A pickled earth soured
As the soil is deflowered
Tons of weeds uproot...

Though I knew and loved her first
He's not a coward....

On thirsty petals of red;
Scarlet roses drink.

soured moments left behind
peeling back the lemons rind
exhausted eyes search to find
an unaffected peace of mind...

Honors to the missing bestowed
Soured milk carton full of toad
Milk from the carton did unload
Through white puddles a black cat strode...

Horrible
Soured scent
Spills forth from

Sopping wet
Old carpet
Now that rain 

Has gone, left
Its too late
Too avoid  ...

(Chance Operations)

Twenty long contemptuous years;
A myriad of monarchies 
Bargained wickedly …
Bloody warriors ~
In crimson swells;
Soured proprietary wealth…...

In Spring, a floral clock
Time shows us.
Love's own love-flushed dial!
Fairest smile!

In Autumn, a pale-blown
Leaf's o'replus.
Age's own soured outlook!
Crinkled. Crook....

The water in my pail
soured overnight
So I pluck every hair
off the skin of my body

And watch the spores of mold
grow around the rim
My crown is broken
And my chair is for liars...

i'm a belly
barrel full
of wine

but i've
been laying

all this
time so

from
me

as

you

even though
i'm well aged
now vintage

i

George judged 'the classics' pretty slim pickins
Reading them, his mood soured and sickened
   George much preferred trash
   Which cost little cash
Then he tried Shakespeare ~ said, 'What the Dickens!'...

Mockery and ridicule shut him down completely.
Vowed to never marry again; did this most discreetly
Dated a lovely widow named Mama T. McMeetly.
Who married someone else, but thought of him quite sweetly....

Enticingly juicy
Melting on the burning 
Lips of passion
Stretching tongues to lick
But soured drops long left over
Icings of deadly venoms
Ooh greedy zealots
Gulping to stupor
Concoctions for all such gluttons...

The card of love
A fool's card
The loving efforts
The shattered dreams

The sleepless night 
The romantic days
The happy smiles
The soured tears

The sacrifice
The cautious cares
Yet the last card
Is but a broken heart...

When you lose your joy,
Drive into flowers.
Make matters into bratwurst.
Sancitfy the tiny.
Devour the anguish of others
On a single joke,
A swift pivot,
Like magic for all parties.
Your soured season,
A mere passing cloud....

As one, am none
As two, embraced in hue
As salt fell from the vine
	Soured was my embrace with wine
	Kissed only in the mist
	For I am not, nor love could resist
		Lungs touching blooms in moldy waters
		My last breath
		Did she exist?...

What have you done to me?
A shadow of darkness 
as affections twist.
Once we drank of heaven,
wide-eyed and innocent,
but your thirst soured.
A vengeful morass of agony -
tears follow blood, 
follow pain,
love taken away,
in a torrent of hatred.

I HATE YOU....

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!...

Listen to poem:

An Acquired Taste for Wine
David J Walker

A sip only
 And
	Only a sip
That might be savored 
Avoiding the bitter
	The soured 

Searching for the
Unique in flavor

A bouquet 

That which does not
flower
Before its time

Rather than
Falling into the dark
Drunkenness 

Of the wrong wine...

In crisis, true men smile,
Oh, sweet smile your warmness is prized, whispers the soul.
Strengthen style

give life a chance
smile and the sun for your console  
lean dance

laughed, loured
called for his bowl,
soured 

In crisis, true men smile,
smile and the sun for your console
soured ...

Sweet Rose,
Your perfume is bitter,
Tainted by time & memories,
Soured with mistakes the once sweet perfume haunts me,
Closed in a little dark box,
A coffin for a mistake,
A shrine to a memory,
A desire to never repeat my mistake,
I remember,
I enshrine the one mistake I wish I could fix,
That I might never repeat it....

if a car is
a lemon
then it
has

soured
but a
lemon
when

given a nail
of nickle
and a coin
of steel

with a wire
between
the two
hooked

to a light
bulb of
the size
of outside

christmas
lights it
will
light up

so if life
gives you
melons
then

perhaps
you are
in the
dark

It rob's my soul and self until a shell remains.
The silence screams at me.
Closing my eyes only makes it grow.
Everywhere I turn, I'm greeted by it's presence.
Staring back at me through the eyes of others.
Dancing, clawing up my spine, to whisper in my ear.
I beg to retch it's poison and pain from my twisted and soured bowels....
