The Avenue of Pines

(Re-visited)

 

Kenneth Vincent Walker

 

 

Alone we walk along

The Avenue of Pines,

An allure so familiar,

 

Subliminally sublime.

For the hour upon us

Is but a brief moment

 

In time, and the sweet

Succulent fragrance 

Captured in the flesh,

 

Not merely in rhyme.

The essence of power

In a passionate crime,

 

As we stalk our next

Selected victim along

The Avenue of Pines.


Kenneth Vincent Walker is a "New Formalist" poet, spoken word artist, performer and author of Borderline Absurd (An Exercise in Rhyme and Reason), published by Poem Sugar Press/ Community Arts Ink 2015.
