I have lost my way to you
Moving with new finger
My days are at sixes and sevens
Yet I am enjoying the waves....

Comfort and bright light
Never shading the obscure
Blind to love awakening
Listening to truth
Keeping my eyes on over
Being concerned with brightness

Caterpillar
Segmented, Colorful
Crawling, Nibbling, Hiding
Larva, Cocoon, Wings, Freedom
Fluttering, Landing, Pollinating
Pristine, Delicate

I have bared it time and again
with the innocence of a child,
and showed you all my grief and pain
a bleeding heart that smiles,
now show me once your concealed heart
to find what lies there
fragments of this numb heart,do you still share.

Came home early and what do I see
but two bad kitties in a knocked over tree!

Looking so innocent off they run
and now the clean-up has begun.

I can't stay mad at them for long
but the broken ornaments-that's just wrong!

raspberry pink sky
flat-topped mountain ridge beneath. . . .
chocolate crust pie

clouds coalescing
trimming twilight’s slice of sky. . . .
dollops of whipped cream

Listen to poem:

Critical Creations
David J Walker

All of these eyes
These words
Surfacing for attention

Arriving in Wrhymes of 
twos and threes 
Arriving with bad baggage in
		Sixes and sevens 
but no intentions

The no knowing of certain
And uncertain 
Definitions

It’s the same for 
	Every beginning of
Critical creations...

Ten-times-twenty twirling frog was from Mathematics Town.
She danced her numbers better than any clown.
She spun sixes and sevens as if they were not straight.
I was impressed she could multiply up to twenty-eight.

I saw her divide sixty-four-thousand-and-twenty-two
By many numbers that I could never hope to do.
I do not do math, it is not my talent, interest, or game.
So I am glad we have ten-times-twenty, who has an appropriate name....

Artist Painter

Painters still another poet,
unhappy till they reach their stride,
reaching for the finished masterpiece, obsession burns inside,

see perfection, get it now,
one more stroke will it decide,
no alas still slight in-perfection, struggles battles feels the pride.





   








 Yes you are right Caroline Cecile

At ten, I have composure to maintain
At nine, I know the chance is all but mine
At eight, I beat back fears and thoughts of a one-eighty
At seven, I am at sixes and sevens
At six, I draw my know-how and pull all of my tricks
At five, it is lose or win, die or survive
At four, all my strength is brought to the fore
At three, I am careful and carefree
At two, I am at point of no return but follow through
At one, it was easier said now it’s done
At zero, I am either a trier or a hero...
