My grandfather's name
Was given to me at birth
To honor the man
That my father never knew
Having died in World War Two
Chasing the gold
Charley got old
Youth passed him on the course
left him with his namesake
~ poor charley horse
much like her namesake
bit by bit she disappears
into the shadows

an orange betrays its true colors
GREEN when immature, its namesake when "ripe"
an apple, hides its true flavors
Green when "green" but from red passion to yellow lies
Richard's namesake Leo played for Les Canadiens
Way back in the forties when their reign didn't end
A magical time
Their reign was sublime
The Rocket, Boom Boom and Beliveau did ascend
Delicious ,enchanting
Drooly, taste set afire
Deluge of sensations
Delight , bewitch, enthrall
Dishy, savoury, to
Die for, is ambrosial
Divinity's namesake!

Staring into her eyes, I see peace.
I seek her joy by all means
like my favorite food- rice.
She is beautiful
She is awesomeful
Her name is Emma
My Savior's namesake- Emma
Little wonder I like her
Christ's glory shining on her
Her Name Is Emma.
My life's great sorrow,
no namesake to carry on.
Pages of my book empty.
Shards of my glass heart,
pierced deep into childless grief.
Drown in my sea of regret.

Jack Upheld His Namesake
her jack-in-the-box order arrived at her door
it was extra everything and she let out a roar
jack was quick and nimble
he added an extra pickle
when jack left he upheld his namesake and lore

Boy.
Our first boy, boy.
My namesake, boy.
Fetch my tools, boy.
Cry beating belt, boy.
Make me proud, boy.
Ignore my cruelty, boy.
War's killing eats us, boy.
Comes home each night, boy.
Never mind the misery, boy.
She smiled at you, Boy!
They kill for their namesake
Blinded with visions of righteousness
Mirrored with images of self
Sanctifying, with daggers plunging deep
Crowds gather in loyalty
Massed in fear, assembled in hatred
Adherence to dogmas of a farsighted kind
While master deceivers bloom like orchids
Twitching finger
Symptomatic to Parkinson,
And his namesake dis-ease,
Holding a dirty pistol,
Pointing out the barrel
Is unaimed, but serendipitously
On the right parabolic trajectory...
And boom, boom, boom
Out go the lights.
Instant justice, for
Justice missing the target.
Edsel Ford launched the Edsel auto much to his Pa's consternation!
He hyped it hoping his namesake would reach top sales across the nation!
Edsel touted it as the latest and greatest but it proved to be a flop!
Folks soured on this woeful lemon since it spent most of its time in the shop!
For the favor of people and greed
I will not bring shame to my namesake.
A believer's crown, they don't esteem;
For the favor of people and greed
They lie and do a hideous deed
But take heart – enjoy what's good and straight
For the favor of people and greed
Will only bring shame to your namesake.

Poet’s Note - A tree fell on my house thus the inspiration for this poem.
Marc Chagall - artist would paint ghostly figures flying in sky and his fiddler on the roof was the inspiration for the movie namesake.
Ochre Field
The ritual
Of hailing Ra
Begins anew each morning.
Golden faces
straighten to meet
The first rays of their namesake.
Dew-tipped petals
Surround the ebony Cyclops
As each giant flower awakens.
They stand
Vigilant in the field
As blossomed monoliths of life.
They sway
In tune with Mariah,
Waiting to entice the pollen seekers.
The Climb
Up and up we
Climb up the spiral
Staircase.
Each step you take
You curse my
Namesake
Each step I take
Each Moment
I wish someone
Else could
Take my place
When we get
To the top
Look out
At the vista
Watching the ocean
Lick the sugar sand
Coastline
Nothing but
Peace is
On your face.
Climbing the
Lighthouse Was
Not a waste.
The square has four equal sides. Whether it is
in North America., South America, Africa, Asia,
Europe, Antarctica and Australia it remains
the same. From the highest mountain, deepest
Undersea lake to the most luxurious valley it measures
the same. No matter the holder, or the way it
is turned by life's challenges. global integrity
is it's namesake.
On hot field days they wave to the flowers,
And matching grasshoppers climb their stems,
As pink butterflies visit in the lazy hours,
While their sly namesake doesn't notice them!
Frequently a chorus of crickets can be heard,
As they sway gracefully under Moon and Mars.
When beauty is spoken without a single word,
Like a distant sound of summer night guitars!

Listen to poem:
String of Lights
David J Walker
Stretching as far back as
I can remember
A string of lights shines
(one at a time)
On each day
The wall plug energizes from
Deep within the last century
Dulling each mise-en-scène
That is numbered
As I walk down its namesake lane
The nearest shine bight
(At last fading into a distant past) as
The bulbs flicker their luster and
Vanish from sight
The game
Squashed his frame
Socks tainted
Carved out plain
But the road map was tame
Animals replete
With zoo keeper seed
From marsupial greed
A black out rabbit hole
Concealed the frrozen deals
Pincers chopping dollar backs
Red with collar grabs
Soapy suds and beer
The watery love endeared
To carry a child burden
For the sake of namesake
Dust off the the boot heel kickers
And fly kites with cotton pickers
I saw her pics in Zaria
They said her name is Maria
I thought it was a nickname
But, Lo it was her real name
She's not the girl in CNN
She's just a girl in UNN
Her look is so adorable
Her brain is not comparable
I can't explain her loyalty
With all her traits of royalty
King Charles is called His Majesty
Her name should be Her Majesty
She brings to mind St. Goretti
Her namesake MARIAGORETTI.
