	Nature’s meltdowns presage
             tectonic rage
          
         Massive collisions 
             ~ iceberg rampage

Brodorol

If you pored over maps, could you find Wales?
“Details,” you say. Perhaps.
Or maybe such glaring gaps
in knowledge presage collapse.

Premium Member The Paradox of Fall

Fall arrives today, still clad in green,
Clear skies of impossible blue
Presage the riot of color to come;
Hot reds and golds, yet bitter cold - whom to sue?

Premium Member salt of the earth

you who’d not change a single thing in life ~ may not get another chance

whereas i’m guaranteed one more presage ~ i’ve sold my soul in advance 

satan wouldn’t take it ~ so traded with Lot’s wife for her sustained glance

The Cross and the Crows

The crows know that grave symbol they attend
Their sardonic minds perceive ironic message
Stark cross of stone; their memory transcends
The centuries, to day of death but presage
When blood of one who came to make us free
Anointed timber of a scaffold tree

Premium Member Two Buffoons

  One is over-senile
    the other over-penile

  One opens our borders
    the other issues loyalty orders  

  Our execrable Presidential candidates
    presage a once-great country’s fate

  Two utter buffoons America rushes to nominate
    ~ I think on my ballot I’ll regurgitate

Inside Music

A prelude towards love is
Without prejudice,
An admirer of love sees the inside of
Love;
The power of love is motivated by Music,
For the power lies in Music,
And it uniqueness is in the sound.
Music awoke the spirit to Love,
To see the heart and hear her cry;
For Love is without presage
But happiness and sensational joy did
brings to the Heart

Relentless

RELENTLESS
 
Relentless thought,
Relentless desire.
Relentless pain,
Relentless ire.
Driven onward toward a dangerous presage,
fearful and irresistible - relentless
Imperiling things most dear - without caution.
Lessons, well-learned - ignored.
Passions - relentless.
Without sense,
Without refrain.
 Without thought, without thought, without thought...
Relentless.

A Hundred Years Hence

I presage many years hence
My poetry would be read,
To then spread some hope and cheer
Though I would long be dead.

Wish could from some secret door
Be able to see that soul,
Who would read my rhyme and verse
Laud its lyrical scroll.

Such would suffice my labour
For my runes would find their goal,
Reach portals of paradise
Having fulfilled its role.

Wings

They all presage for me 
Signal calamity -
Deep etched lines that fall from Saturn’s mount,
Crabbed  islands on wavering lines of fate,
A mole on the southwest corner of the palm,
I stay calm

For I
Have seen the rising sun lave snowy peaks,
Seen ditchwater drowning dreaded kings,
Hunted with the hoary hounds of hell,
And through these all have seen my poems take wings

Premium Member Clouds

Clouds drift lazily
   Rush crazily
Crescendo-ing might
   Wispy and light

Threaten frightening gloom
   Make way for blue skies' bloom
Herald the fiercest of storms
   Transform the weather to warm

Majestic shapes of awe and thunder
   Presage lightning and thunder
Capricious curly-cues' flight
   Enchanting by day or by night

Fascinate us here on Earth
   Escorts of renewal, rebirth

Premium Member Antecedent Universe

Antecedent Universe

Imagine if a moment
Could be caught on film 

The presage
           The nuance 
		   The spectrum 
The emotion
           The context of

The moment itself 
An eternity in an antecedent universe 

Waiting to be remembered
          Wanting to be recorded

While the shutter clicks
And the film advances 

In the changing incalescence of 
The light 

David J Walker

Wild, the Wind

A shooting star, glistening moon, and wild orchids....
Big hearts magnanimous of gesture and esteem
Winds subside with a moment of stillness.
Presage of dire restraint; beset these closed doors.
Allow a duration that spins above our heads.
Love transcends far beyond adulation and sullen affection.
Round the equation, exception its’ valor.
From a source of goodness, befalls true conquest.

Book of Changes

I consult the I Ching with a question
Only I myself will ask.
Giving Taoism my full attention
Three pennies I will cast.
Six casts in all will yield a hexagram
Chance determines each line.
The bottom three shows plainly who I am
The top three will divine.
Depending on the hexagram result
In it lies a message.
The book of changes I must now consult
Determines the presage.

Wind followed by wind
Is self-realization
One continuum.

Foliage Flatlands

utterly bewildered 
I stood by the nightfall
of stilly midsummer
withering away
with my
westward companion

the glimmering light
of former fears
and penitent pocketbook
faded in a distance
and the imperious presage
of perfunctory morrow
drifted with driftwood
into the vast greenish seas

then the evening was renewed
with foliage flavor
willows and poplars
entwined and enthralled
and according to accordion
divine divers live in flatlands

Vessel

Brooding sky, soaked in red,
cloudless, hidden eyes instead.
Dripping landscapes, broken lines,
burning planet, space and time.

Too much weight to drag and tow
shadow captain pilots know.
Raging currents, reckless whims,
presage flatter, calming conditions.

Her vessel floats alone, she drifts
with battle scars and sleepless lists,
trails of wreckage, the foaming sea,
in her wake I follow distantly.

Myths of luck like rudders hold
legacies, the stuff of stories told.

Premium Member Mystery Mansion- Is This the Place For Me-

The Lord is compassionate, And so are you At heaven's loft There are people at the cross Angels don't cry Demons drools Sweets are Orchids midst the dew, Sunflowers reach, Up to the skies Life's so presage try not to die Rotten is the flesh That grows maggot farms The rod of God swings strong the air is warm, And so is your smile. A moonlight is beautiful, Just like you Morning Lucifer?
