Gym Genie’s
There are a few people who motivate me
When I walk in the gym to workout I see
Balances of challenges a sea of humanity
Some with limbs that don’t move normally
The woman in wheel chair with a green smile
She’s moving and meeting her own goals now
The man using his walker has courage so loud
That inspires the

Skin Walker
Only an Alchemist can master the mist at the flick of a wrist, but here's the twist...
A White Witch can switch into a hag real fast and cast a spell that leads to hell-o Mr Skin Walker, your quite the smooth talker, but your energy is not quite the same....

river walker
River walker ran out of the pond today
They saw her coming, and some ran away
She is mystical, said the faeries beside the bay.
They wondered why she had chosen that day.
Her hair and clothes were silver bright
She had a glow that rivaled daylight’s light.
We stared in wonder, loving her cosmic might.
Everything about her felt absolutely right.

Periods of time,
found a footprint of mine,
across some way I once went,
placing my mark upon the skies.

The Walker
The Walker
Sometimes, there is a sense that the road doesn't
roll out further, there is no vista of a highland or a slow-running river of sweet water to lazily swim
while remembering Marilyn in Lazaro's jewelry shop, a dream so vivid, not dim, as the years roll by.
It is time to take the boots out

Unicorn Fern Walker
The forest was in awe of the newcomer
She was a faerie type we had never seen
Being nocturnal, owls missed it, being asleep
Oaks were stretching their necks to get a peek
What is she? A princess? A faerie? A beauty for sure.
The unicorn is being led by her, and unicorns are pure.
We watched her advance, and a

The Walker
bedeviled by saucy angels
he takes a twilight walk
behind his eyes
the old world is fading away
left and right
were but one
unclimbable horizon
he quickened his steps
as if fast walking would
outpace the beating of his
homeless heart
as for the tender-hearted angels
they were undressing
always undressing
always demanding
he stay rooted in his earth
if he could
even if he couldn't

Pet Walker Who Could Not Say No
My cousin Aliyah announced she is a pet walker to the cousins.
Why would she say that? She walks dogs by the dozens.
My friends have other pets, most of them one-of-a-kind.
My mother kept saying “Aliyah can do it. She will not mind.”
So now I am walking a horse, parrot, lizard, gecko, and snake.
Wearing on my back

Fire Walker Searches For Her Babies
loud cracks and creaks permeate the silence
inferno’s roar is heard in keen ears of wildlife
terror is felt throughout the forest
animals flee, but many do not make it out
the blinding smoke and their fear leaves them helpless
some curl up, waiting for death
the fire walker trots through the forest looking for her young
not realizing she lost them

A Walker Has Its Limitations
No fun using a "walker" believe me
Need assistance with every small task
Constantly asking for help
Puts a big burden on family members
If I could revert to my "pre-walker" days
A blessing it surely would be
Those jovial carefree days of my youth
Was a joy to be happiness bound
Then reality is in we're only here once
Life is just a

Street Walker
She was only a whore they said
Just a druggie on the game
Most of the papers couldn’t be
Bothered to correctly spell her name.
Just an illegal immigrant tart,
Part of one of those foreign mobs
Over here to claim our benefits
Ot take over all of our jobs.
Not one of your high class call girls
Who service the Commons

Rollo the Walker
In early medieval France
The age of the Viking prevailed
Arriving off coast of Aquitaine
from Scandinavia sailed
This historic age burnt brightly
In 799 ships arrived
breaching shores destined as Normandy
A norsemans dream contrived
A profile in history of Rollo
A man exiled sword for hire
Of such height and breadth standing well above
The hordes he would come to acquire
Known as Rollo

Night Walker
Their income was stretched really tight
Sid’s wife had to ‘Walk in the night’
She’d offer her favours
With not many waivers
He’d try not to get too uptight
Once home she gave hugs to their kid
Gave nineteen pounds fifty to Sid
His ire was intense
‘Who paid fifty pence?’
Her answer was, ‘All of them did!’
