Short Scatterings Poems

Fresh blossoms of trees and shrubs
Tender blooms of vine creepers
Meek buds developing into flowers

Glistening leaves’ swaying whispers
Glorious displays of emerald runners
Liberal scatterings of dynamic colors

Soft touches of crisp gusts
Reflective bouquets of dreamy fragrance
Enthusiastic cheeps of song birds
Mother Nature’s embellishments of spring air...

The leaves fell
In an Autumn sky
In an Autumn dell
 

I could not see
For, such beauty
Overwhelmed me

 
Amongst life’s scatterings
A beautiful leaf lay
Crisp and pure
Set apart
Above, the sky azure
 

A leaf of Spring
A leaf of Summer
With all its’ richness
In shades of green
 

Now, in Autumn
its’ power lost
Not its’ life
The colour did bring
Beauty
Amongst the starkness
Of Winter darkness...

Listen to poem:

Tomorrows Bells
David J Walker

It’s nature’s way of warnings
The chirping’s and howling’s 
And tolling’s of bells 

Clouds gatherings 
And  scatterings of 
Of aberrant feelings
That dwells

In the late-night starlight
And the variant paths to 
The various Heavens and Hells

The lines and their moving’s
In contractions and swells 

The heart knows what
Comes and goes
In the dark tolls 
Of tomorrows bells

Listen to poem:

Sixty years flashed by in one big blur
A life with scatterings of luck and good times
No, I certainly can’t complain ~
Obstacles and challenges made me who I am today

Could have tried harder but harbor no remorse
I figure I’ll be ready to face my Maker
But till then, I’ll strive to live at least a few more years ~
Long enough to compensate for wasted time along the way

My morning begins here

Early morning wanderings
down a dew drenched pathway,
between windswept irises
and pine cone scatterings

Listening to dawn's whispers,
sweet words of love
wafting through sleeping honeysuckle,
speaking softly to my heart

I pause in the wondrous serenity
of a watercolor sunrise at the gate
at the end of your walk, smiling for I know
my perfect morning begins here...with you


Good morning Soupers...

Shapeless, blackness, surrounded by darkness,
Scatterings of sparkles immersed in its vastness.
Created and designed with input of knowledge,
Questions, answers, by mystery they’re hidden,
Time holds the secrets, till time loses reason.

Lost in expanse a small strip of blue,
Where life forms live, no reason no clue.
Finding their answers in knowing what they knew,
But future stays veiled through each passing season,
For Time holds the secrets, till time loses reason....
