Short Representations Poems

misshapen bell-curve 
disproportional distribution
of misconceptions made 
as a result of faulty representations 
within the view point from an underground

REPRESENTATION
 envisaged
a
basis
to
speculate
on
a potential
to
the
unrepentant
a
 tour de force
of
 magnaminity

exasperated
throughout
strikingly
infifferenct
where
the
bleak
stark
survive
in
the
realm
of fantasy

embodiment
of
progress
in
a
watchful

PORTRAITS
composite
  unanimous
elated
& dumbfounded
overwhelmed
completely
surreal
yet
exciting
 conveying
 a sense
 of
performative
persona

 introverted
 &
 private
 together
that  subvert
convention
distorted
representations

fragmented
translucent

We are all but metaphors 
Names varying along the course
Representations
Of either the deepest
Or the shallowest creation

We call each other in codes
Mediocre yet each a different mode
We exist in different realities
Of this life we now call " abyss "

Identities placed in the hand of symbols
Existence supported by phonological reasons
Names do have meaning but do we?
It's up to us...really...

Listen to poem:

Civil Rain
David J Walker


I could see it from a distance
The stroke of midnight looming

When this OD Green façade would
Dissolve in a civilian rain

How ya-gonna-act
	Who will you be
What will you take home 
Besides pain

I am my own blurry memory as
The chemical color 
representations 
Fade within the frames 

Drinking up 
	      The familiar cup
Of civil rain

And a prayer for each passing day...

reality 
      in space 
representations
 of     perspectives
             perceived

exposures 
             of  idiosyncratic 
questions
       without answers 

intent to disturb
                or calm

the art of making 
             not judging

 fragments flattened
       in two dimensions 
it is what it is 

          ..just ways & means 

depictions
            sans
               explanations...

Listen to poem:

Homophonic Phenomena
David J Walker

How freely dismissed 
The simplest forms 
That reason must take 

	Mistaken 
For roads
	Not taken

Or feigned to take  

The vagabonds path
To madness and night

The phenomenon
	Of a homophone 
left to its own
Devise

Hidden emendation
	Alterations 
Of eruditious representations 

Truth hidden within 
alternative alliterations 

which no cavalier palaver
 may define...

Crowd is easier to be ruled
Than a bunch of individuals
So the rulers and their fools
Do behave collisional 
Towards anyone who is 
Much too independent 
Rulers flatter and appease
Fools come out resplendent
With their threats and accusations
But the individuals stand
By their own representations 
Truth moves on like shifting sands
On the coastlines where we strolled
When the world was looking grand
And the future wasn’t that small.

Really romantic days and knights
Osentacious representations of a divine component
Miracles of friendship and valour
Accurate representatives of God
New and exciting quests of humanity
Comprehensive days at university
Excellence and learning leading to a future kingdom

Now evolving slowly and platonically
Ouvert signs of companionship
Versed with complexity and warmth
Editing passages with God's knowledge
Love intangible and confidential
