In dark winter
Butterflies are
Hard to find

Still

10,000
ancient trees
plead
for silver ribbons...

Today a baby winked at me
    another hilariously giggled

  Worth at least 10,000 texts
    or - yesterday - a thousand squiggles...

I died a thousand deaths while trying to wipe away crying 10,000 tears

A winter's splendor spoiled

o'er the yonder peaks

the snow half formed

falls on the heads

of those most bored

in the form of water,

10,000 feet....

Most annoying thing the body produces
Is eye gunk to me it's downright useless
But helps when we cry
Lubricating the eyes
Aren't we due for a 10,000 mile service...

What a beautiful sky we saw last night
I'm sure you will agree
Pastel colors so blazing bright
As far as the eye could see
But if you take the prettiest sunset
That you ever saw
And times it by 10,000
Still your beauty's even more

Im not one
to die for
but to die
10,000 times

You don’t know me
I don’t know myself
Maybe one day we will

Will know

Theres nothing to know
Theres more to me
than myself
Theres more to you
than you

Behind this façade
We are...

 Lenore
Your words to others are divine
Their responses are in kind
The aura I see around you is blue
While some may not know, they see it too
Even when your mired
You 10,000 watt smile lights the room
You inspire me!
Your persona is like perfume
wafting on the air
Always with a kind word, an open ear,
and a heart that cares...

Sometimes in life, although it be,
a person can be good.

For reasons we don't understand,
perhaps misunderstood.

To wrap your mind around the facts
is not an easy thing..

No pilot in the cockpit;
"Look!,"; he's standing on the wing!

"Don't jump!", we say, he looks around
he doesn't say a word.

He jumps 10,000 feet to earth;
at last he's finally cured!...

Today, I was missed by a bullet
fired by a sniper in Syria,  
a runaway train 10,000 miles from it, 
and every swing of the 
Grim Reaper’s scythe in between. 
A repeat of so many days 
of good coincidences.

Life is but an accident of time and geography,
we the beneficiaries of a random amnesty.

Tomorrow, I shall rise 
and raise song unto the vaulting blue 
for my privilege of sun....

polar ice cap melts
bears cling to floating glaciers...
    world’s top is shifting

north pole relocates
tropical forests are glazed...
     history repeats




*Entry for Skat’s “Top of the World” haiku contest.  Many scientists believe the North Pole is in the process of shifting and that there is no real danger from alleged “global warming.”  It’s a natural cycle that recurs about every 10,000 years....

AIR FOR SALE=+=THINK.
Vomit into rusty sink.
Sick all day long.
Fading into the haze.
Black-red-green cloud maze.
10,000 chems and more.
Mix in the air - SHUT DOOR !
Tape the windows good.
Clean air machine - VoooooM !
Inside I'm alive today.
Unborn child - whats to say.
On the couch - T.V. on.
Food tube in my arm.
Just hiding thinking of the sky.
Those multi-colored clouds pass by.

from my poem book - DREAMS 2...

Folks 10000 heads of cattle have died in Kansas, and the farmers say they have never seen anything like this event even with the high heat. What is killing their cattle and it is obvious it is being orchestrated for the coming food shortage. Check out the Prepared Homestead on YouTube.  Travis did a video on this travesty of cattle deaths. God bless you all... Also 97 food facillities have been destroyed since Biden took office......

If I had a penny, for every hundred dollar, what denomination what I have?
10,000 pennies are in $100,
 Every dollar is 100 pennies, 
And 100 x 100 = 10,000. 
10,000 pennies take up 213 cubic inches
 And weigh 55.1 pounds.
 Much more cumbersome than a crisp $100 bill
 At 0.07 cubic inches money cometh…
booya!!

thought and perception

conception and perception
these are the objects
to which we awaken
this morning..
this is creation
happening anew
each of us
with a big bang
awakening..
perception separates
and cognition names..
cognition of time
hangs together the
10000 pieces..relating
and making whole pieces..
the whole pieces point 
to that which is the same
for each of us
and out of which
unending big bangs
color our day......

Sitting alone she whispered:

“I wish I had Poetry”

A passing butterfly
           Offered her wings
A setting sun
          Its “orange-ness”
The passing breeze
          Its scented story
The croaking frogs
         Their harmony
10,000 insects
         A riffled hum
A distant Loon
         Its eerie call
A silent Owl
        Blinked
               Its eyes saying

“we are poetry”
             “become as we”

She no longer sits alone

10,000 vacant dwellings
In Manhattan are for rent
Which even a vaccine would prove
Too late to quite prevent.

For people left in droves, their reasons
Obvious and sad – 
No jobs or money to sustain
The lifestyle that they had.

The city, minus all the buzz,
Is lacking in appeal
So all those bare apartments
Don’t seem like the greatest deal.

If even I, a city gal,
With New York blood and mind,
Is questioning the urban life,
Will any lease be signed?...

Ten thousand years 
One hundred lives i've waited for my loves to be found
8 trials i've long since passed 
7 more as well i've long since beaten
1 trial of love i cannot pass
But i can't lose this one anymore’
I love you my loves
So don't close me out
I can't wait another 10,000 Years
I admire chang'e in her palace on the moon
But i cannot live in her cold palace
So let me in 
Let me feel thorough weel or woe i may find
My loves you've won my heart divine...

Listen to poem:

Double Feature 
David J Walker

Every today 
	And
Every tonight
10,000 ways to
To capture each in 
High gloss 
Black & White

All in sequenced order 
When touched turned into a
Moving motion picture 
Framed in Technicolor

While I take my seat
At the border 
Repeating the lines
That were mine
Now printed and cut
The best left on the
Editors floor 

And still,  
I come back for more
Another double feature 
With my name framed 
In the lights of the Marque...
