Best Noises Poems

The noises of the day run rampant
A crow's caw incessant
Clouds float softly across the sky
Soon followed by cold front

Just soak in the beauty of sky
Feel the warmth of sunshine
Luxuriate in nature's gifts of peace
Brought by God's divine design  ...

63        The noises of Paris


There comes an age and wisdom,
When it is more interesting 
To listen to Shostakovich’s symphony number five,
Than to be interested in the noises of Paris,

There comes an age and wisdom,
When it is more rewarding
To...

One cold night, deep in thought, and curled in fright,
From folklore tales aimed to scare;
My rigid poise froze to a screeching noise
Outside, a voice not like I've heard before, to leave I would not dare
“It’s probably just an owl or creature of the night out...

heart beats faster to
random noises in the dark - 
I can't reach the light...

Unless you understand ,
What it's like to have noises inside your head 
Loud sometimes buzzing ,always keeping beat.
They say to have tinnitus is temporary you see
But when I have these noises, they envelop me.           ...

True noises from outside 
deep in the night of winter,
snow geese cadence call too
shake some sense of me.
Summon me to remember who I am, 
Bid me to evoke who I was.
 
I see fire in the valley through the rain
and I stumble through the mist
too...

Police and fire sirens blare
An early emergency somewhere

Neighbor’s water squeaking thro’ the pipes
Two cats clawing each other’s stripes

Traffic hums and honks, tires squeal 
In such a hurry…what’s the big deal?

Mower of lawns and whacker of weeds
Garbage man missed: in-reverse beeps

Nearby pickup started and revved up...

I must say that in my four score years I've done it all and seen it all,
But in the autumn of my life, noxious noises drive me up the wall!
I like the soothing sound of most music and birds trilling in the trees,
But, Lord, spare...

freeway traffic
many honking horns
Geese yaking

the busy bee
drilling a hole in
my window sill

sleeping with one
ear tuned to a babes voice
the new mother

a hushed quiet
the ball trails to the net
and finds it's mark

a bar raises as
another record falls

Ta wit ta woo said the owl to the wren 
Cluck cluck cluck replied the dear old hen
Woof woof woof the doggie did bark 
All these animals are leaving their mark 

The horse let out a very long neigh 
A cow replied moo is all...

Altos and sopranos
Blend - songs
Are heard in the distance . .. . . . .. . .
bass and tenors sings songs of joy
Noises...(pleasant noises to be precise)
Musical noises increase in volume
Some people talk and sing at the same time
Some are having the time of their...

I remember watching
the sound of the rain in Autumn,
and how it hit the ground 
making a such quiet landing
after falling so far.
My lamp kept
me company, whispering
light into my ear, telling
me she'll keep me unafraid
when it's dark at night.
As I rearrange my desk,
the phone rings, and...

Lafayette we are a shamble of noises
digging the street and towing cars
as I told you so for my two twenty
that I pay for and you delivered hundred ten
or may be a sewer to extinguish a fire
stop tropicana for a drink of coconut...

Some noises startle, jolt or jar
While others soothe or soften.
We perk up for the new but tune out
Those we hear quite often.

To locals, city sirens make
The tiniest impression
But visitors consider them
A barbarous transgression.

The hum of traffic rolling by
To urbanites equates
With cricket chirps or chickadees
In countryside...
