Deserter of faith
If not today, tomorrow
Veers off glory road

New fling
Lust clings

He shaves
She raves

He aches
She fakes

He veers
She sneers

He winks
She shrinks...

wisp light ripples through
spring honey on alder field
down forest earth trail
cool rhythmic river flows, veers
stretch tight amid space and time

Through all of the years 
Through all of the tears. 
Defeating all fears 
Til life from me veers
Belonging to only you my dear. 

So drink with me. Cheers....

I must fly a kite
and lift it ever so high
And load all my cares on it.

The wind suddenly
Veers direction and down comes
My kite bringing back my cares.

Let's see, where is my mind headed today
It easily veers off course and I totally lose my way
Sometimes totally unaware
At times blankly stare
Off to la-la land and can't follow the play...

The River's Edge


Sun rose near the river's edge, 
Dazzling the blue mirrored hedge. 
Lost in its cool, calm, hush flow 
As it veers off from the ledge.

The cerulean river
veers its imperfect bights
through unbending 
rigidity of fixed earth.
My life's goal
as a square flower
of florid constancy
is still to thrive
in porcelain conformity
of a round garden....

I hear the drone that quizzes me then see the swirling mass.
A cloud veers in all directions; green changes in a flash.
Ten thousand wings are beating. The sky a wonderful delight.
I follow the budgerigars until the flock is out of sight....

The piglet is a baby pig
As far as it appears
The wiglet is a tiny wig
That fits on tiny ears
The ziglet is a little zig
But only when it veers.

 Goodbye Smirking Little White Ball

Watch me swing
The ball hops
The ball veers

I am lost
My knees lock
My clubs shake

I am sore
To a tee
I hate golf

The First Plane Flight

Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
December 17, 1903

Oh see it fly!
Above this field, the pilot steers.
Oh see it fly
amid the clouds across the sky!
The people watch it as it veers
through winter air along with cheers!
Oh, see it fly!...

is... gushing pink pillow
of floss, froth and nonsense
reaching new heights
to obtain its non-worth

Sentimentality -
the word leers in your ear-hole,
stupid and vain,
to rush sense away

Sentimentality -
the word veers towards vomit.

S e n t i m e n t a l i t y -
hard on the brain

Among deafening wind 
Is too intense, felt to realize
You are the many attempts 
But, I left physically
But, I linger emotionally.
Despite the respite
I am zooming care
Splendidly unassuming and passionate
Interpret it as heavenly made
It veers toward you for sure
Never  warning you
It comes in every second!...

Calm cheer
Voice veers


Change chance
Dream dance


Health heard
Wise words


Fond fit
Wise wit


Peace plays
Rich rays


Wild wind
Stretch scene


Grace grooms
Bright blooms


Work well
Sound spell


Feel fine
Love lines


Soul sums
Joy jumps

Listen to poem:

An Ugliness of Winter Winds
David J Walker

Cold as the old north wind 
may blow
Temperatures 
well below 
The freezing points of heaven 
or hell
the tide swells without 
contrition
the moon rises without 
permission
snow sneers 
	 	as winter veers 
well beyond a
		path of tears 
March winds bring an ugliness
		To winter...

Mime moments mild
Work whole words wild
Cheer charming child


Prize piquant play
Smooth succinct say
Dream deeper day


Wise wonder wakes
Touch thrilling take
Meek movement makes


Big blossoms bloom
Rest ruptures room
Grace gearing groom


Vivid voice veers
Lift lustre here
Sanguine sage steers

Amorphous flock
Turns, rises, wheels
And tints blue sky—
Brown starlings, drab,
Uncountable,
At once alight
To dormant lawns,
Bright, sunny street,
And water trapped
In gutter pool;
Flick, splash, shake, then
To slamming door
As one, they start;
Composed discord
Ascends, veers, dips,
Oblivious
That this warm day
Is brief reprieve
From winter’s bite....

Give me your sweet lips Guenevere and I’ll
not care what fate brings me hence evermore.
To be with you, dear Guenevere, awhile
is high bliss my heart beats out ever o’er.
Come, Guenevere, let both our spirits soar
and you’ll lack nothing spending days with me.
Give me your sweet lips Guenevere once more
and I’ll not care what fate brings me to see,
if whether my small life’s ship veers luff way or lee....

Listen to poem:

Why does the trolley
dolly or cart
I choose to use
in every supermart
always have a wonky wobbly wheel
and feel oh so wearing
as if it's about to lose
its marbles or ball bearings?
It clunks like junk with a 'thunking' sound
and almost dumps
my groceries on the ground
won't go straight
invariably tilts veers
careens or curves
and without a doubt
indubitably gets on my nerves

karmic attraction veers 
toward the inevitable and 
the unavoidable rolls out 
as it was always meant to be

like magnets exerting their pull
collide becoming inseparable
call it fate or call it destiny
too late to change the outcome

no deciding factor 
comes into play
it just is...
inevitable and predestined

the dice cast
the cards dealt
so we wait to see
how the script plays out

A sound of silence veers its head
Staring blankly into obscure delight
A recognizable face appears in the light
Inward laughter—fed

Never heard it this loud before
Something shifts on volume low
The majority has become the foe
Even words—they ignore

No one needs to understand
For all is heard within
All they need is that grin
All else—reprimand...

Thinking is for those of us
Who have some extra time,
Especially when all those thoughts
Are written out in rhyme.

For when days are super busy
And our brains are hard at work,
It’s impossible to wallow where
Ideas or stressors lurk.

Yet when hours stretch out empty,
It’s too easy to obsess,
So what should lead to relaxing
Often veers right into stress.

Thinking’s highly overrated
For, as many people find,
Thoughts may, like invasive species,
Overpopulate your mind.
