Small Talk
The truth of life
Is hidden in your small talks
Now look at the views
On the photo how peaceful it is
For today's running time
It becomes emotional
To stay among the loved ones and talk.

Small Talk
There's a heaviness
that comes over
leaking in from somewhere,
a certain mood
that paralyzes the throat.
It causes you to withdraw
and pull back
from where you can look out
and not feel what happens,
as if the nerves connecting
you to life are like those
to a tooth numbed
by novacaine.
When it wears off you find
yourself looking for a way

Small Talk Delayed
Small Talk Delayed
David J Walker
The days dawn falling in
Uncertain brokenness
Strangeness
came in waves
of multicolored
Cool sunrays
Nothing would be the same
He said
But nothing ever is
Instead
Of small talk delayed
The gardener went about
his business
Pruning the garden

Small Talk
I woke up to the sound of the keyboard clicking
I went ahead and arose and I'm not nitpicking
It wasn't long after that a friend of mine called
I'm glad we have things such as phones installed
We talked awhile concerning my poetry and reactions
I was worried hence to the writing of my factions
I'm sure that soon there's

SMALL TALK
“How are you, well and you?
Oh my! What do you say?”
(Oh look, the time, If you don’t mind,
I’ll now be on my way.)
“Oh everyone’s fine, Yours? Yes, so is mine,
give all my love, hugs too.
I’m saved still the same... oh how have you changed,”
(So now our words will be few.)
“All of your

a tender smile
brings rapport,
a seesaw thrill
releases
a tense tang,
a humorous

banishes dread,
reminences

Talk In Small Doses, Small Talk, Safe
Family get togethers are so much fun
provided you stick to the rules.
Greet everyone with a smile.
Get them talking about themselves.
Don't compare nor gloat.
Set the timer to 'it will be over soon'.
Keep topics neutral; arguments deflated.
Keep unmentionables hidden away.
Don't say the obvious, keep anger at bay.
Small talk, short talk - in small

Small Talk
I will prove it to you that I’m stronger than you realize
You are my one and only that I prize in my elegant eyes
Feeling like I’ve been living under a rock
Sorry, hon, but I’m sick of the small talk
What about you keep me warm under your blankets?
Shelter me from the storm – the storm

Small Talk
So much to say,
So little time;
Rush through each day,
No time to rhyme.
So much to do,
So many things;
To win and woo,
No time to sing.
So much to gain,
So put things off;
Bear hurts and pains,
Live with odd cough.
So much to live,
No time for grief;
So give and give,
For life is brief.

Small Talk
I nod my head and smile again
The burning creases brand my skin
A scar I will forever wear
There's nothing left to talk about
Pretend to hear; pretend to care
I fear my words have all run out.
