Laughing Willow
They say the willow weeps for me
They play the willow song
What if the willow laughs and we
Perceive its rustle wrong
The willow dies of laughter though
We still believe it weeps
I’ve seen two seagulls flying low
Beneath the willow’s sleeves
One of the seagulls turned its head
Another seagull grinned
The leaves were falling on my bed
Spinning in the

Along the Way
The raindrops fall into the paper cup of tea
The teabag shrinks as if it could be my remark
Unlatch the green door to the childlike mystery
It’s possible again to enter that old park
The busts and statues of the gods and greats
And shaded benches in the niches of the trees
There in the memory another alley waits
I

Dawn of the spring
Lovely, windy breeze goes round and round,
bringing us the thought of joy...
Silver rays of the shining sun,
kissing our joyful faces and sharing the beauty of the day...
Giant tree men bow to all of us,
shaking their colorful tree heads...
Bloomed charming flowers smile with us,
whispering the secret of love...
What a precious moment...
" Oh, look at those seagulls,

photographs and memories
photographs and memories
as i search photographs and memories
of gulls flying over ocean waves
i can hear the crashing waters raging
as if it was only yesterday
these same waves are no longer there
yet others have taken their place
slapping rocks then returning to the air
it has always been the case
i’m sorry to say many birds are gone
and flown to

Drifting on the breeze,

Seagulls and Saints of Emmaus
Seagulls and Saints of Emmaus
David J Walker
I see Seagulls and Saints
And icy sills of Window’s
Restraints of blurred realities
And unaccompanied Complaints
But clearly every pray ends
In amends and Amens
And incitant constraints
I see syllables in Sawgrass
A syllabus of things passed
Down in hands of hand me down
Phases and phrases
Of false praise promises of
Devine

Seagulls only paint portraits of
the sea out of
intrigue, and
never for

A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS
A blanket of turquoise and sapphire blue;
cacophonous gray and white plumage sail.
Skimming along the sea’s light foamy hue;
a blanket of turquoise and sapphire blue.
Beauty in flight, soaring the sky’s vast view;
they flock together on a grander scale.
A blanket of turquoise and sapphire blue;
cacophonous gray and white plumage sail.
A blanket of turquoise and sapphire blue;
skimming along
