RESERVATIONS FOR TWO
Dining and Wine sipping lovers
Like a Red Rose to think of
Evening of elegance
Beauty and Harmony
Tone of the night through avion
Food quality delight
Music making everything alright
Dance of two of eyes facing in a trance
Swirl and circle
Kiss highlight
A date of all time
Full Moon watch
Stars advance
Feeding romance
Reservation and atmosphere being the right place at the right time
A Man

Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Reservations Not Required
An itsy bitsy spider
Is waiting for the rain
To drip its final droplets down
So she can weave her web again.
Next time she'll choose a better spot
Than that worn-out water spout.
It was damp and cramped
And the sun could never quite
Completely dry it out.
This web she'll string between two trees,
A fat oak and one much thinner.
Then with lacey,

Reservations 1
Reservations 1
David J Walker
Why is this a town in the middle of nowhere
Why is my map glowing
Why are there no vacancies
Why isn’t the river flowing in any direction
Every window board up
Every pain broken
Every door locked shut
Rustic isolation
The highway ends at a bus stop
The train tracks fade into darkness
A dirt road runs deep

Native Americans
They where hunter gatherers at one with the land,
They thanked mother earth with song and dance,
Occasionally another tribe would raid and kill,
Years they lived on the land with customs and traditions
The head was the chief beloved by all,
Happy .... not knowing what was to come.
White man came they wanted their land,
White man spoke with folk

Reservations
Your concepts of hygiene are questionable
Showering before work is a viable solution
We live in a civilization with rules and soap
Caveman ways are no longer acceptable
As your boss I have to be clear
We value you at the lowest level
Your performance of late is poor
Let me come straight to the point
You are no longer employed with us
That

Reservations For One
Some spot awaits amid the palm,
Of South Pacific's sultry charm,
For one old, weary down-east dude ...
Full-up on winter's somber mood.
It waits, resigned, midst sun and

No Reservations
A woman stands before me,
tears flowing from swollen sockets,
streaks shadowed by a thin veil.
A full congregation,
tissues in hand, for some will weep.
Their eyes transfixed forward,
I am the focus of their attention.
A pastor’s offering
beckoning a wanted response.
In this vast Cathedral
sighs echo.
What eerie silence within this moment
before the words, “I do.”

Paired, With Reservations
Paired, With Reservations
The soft curve of her spirit-
Her true shape only emergent after countless
Half-glances in the half-light of morning’s edge.
What line is drawn by the knife-edge of the sun’s first rays?
Who is slain in that prime, resplendent arrival?
Regardless it is a shiny death: an incidental manslaughter
Making new cuts and reshaping the structure of our

Reservations Please
I'd like to make a reservation please,
A quiet table on Friday at eight.
There will be a total of four that night,
I'm so excited I just can't wait !
You see, some friends I've yet to meet,
Are coming here from distant places.
We're going to talk of many things,
It's going to be a thrill to see their faces.
Do

Reservations
Have you made your reservation
for that mansion in the sky;
where you will live forever
in God's kingdom by and by?
Is your name down in the big book,
the most important record there?
Where the saints of God are listed
tended with the utmost care?
When that book is opened
will your name be found within?
Will you sing there with the angels
or
