Debbie Guzzi Poet Free verse

Tick Tock - Itty Bitty

crepitus announces itself annoyed
at my impudence  as I climb the stairs
it speaks the language of stop, I don't

flatulence trumpets my presence
luckily no one is hear to breathe deep
another dead language of age

the sounds of decomposition make me smile
for even they can fill a blank page

Andrea Dietrich April 10, 2014 at 10:35 PM Debs, this is really good. Very mature writing and I was expecting it to have been written by a man, for some reason. Anyway, congrats in my contest. a job very well done.

Carrie Richards April 8, 2014 at 12:49 PM I love it when one is able to laugh at one's self, and the common experience that is part of being human. You were not only able to fill a blank page, but you made others smile along with you !! :)

Jack Jordan April 6, 2014 at 2:34 PM My apologies for not being around for a while. I've made a major but temporary move to the NW corner of the USA. Adjusting is more difficult than I thought it would be. However, I'm recovering slowly, slowly ... Jack

Richard Lamoureux April 6, 2014 at 9:09 AM I guess the trumpet is a warning so that we hold our breath. It's the silence we must be wary of. This itty bitty was fun.
