pessimism
Due to the forecast, foreboding fellas have cancelled the parade.
Despite the weather, bring umbrellas, join us as we promenade.

Listen to poem:

The Rare Rainbow at Night
David J Walker


by the hundreds 
my regrets gather in the
cul-de-sac end of each day
each with its own number
each its own name and 
definition connected to 
a list of possible synonyms and
well defined antonyms of sins 
committed in the past

the atonement of another tonight
is attached to a rainbow 
i cannot see 
until the morning...

Logical Meets Illogical 


Are we
ever happy
inside,really,
or  dumfounded
under hopes.

Always, questions
elude serious
investigations, bewilders
ordinary, acknowledged
understanding.  

Alarming solutions, 
explanations to
intricate queries, 
obviously will
unsettle. 

Antonyms come, 
enthralling, philosophical
in nature
once realized,
unforgettable.

I was fine in my bubble
just some Moses in my own parting
and yes, you ruined my thoughts
and spun me in antonyms 

I always wondered 
why I prayed for apocalypse before sleep
and waking up, still whatever, 
whatever, was always
outside

whispering planets secretly in my ear
you left me jungles and deserts, 
you handed me worlds I never knew
what to do with
and all the time tempting me
to join with you
naked...

Words
Nouns, adjectives, verbs...
Synonyms and antonyms
That constitute similes, metaphors, acronyms,

...and phrases

That by the brush of the tongue
Illustrate life
In all its phases

And by the collab
of heart and hand
Bring life
to blank pages...


Words,
Used to persuade,
Used to describe
Used to express
What is felt inside

Used to connect
Used to divide,
Used at your discretion
But in your selection,
Be wise...

To debate
To rebel
The antonyms monopolize
To express
To support
The synonyms monopolize
And now the child memories both
And never distinguishes between them
The positives from the negatives 
The moral from the immoral
The saints from the devils
As they are forever morally Overestimated by the grown-ups
Until they are vandalism-prone Underestimated
With a future collapse of morality 
In this fabulous and glamorous world
Full of both antonyms and synonyms...

Suspicious vows mocking arouse
classic gowns masked ball an spouse
reflection of dark eyes in all mirrors
red dresses of pure silk satin 
men's tux fervently impassioned
scent of an unknown mystical dawn
sudden back to violin an tango vin
worried figure takes place heartfelt
may i have this dance madam 
hence float the scent deep faint
moves freely like antonyms dictionaries
compared by experts an missionaries
unexpectedly sunk in a crush 
an flee out of th' ball in rush...
