Short Decimal Poems

balance sheets the same,

                      but for the decimal points

of wealth, love, peace, fame...

Infinite Loves Pi
Circling souls, forever one,
Decimal twirls, a spiral kiss
Endless loop, hearts entwined
Burning bright, love's endless climb.

School day memories,
Were Maths and literacy,
Did compound interest, you see,
Before decimal currency,
Had no calculators, 
Used our brains, good for later!...

Without our longings,
what's the point of our strivings,
small, stranded earthlings?

Balance sheets the same,
but for the decimal points
of wealth, love or fame!...

Room painted...
Slipcovers...
Bankrupcy  

Ellip form..
Ellipical means placing decimal or period
to note that it is not a finished line or 
thought?.....

Roadside stop...
Activity...
Humans go...  

Ellip...
Unfinished thoughts or coping from another but not finishing
Ellipical is periods or decimal points placed to show that has happened?...

Behold the lit splendor of an arcade

that bleeds her copper shawl, its final glow

awaiting dusk to grasp last flares of blade,

when decimal of time changes the flow

and in repose, glazed orb succumbs to row.

big hatted cat in a
hip city flat
remembering that
he was in a big
city
flat

not patient
like some other
dead cat

just not sure who's flat...or
why somebody else's

leaning over the balcony rail
looking across the 
city

smoking a cigarette

shifting through too many
impressions

responding with
so little
effect...

a pink tupperware container in the cupboard,
   filled with salt kept in its acrid epitaph.

  now its been years since the cabinets mouthed around
  the windows.

  the need for dry sinues grows.

 

 blood purified rushes to the heart drawn by the
 meter and decimal.

 a moment and a memory unravels in the skin.

 we learn to get by on a little less....

Converting within the SI units,
Or metric system,
Is not a tough task.
How do you begin?
There are 2 ways,
That I know,
Dimensional analysis,
By using the powers of ten,
Or moving the decimal by,
Using this acronym,
KHDDCM-
King Henry Died Don't Call Me,
Or King Henry Died Drinking Chocolate Milk.
Which one do you use?
Use the one that is easier to you....

I have always wondered 
What the biggest and smallest number is. 
I thought about it 
And realized that numbers have no limits. 

There is no smallest number, 
Even on the negative side. 
You can continually add numbers 
And still not find the largest number. 

As for decimals, you can keep adding digits in the decimal places 
As many as you wish 
Numbers know no limits 

Numbers are eternal....

If bottoms up seemingly means down
And if square circle means being round I
I am confessing
 I've learned the lesson
Triangular infuse portions
Lay dormant decimal misplaced
Dollar signs erased
No monies have I
My pockets are turned inside out and empty
My mind lies dormant like my back on a bed
My confusion is My confession without breath I am dead

Programmed to fail but the rogue programme sails on
into decimal places where few people have gone.

Is it that time already?, said Teddy, 
who was going to a picnic with Yogi.

The answer on the street,
it's time for us to meet

But it's Thursday, exclaimed Friday
who was sat under a palm tree.

I woke in Tewkesbury and
who knows where that is.

it's okay
I'm rearranging the signals
trying for better reception
and not going mental
as some would suggest....

Listen to poem:

Closed Account
David J Walker

The uncertain
Decimal point is real yet
Unforeseen 
The last scene of the 
Latest dream of a 
Vague and future
 happiness 

The language is Pigeon 
And unfamiliar
An inspiration of 
Lukewarm winds
An overdrawn account 
Of promised future days
Compromised and 
Secured only in unsigned 
Promissory notes

And yet the plan is
To retire young 
While the infirm 
Await their turn 
To expire
To the tune of a
Closed account
