A Slight Kerfluffle
testimony that disrupts
proceedings it interrupts
in a courtroom liable to erupt…
from a recess abrupt
order is anon plucked

Lubricious 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 ,

Blackbird -- 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

Slight 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

In 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;

The 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
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

An 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

Slight 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

Snow's Slight
After a downpour
a cheerful rainbow
After a snowfall
nary a snow-bow
Snow's slight ~
Nature's oversight
