Best Chatter Poems

A Chinese lad was at table dawdling with his pork and rice.
This upset his mama-san who reprimanded him in a trice!
"Clean your plate!  Children in America are starving, son!"
And she continued to berate him - her tirade had only begun!

"Your papa-san has a great...

I’m so confused, what do they want?
Those judges seem to goad and taunt
One week they ask for something new
Then criticize when you try to!

To my dawg, Randy, I’ll throw a bone
For Paula, I’ll make it my own
For Kara, I’ll be RIDIC-U-LOUS
And, for Simon, I'm meticulous...

I sensed that my bladder might be angry at me
as recently it screams of urgency.
The other day when I heard loud chatter, I said
"dear bladder, what ever is the matter?"
He said, "lately you don't listen so I have to shout
in order for you to let...

Matrons decked in thick jewelry
who find pleasure in soft chuckles,
exploring the art of rumor
long their hours... fulfilled or empty?

Hooting And A Chit, Chit, Chatter

Monkeys jumping from limb to limb
In the trees above
Leaves rattle as the limbs are
Bounced and pounced
While back on their route
A two-day trip to the family tree

“Ouch!”  Muse said
With a splinter in his finger
All the monkeys stop to get a...

Why are we matter and not antimatter, or are we the latter and think that we're not?
Brought into contact the one with the other the two would annihilate right on the spot.

Opposites attract— some do—
but in this case it isn't true,
for in that mirror image...

The gray clouds are saturated
 A steady downpour falls
Moisture to mature spring flowers
Cleanse the air and all

Droplets steadily pour from leaves
Every portion washed cleaned
The pecan tassels wait to open
Their nectar insects will glean

Fog fills the creek's deep holllow
Penetrates every crack
Its moisture chills the old body
The...

chatter
continuous
banter which numbs the brain
chafing background noise that belies
patience and composure squandered away
meaningless, dreary remarks told
about nothing central
drifting weary
chatter

Quote By Poet  "Chatter ~ Many words all with no meaning."    

Chatter~many words all with no meaning 
I think your words need screening 
you sound so very crazy 
is your mouth being lazy 
or does your mouth need a good cleaning...

Raving, ranting, and babbling on,
He went on in endless chatter,
Screeching words that really didn't matter,
So early in the morning he screeched,
The sound so unpleasant to the ears,
Not caring to whom he would give offense.

An old black crow sitting on a wire
Outside overlooking my window,
Screeched on...

all morning
chatter of the well-meaning
just nod and stare
blackbirds settle on a wire
silently watch each other...

The attention span of a hummingbird
She plays the part of the buffoon
With stale trite corny jokes
And mindless ramblings of a simpleton
She plays the lunatic
Filling my head with rubbish
Not a spark or inkling
That silence is meant to be 
Appreciated and treasured
She spews out her platitudes
One after...
