Argle-Bargle :: Hourglass Verse

It's meaningless
nonsense talk;
A lot
of
writing,
silly talk
about nothing
~X~X~X~

Never Let True Love Die

L-et not true love die, 
I-n spite of the shake; 
Z-one of wrangle and bicker 
A-ims for the chain to break. 

F-ight the falling-out, 
A-s well as the argle-bargle; 
L-et the contretemps fade, 
L-et not the union wiggle. 
O-n the twenty-sixth of May, 
R-ed beacon rises up high; 
I-ntensify the harmony, 
N-ever let true love die.

Rain

Held by a dungeon of torrential rain
It resounded like a quarrel outside
It was an argle-bargle of earth, rain and wind
It blew patterns of a boustrophedon
Being cantankerous from the brouhaha 
I took my bumbershoot to the door
The umbrella became discombobulated 
The nonsensical wind blew it inside out
A melee of rain furbellfwed my face
A gardylool hadn’t been announced 
Thus a television gonzo weather reporter
A nincompoop on the matters of meteorology 
And I, a smell fungus, thought, no sun would shine
But, somewhere near, I heard a turdiform, "A Lark?"
To my amazement a vomiter shown from above
The Earth smelled dank mud, spores and green grass
It was petrichor to a doubting Thomas 
Was I to trust the rays and Lark?
But, the smell of must from the downpour ~
Meh, on the other hand, gloom and doom
Have always been, my very best friend
