Dog Alert

my dog was barking
             alerting me once again
              a wolf near my porch

*I had a wolf come to my yard today.

Contemplating Destiny

O, when youthful sighs of solitude
    seek out trails o'er which to brood

  And contemplate men's destinies
    'midst myriad foibles and tendencies

  Why, then it is I sound the alarm
    alerting them ~ 'a job' does no harm

Savoring Petrichor

magic oil released in the air
prior to rainfall
alerting us to earthworms
and April showers
Being a pluviophile I adore
the fragrance of petrichor
it opens up my memory
light delicate rains
and cold bitter pelting rains
I savor this scent in silence

Honey Guide Bird and His Partner Honey Badger

Honeyguide bird has a special pal
He teams up with a honey badger gal
Honeyguide finds bee’s hive and makes a call
Alerting honey badger, his partner, a friendly doll
Badger eats the sap, honeyguide bird eats the wax
This is just one of a bunch of interesting facts

Dog Pound Call Out

Just a thought for fans of Kdash,

K was outed by Dog named Snoop.

Video jus called her garden tool trash,

alerting brothers, he shovels the poop!


For the Chastushka contest. 

Hardly political but Snoop really reflected upon the “culture” of K.

Props to Snoop Dog!

Happy Thoughts

 i pinch my body a million times; asking myself am i dreaming? is this real? or maybe am stuck in dreamland.
I feel like jumping into the sky, trying to extent my joy.
I don't know how i can express myself but my sensory neuron are alerting my happy nerves to blow in my mind with joyousness

On Pain

physical pain
I live with
every day

I am told...
pain is nature's
way of alerting us
to danger
to life threatening
possibilities
so it's got 
a purpose...
maybe so
but to me...
"Nature Can Go Shove It!"
I've tasted far
too much pain.

my body tells me clearly...
not to buy any
green bananas.

When Harmony Faltered

Enamored with desire
Genuine tug she felt
Cuddling sensual love

Till knock on the door
Startled her vision.

Reluctantly she awoke
Knowing why he came
As familiar vibrations
Announced his name

Sounding a warning
When harmony faltered
As the songbird missed
Its rhythm on purpose

Alerting her sanctity
To resume her dream
Opting veritable fantasy
Over spurious reality.

Spring Squirrel

The squirrel,on the big branch looked so soulfully at me. His beautiful, dancing eyes so charming as he if he were trying to say  something. A deep secret, too eloquent to be put in a poem. He turned gracefully, suddenly. His secret? I took it home, very stealthfully. *Original version had error in last line. Thanks, Gershon for alerting me. Apologies to all!* 5/23/2019 12:50 pm PS

Year My Mind Disappeared 1969

Sticks with poison chopper blades spinning
Descending Dust off to the ground
Yellow smoke alerting grenades launching
Red cross landing AK’s shooting
Bloody men lifted aboard 

Bandages dripping with blood
Traps set bouncing Betty ready
C rations ate M-16 awaits 
Back to fighting a war
Naked and afraid 

When will I wake up from this nightmare

Honest Lie

Your beautiful unfaithful lips once,
Brushed against mine planting dishonest kisses.
Your voice of treason spoke,
With a falseness in its tone.

Raising my inner suspicions,
Alerting my heart of duplicity.
I pondered the frequent question,
Why were you selling out our dreams?

Your disloyalty flickered,
Like a candle in the dark.
I have a feeling you won’t be returning,
So please give me one more honest lie,
And say you will...to keep me sane.

The Crime of the Clock

Listen to poem:
The Crime of the Clock
David J Walker

Only now do I know
 	The name of my youth 
Printed on tablets of stone
A suspicious truth 
Laced in vermouth
the creative slaves 
And the innocent naves
Dine alone 
In the booth 
Of their own design 

Only now do I know
	The lateness of the hour
And the power 
Of the clocks opine 
A chime of the truth
Or so says the sooth 
Each tick and its tock 
Responds to the clock 
Alerting the sleuth
To its crime

As the Crow Flies

As The Crow Flies

Staring past the curtain,
At the vigilant crow upon the mast,
The creature unaware of a presence,
In a moment forever lost.

Unflappable in its endeavour,
A breather from its hunt,
A distorted view of the world,
Its cackle alerting its murder..... of its next tenacious stunt!

Unperturbed by darkness,
Its itinerary meticulous, movement, stealth like,
As day gives way to darkness,
A sky drifting magenta decline

Justifying Plagiarism


Seems plagiarism, isn’t a crime Let’s copy lines we deem sublime Perhaps from Shakespeare Or wit Edward Lear And poet’s deceased a long time It's pointless alerting admin Cos stealing work’s not deemed a sin It’s really not fair To steal works out there It happened much to our chagrin Known clichés which are now passé Just copy them and post away Then act with denial Sit tight, even smile And perhaps, get Poem of the Day!

Monsoon In The West

A classic wind upstaged the evening,
Vocalizing Leaves and Tremulous Aria 
Branches. On accompanying fused-sand, framed
and clear, began a run of finely tuned
rivulets -- busy writing, I had not
looked, and saw, dark clouds conjugating -- 
nor sniffed thickening troops of air~ my 
sinuses alerting, their usual swelling.  Came a lantern's
flash, came a vivid slash, rumbling
likened to a heavily weighted freight-train, with frantic
mind to lighten its burdensome, brooding load.
