Air Guitar

I was trying to tune my Air Guitar,
When the G string snapped and twang.
Worse than that my Amp blew up,
and went with one hell of a bang....

I love a good rhythimic beat
I can imitate a drum with the pounding of my feet
Whether it's rock & roll or rap
A stadium amp or a backwards cap
Any type of music makes me get out of my seat...

Seattle to Kensington a short journey indeed

He became experienced through his guitar amp feed

He lived his life like a machine gun

Hey Joe plays little wing, on the third stone from the sun...

Bliss bubbles burst
Lamp of love is lit
Iridescent illumination
Soft scented silence 
Suffuses spacial soul

What turns me on
and amps my juice?
It's physical work,
with no excuse.

Muscles will ache,
I'll work up a sweat.
Dirt under my nails,
some Band-Aids, you bet.

Dig right in
and get'er done.
Step back and enjoy,
the pride I have won.

she double
parked in
new york
city running
with a hundred
dollars into a
music store
told the man
behind the
counter what
electric guitar
and amp can
i get with this
showing him
her money and
he showed her
the goods that
now i'm glad
i have after
she gave me
what she
got...

---#3 of 4---
quarter to six
listen to some Styx 
and play the bass

jumping up and down 
always messing around 
nothing better too do

tripped over the amp, 
bass guitar, and a ramp
fell out the window.

cracked open his head 
better left unsaid 
sorry for your loss.

now up in the sky 
hanging with Ron, John and the big Guy....

Excuse me while I kiss the sky
Seeking answers – why’d Jimi die?

Perhaps it was the Burning of the Midnight Lamp
Hey Joe!  Don’t know? Revisit his amp

Purple Haze shrouded by mystery
Woodstock legend resounds in history

Vietnam veteran’s soulful, haunting cry
Excuse me while I kiss this guy

A-fter the noon is gone, 
N-ew moon begins to come; 
N-o more light from the beacon, although the wind stays calm. 

V-iew from everywhere 
I-s black, dark, and gray; 
L-amp can guide your steps, 
L-ife on earth is not all-day. 
A-s twenty-first of December 
J-oins the birthday delight; 
U-nderneath the coal sky, 
A-im not to fear the 
N-ight....

L-amp of truth enlightens
Y-our guest's meticulous mind; 
N-o labyrinth of lies or darkness you can find.

A-im to use the lamp of truth, 
G-iving men a chance to know; 
U-ntil their very eyes look
I-nto clear messages that glow.
L-et the twenty-fourth of January
A-llow your life to bear fruit; 
R-econnect with the people to win them by the lamp of truth....

A random thought, strange lines are drawn
Starbursts exploding in the brain 
Parallel pathways amp the gain
From small to shrimp, from shrimp to prawns
Tangentially, another dawns 
Möbius-like, it loops again, 
    a random thought.

Eternal Now, it is explained,
sees ere I was till long past gone.
Now that’s a thought to linger on…
So did I now just entertain
    a random thought?

Listen to poem:

The Tie Dye Grave
David J  Walker

A gray ponytail from
A balding head 
Vintage love beads and 
A waterbed
A Garrard turntable and a 
Marantz Amp 
Pioneer speakers and a
Roach clip clamp
Some far-out sneakers
And a Lava lamp
Jimi Hendrix in a purple haze
Moody Blues from 
Future past days
McCartney & Lennon in the
Beatles craze
The old grey hippie will his
Souvenirs save and
Take the 60’s to a 
Tie dye grave...

J-ump on the bandwagon, 
E-nter eagerly into a cause; 
F-all not and falter never
F-rom winning at all cost.
R-amp-up to full speed, 
E-levate your determination; 
Y-our effort has increased, intensifying your action.

Z-oom by on your lane, 
E-arnestly reach for the line; 
N-ot far behind is the crown, 
A-llowing your eyes to find.

O-f the jewel at the horizon;

A-s you jump on the bandwagon....

Baby has a new Jasey that's navy blue
N-we're gonna dance in our neon shoes
Yea we have to shake it go amp up the tunes
Baby has a new Jasey that's navy blue

We got it alright shuffle and sway
in flashin lights the latest move's rave
Glide is on time Bendin a frame
about to get tight our own cabaret.

The whole place is quakin scraping a hoof
We're takin it up raising the roof
Cuttin some shapes Bustin-m- Loose
Baby has a new Jasey that's navy blue....

Stoic, the mic stand is circumspect 
of all the energy in the room;
Waiting but will not remain unchecked;

Calm throughout the process of load in
now leading this layout of the stage;
Headlining’s a stroke of good fortune;

Crowd awaits the collective player
as that set list is taped to the floor;
High is their hum that hangs in the air;

Limelight’s on as the amp starts smiling 
eager to take them all to the edge;
Breaking that sound barrier shredding....

Morning Dew An Acrostic-

Marginal misses shoot moist.
Operatic airs announced mist.
Red sprinkles scatter clear blue.
Native airs convey moist.
Involuntary omissions omit mist less.
Near misses relish true mist.
Greater increases enhance light wetness.

Damp bangs pull damp.
Enormous clouds darken chance.
White sprinkles moisten true.
