Short Solos Poems

cool breeze gently hugs
moist mud mildly maneuvers ~
stilled seeds sing solos

Comets cut bedazzling streaks in time
with crescendos and solos divine.
Each meager planet probes with a wince
praying they don't fall within the pinch....

Of how many solos
                 a duet is done...
                with how much love
                 romance is made...
                 How much absence
                 and void is necessary
                 to obtain company...!?...

I wanted to be 
an electric guitar,
to vibrantly run my screams in
melodically riffs and solos...
Turning my pains into art...
But I'm just that... lone cello
how bitter and silent
dies of thirst in a corner
without performing any blues.... !...

Beautiful baby Bella
Grew into a  greatly gifted girl.
She sang songs solely for soldiers,
Homesick for hugs from their honeys.
But Bella fell fast for a friendly fella,
So now she sings solos solely for him.

Do I write in the third person 
or only in the first?

Do my ideas reign supreme 
or do other ideas work as well?

Do I know I’m always right 
or can someone else be right too?

Do I play solos only on my tuba  
or do I play in the band as well?

Listen to poem:

When the Cardinal Sings
David J Walker 

The first alert of the
Coming dawn 
Drawn in silhouette
Across the azure horizon 

The Cardinals song 
Sung in imbricate solos 

Whose name does she 
Sing 
Whose spirit is carried
Across the morning sky
On her wing

I read the morning paper
To see if it is me...

Chama Viva

Eis a jornada 
da empreendedora,
no sábado e sempre
em seu peito,
carrega a 
chama viva,
transforma,
o que é pouco 
em muito, 
com a sabedoria 
de um 
mago antigo.

Cada passo, 
uma vitória 
em solos férteis 
de sonhos 
e esperança,
com mãos firmes 
a navegante 
segue com força
para fazer 
com pouco
mais e mais....

The Father of Rock and Roll was not Elvis.
It was Chuck Barry, wild man from Chicago
He was the rhythm and blues king
His guitar solos and showmanship are legend.

Today we still hear some of his best songs on the radio.
Johnny Be Good, Nadine, Maybelline, Ding-a-Ling
Sweet Little Sixteen, Memphis Tennessee
He was amazingly talented, and marvelously fun to watch!...

POT TOP PALINDROMES 

STOP POTS and SNAP PANS
DRAWN ONWARD craving DOOM MOOD junk food
NO MELON NO LEMON creating LEVEL SOLOS
Imagining only DESSERTS… STRESSED
REWARDER temptation avoided….please REDRAWER
WE FEW are disgusted by WET STEW
Never suggest or mention TUNA ROLL OR A NUT
SOME EMOS
DAMMIT IM MAD

Forwards or backwards-- it's all the same

White noise echoes equally from wall to painted mural,
dancing like a whimsy wisp of width;
where waters drip and notes all slip,
sound patrols the minute holes that cause acoustic depression;
pizzicato strikes like bikes on blacktop every day,
leaving skids for little kids, loud scats scoop brats away,
with solos soaring boringly and duets dazzling dew,
it’s hard to not hear voices, different choices scream at you....

The widows
Poignant thoughts
Dreams and hopes
War torn
Distant past 
Life's cut in 
half
Cubby hole
Spiders web
Sitting all alone
Crazy maze
In a daze
Life stood still
 that 
Very day
Days of bluesy 
Jazz tunes
Miles made me
Smile some
Blowing solos 
During
Halfmoon at 
Halfmast in
Contrast
Still lifes 
Ecthed in
Black and
White
Details of
Long ago
Brought back
To life again 
Once 
More.....

Haunting melodies caress the soul,
Riding eddies of spirit to enchant and capture.

Sharp notes to beckon, soft notes to cajole,
Hymns to hypnotise, harmonies to melt the melody.

Hidden rhythm within the beat, 
Captures bodies and moves the feet.

Strident solos proclaim independence,
Supporting acts one for all.

Music in and music out,
The song is all around, embodied sound.

Shake, rattle, ring and roll,
Favorite songs the voice of soul....

Rock and roll, 
I love it!
Banging drums,
Loud singing,
And hums.
Gorgeous guitar solos,
Crowds jumping,
And dancing.
Singing about,
The good times,
Rocking and rolling,
Swaying long hair.
Head rocking,
Show stopping tracks.
Rock and roll,
Was claimed a fad.
But it’ll forever last.
So play that guitar,
Sing that song loud,
A great American pastime,
And I’m proud, 
To say today,
And all days.
Rock and roll,
I love it!

We’ve painted your smile disarming
Your glassy marbles alarming
Ignored your feeble warning, your face blue
We made our very own papier-mache Prince Charming

In what false light you’ve been hung
Your dreams must in harmony be sung
No solos for your tenor voice, honey 
We force your hand on the top rung

From wuthering heights we trumpet
On your trust we rudely strumpet
Don’t resist sweet crumpet, we know best for you
Into infamy now you gladly plummet...

Maple and Cherry Oak
deciduous delight;
a new wardrobe.

Another marriage; 
violent waterways 
racing traffic.

Cremation of
fallen family
lingers onward.

Reincarnated
sweet scent--
Lavender & Lilacs.

Desiring exactly
what we despise
as dreams drown.

Twenty branches above 
percussion solos begin
between wings while

lead singers gather on
electrical tightropes
of music notation.

Trade-winds whisper
as the ocean above
remains motionless.

Until next
December my
dear winter....

Psychedelic notes,
Strummed with creative wonder:
From a lonely soul.
·
Music for the world,
Crying guitar solos hum:
Raining energy.
·
While his audience,
Awaited the finale:
Burning his guitar.
