
Forming long lazy loops that snake
across an emerald grassland.

A rising sun erases night
with a sense of hope and magic.
And gilding the edge of darkness,
Dawn heralds day's resurrection.

A watermelon horizon
marks the birthplace of

Lords of the Prairies - An Epitaph : a Tribute To the Bison

Dressed in my shaggy brown coat
I stand nearly six feet
at my shoulders
and weigh almost a ton
My brethren and I 
once roamed the prairies
in herds of millions
grazing on its grass
which fed and nourished us
for tens of thousands of years

Running at speeds of 
over thirty five miles per hour
across the prairies
in herds that stretched
as far as the

On Prairies Lovely

on prairies lovely
combed with moth wings emerald....
barbed pines prick clay's flesh

The Sound of the Prairies

wheat at its finest.
      long before the cut of blade
and grinding of teeth –

it sings through clear wind –
      rolling waves, soft in their hush
raising old ones souls,

ingraining lifetimes
     upon the wanderer’s skin –
raising hairs on necks –

recognizing sound

Open Prairies

I stand in the center of an ocean of wheat,
shimmering from the wind like ocean waves. 
The clouds, the sky, the sun, the colors of the fields 
and the touch of the warm gentle breeze.

The wild flowers and trees bordering the land,
the red earth blowing with the wind.
The sound of water from nearby streams,
ease life’s
