Short Factor In Poems

Today's college-bound guys and gals
   prioritize the essentials with certitude

The number one factor in choosing a school
   ~ is the quality and variety of the food...

Awesomely correct
Can you make the 
Chemistry goal
Uncertainty is not 
Real factor in this
Also it is like hitting
Complete bull’s-eyes after 5 tries
Yeah accuracy is real business....

Love is a GENUINE FACTOR in a man's HEART. 
IT IS THE ESSENCE OF GOD.

WHILE GOD IS A MAJOR. BEING in A MAN'S MIND 
AND SOUL. 

See that you not be TOLD THAT THIS IS THEORY.
FOR THIS IS FACT....

Proximity is the major factor in who tickles your tickler
The odds are small of tickling ticklers beyond your perimeter 
Even though if you met      
All worked up you'd get
The sweetie down the streetie will most likely click your clicker...

If thoughts are worth a penny
(Which was once the going rate),
Then those folks who haven’t any
Should just bide their time and wait.

If we factor in inflation,
What we think’s worth so much more
Than the age-old application
Of that passé metaphor.

Still, no matter what they’re paying
To express what’s in our head,
There will still be some displaying
Merely emptiness instead....

Listen to poem:

Gradually Grudgingly Giving In
David J Walker

The cold holds no such 
Color so bold as winters bite
remembering so many a
Summer night
The warm leaving
Sweat so wet on 
The back of your neck
in the faded moonlight
that looked for all the same
In December 
until you factor in
the distant solstice sun and the 
Longer nights

The cold will hold on 
As long as it can 
Gradually 
	Grudgingly 
Giving in...

No one will say it

In exactly the same way

No one actually

Ever really did

Explain it

Either 

Did they

They never do 

When they are trying

To sell you something 

Otherwise you probably might

Just not have choose to buy it

In the first place then

Would you 

Come to think of it

Then everything falls to pieces 

Once you factor in and throw we

Human beings into the mix 

Per - Say

When I think of you time passes,
Then soon I am done with time
While thoughts of you persist

What becomes another day,
Always becomes a thought of you
Sweet and kind and a love

Why we haven’t given in yet,
Is something that has to be – 
Now and forever time stands

Where you are when you’re gone,
Is not a factor in my day
Because you are here with me

While I am yours today
Tomorrow comes easily
Before you or I know, it’s here....

Why I now, "Just say no"



              Light turns to black
        Everything slowly fades away
      Mental faculties no longer react
        Curtain call to life's play
  The key factor in this demise flows through the veins
  Ravaging the body until nothing remains
    Nothing good that needle contained
  Next time may put me six feet under on my back

Realization is a factor in everyday life
You realize what is going on around you
But do you really
Do you realize when your being played
Do you realize what you want
Then do you realize that you can't have it
Do you realize what you can have
But wait for it to leave before you realize you want it
That's everyday life
Pay attention to the world around you
Don't let your chance pass you by
Because it may never come back and that's when you realize you miss it...

We each of us make choices – 
Where to live and what to wear,
The type of work we’ll do
And just how much of life we’ll share.

A thousand small decisions
Factor in to who we are,
Determining how close we’ll get
To goals (or else how far).

Our options float before us
Every day that we’re alive.
We pick them or ignore them
So we wither or we thrive.

Though some of us are lucky
With alternatives galore,
We all make our selections
‘Til we cannot anymore....

Listen to poem:

the piano notes
filled the night with magic

our hearts swaying as one
to the rhythm and the rhyme

nothing else existed
the night was ours

time no longer a factor in the equation
we had crossed into the realm of infinity

the cosmos ours to do with as we pleased
so we danced we danced we danced

If you get injured, what’s the price
To help assuage your pain?
Do lawyers factor in how much
You whimper or complain?

Of course there are the doctor bills
And days you couldn’t work
Or drive or shop or do the chores
You’d never think to shirk.

They even take into account,
With formulas complex,
What’s owed to someone if
An injured spouse cannot have sex.

No matter what the payoff is,
I’m sure each wounded soul
Would gladly give up all that cash
To once again be whole....
