silence is broken
as dog barks in back country
alerting owners...

The weather vane turns
Alerting us to the fate
That nature does hold....

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

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...

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...

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!...

 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  ...

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....

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.

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!*

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

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....

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

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
