Will find her bashful...

Friends, admirers, haters, destroyers
Gossiping, bossing, glaring
Passive, aggressive

Irish are ye, Mr. Patrick
Saint are ye, worthy of a limerick?
Are you the one we celebrate
The one on my green hat and cake 
Admirers a many till this day, Mr. Patrick...

Rose's thorns scare admirers away
There's not much a poor flower can say
   Her skin is so prickly
   It makes suitors sickly
So she shows them her petals ~ Come play!...

Autumnal power 
Collected a summer of admirers
Now she Stoops to Conquer

Me monkey like watching in awe 
Cast a big stick high into the big tree
Now proudly I Stoop to Conker...

The air, sedate as vacant
This, hot enfolds
Buzz-fizzed, to a blue distance
Blooming romance?

Count as many eyes, delving
The daisy-faced!
Admirers, all, for the bee!
We, in love see....

Lucky girl
look at her,
sitting there.  

Her admirers 
all aware.
Staring

They love
her

She's the "it" girl
The one they all 
adore

It will never be me
No one sits and 
stares

They glare
eyes wide
hateful....

I'm friends with a fellow named John John
I'm wondering where his curly locks have gone gone
Perhaps a very strong blow
Blew his toupee off his patio
Now he's annoyed by lady admirers all day long

light deep inside pink orchid 
illuminates her beauty in a perfect way
she parades it delicately without arrogance
her admirers fawn at her fragrance
dainty dots freckle her petals in ultimate loveliness
there is no applause, but there should be...

You gather us in ransom to others joy,
Clustered together; graceful your smile.

Bewitched the admirers venture to muse;
For art is priceless and eternal.

Lilly pads watch infinity.
Floating on still waters,
Frogs sigh.
Flowers glide to God Almighty.
Alluring admirers,
Birds fly.

The world shrank
Into clusters of words
Into remote silence
Into piles of bulky pages
All stood neatly and politely on selves
Waiting and serving their admirers 
Suddenly the internet broke in one day
And conquered them 
But they remained silence 
Still hoping for their old friends 
To drop in one day...

Hey girl think before you give your precious moment,
Hey girl keep your standards high
For you and your interests are important
And you hold the right to deny.

Hey girl love yourself as no one does,
Give your admirers, some space
But keep an ocean of your buzz,
To fly as if no one can touch your pace.

Now that I'm old, 
though often told "You'll never 
be old," by admirers conspiring
to make me feel better by e-mail and letter,
my balance is not what it used to be.

I'm far too vain to use a cane, 
and though needing a boost 
to be loosed from my chair, I 
accept the dare to gird my loins 
and Youth-en backwards....

Listen to poem:

The David
David J Walker

I’ve touched the David’s
Blackened toe 

Standing in awe below 
a man captured in marble 

And marvel at his patients 
For a rescue chiseled in stone

There is a line of admirers 
Standing in an August rain 

Waiting to see him 
Waiting their turn 

To touch his toe
Smiling for a camera...

Of her and Thee,
Strange be the Comparison!
The Mid-Summer’s Shine,
And the old-autumn’s!
That Pine in the peak,
And that by the forest’s feet!
The Romans were, or the Greeks,
And these aimless mechanicals?
The admirers of emotions and nature,
And the poor followers of reason!
Or the lines of Williams or the Johns,
And these?...

I am the guardian of the garden
Sower of the seeds
Quencher of the drought
Destroyer of the weeds
It attracts many admirers
Seldom am I alone when I'm there
The butterflies, the bees, and I
Go about our work with care
I am the guardian of the garden
The tender to its needs
And while I am busy tending to it
It is my soul it feeds...

Oh pagan mistress, your sins weighed heavy
Your conspicuous makeup masks your unsightliness
If only your admirers knew of your sins against man
They would have, long ago, cast you into the streets
Harlot, bide your time, bide your time o' woman of ill repute
Soon, your patrons will see you for who you really are
Then, the weeping and gnashing of your teeth will be...

Once You gave it, it is ours
Nothing can ever take it away
Whether it is an attribute
A quality, a state, a phenomenon
All are given without retracting
They are Your choices
Endow to Your admirers
Gift from above
Only You determine
When, what, and why
We can never guess You 
It will never go away
With life’s occurrences
Divine, wonderment, rarity
Your present
Yours...

There is something about photos...
They freeze a moment’s time forever.
You see decades as though it were yesterday.
Images of good memories shine in our hearts,
like fresh roses in spring.
Photographs capture emotions in an instant,
disclosing envious eyes, secret admirers,
and lasting friends.
A photo is a single jigsaw puzzle that unravels
many secrets.

Result of work will truly talk
About the way how one performs;
Nothing good comes from easy walk,
No success gained without the storms.
Yes, one chases the ticking clock,
Driving fast with his platforms;
Employing plan despite the block,
Just to implement the reforms.
Even many admirers stalk,
Silently knowing his brainstorms;
Until they gather like a flock,
So he acquaints as he informs....

Oh, pretty pastel lion with your puffy cheeks
Beauty is in your colors, your eyes green as creeks.
A mere description is not enough to show your worth.
I hear you have admirers from Kenya to Perth.

I wonder about your heritage your fur is so true.
With a gorgeousness about it in both pink and blue.
Oh pretty pastel lion, you are what we talk about.
However, we do not want to meet you on our walk-about....

Cynosure

Not so sure cynosure
surrounded by an
entourage of well paid
admirers.
Circus whore
performing tricks
for those who
worship costumed
beauty.
Underscored cynosure
frail ego’s faults
magnified
on stadium screens,
lip syncing a
voiceless lie.
Dinosaur cynosure
too soon afraid
of ageing
too late to savor
youth.

optimistic gremmie hits the beach with her new board
eager to take on magnificent crests, showing off her stuff
her knowledge minimal, but her courage impressive
an aggro gives her a few tips, then goes along his way

aggro gets caught in the backwash, and rides the aerial
gremmie watches, enthralled, entranced, amazed.
she bails a few times, wondering if she will live or die.
She’s got it, he thinks happily, the heart of a surfer....

Thunder roars throughout the night,
Echoing off the walls of white.

Beyond the rooftops the sky glows
With splendid colors of varied tones.

Glint of the fireworks coquettishly imbue
The dark satin sky with a wondrous revue.

Along the shore admirers look to see
Dancing lights mirroring on a wading sea.

The raining confetti fades away,
Leaving all yearing the fulgent display. 

Another year they all must wait
To celebrate the new and stay up late....
