Premium MemberA Slight Kerfluffle

     testimony that disrupts
       proceedings it interrupts
     in a courtroom liable to erupt… 

       from a recess abrupt
       order is anon plucked

Premium MemberLubricious Kind Of Potion -- slight typo corrected


The curved fondle of an embrace
within the moistened kindle
of an evening's oiled lamp...
 the splendor of your  lubricious mouth
gathering all that's aflame and gentle

and I will find the slippery blue of eyes
dressed in your lavish kiss---
never knowing  this potion of alchemy:

Dare I blink bewitched by 
a caress of such pleasure
drip by drip ,

Premium MemberBlackbird -- slight typo corrected


What is that, 'midst gray silhouette
A night-winged creature slips, beset?
Fluttering through pampas and ground
Mellow the dulcet trails of sound

O blackbird, my breaths awaken
By soft chimes...this angst forsaken
Glimmering 'neath still of moonlight ,
I find peace in warlber's hymned flight !

He Tied My Hands

I shook my head as I walked away 
Rebuking my demons, keeping them at bay 
My mind wandered back to a time before 
When such a slight would have been cause for war

Slight


I was sad today
Never gave it away
Every smile more fake than the last
Every interaction so fast
I want to be alone
in my depression zone
Face aches from muscle strain
My search for happy in vain
Stop my tears with coughs and giggles
Stuck in sad so far from the middle
Born to be sad
I won’t get mad
Nothing good
in life I understood
No

Premium MemberSlight Purple Blossom

Violets rising a garden-friendly placid flower,
Purple iris kaleidoscope eyes stain the grass,
They bud in fall and spring, but not in summer,
Stir in the yarn breaks amid fresh Narcissus. 

Purple iris kaleidoscope eyes stain the grass,
Choir of home fowl peep to the sparkly leaf,
Stir in the yarn breaks amid fresh Narcissus,
Cerise dahlia swings in the east

Premium MemberIn My Trance I Had a Slight Chance a Dance With Ants-

I have no shoes shall we dance;
 I don't gamble shall we play a game of chance;
 I have a pet aardvark should I feed him ants;
I have vertigo am I  in a  trance;

Premium MemberThe Slight Light of the Moon

The Slight Light of the Moon
David J Walker

Everyone is in 
Everyone is done
Everyone 
under the sun 
is in the same boat

It’s a big boat
It’s a tugboat
It’s a lifeboat 
That won’t float  
On Solipsism’s alone 

It’s an 
Oceanliner the color of 
October with a canoe 
And an outboard motorboat 
Lost on an ocean stretching
As far

A Slight Delay

The brakes squeak
and the car hisses…..
a puncture

The spare tyre replaced
the engine revs again
the journey continues.

The Light of Slight Sensibilities
David J Walker

I see the slight variation of 
Light illuminating translucent 
Patterns pressed from the etching 

Of each and every today
Time fades away
It is the Mise-en-scène 
of predictabilities 

It is the delicate film flying 
across the jagged
Lens lighted by frail fallibilities 

It is the Alpha and Omega looped in
Small chains of

Premium MemberAn Unnamed Journey Slight Change

I sense it is impossible to rhyme 
in this journey and that even
with a poem searching for words
something is lost
Is it found in the breath
slowly with the slightest force
should we name it the Force 
or is it a lightness that joins
with the smallest molecules
atoms is that what I am
and you and the us
anything else if

Premium MemberSlight Spirit Glimpse

Adversity was thus proven to be unusually anomalous. 

I went out of my way to watch the stunning sunrise. 

spirit had not worn, or body had gone to a sarcophagus

Adversity was thus proven to be unusually anomalous.
 
I've lost my ability to analyze insights, but I can still visualize. 

My spirit recognizes that it will yearn for
