Best Rattling Poems

SHE’s COMING AGAIN!

There’s a chill in the air
There’s a word on the street
Be afraid have a care
Put the children to sleep 
She was gone, bells were tolled
But the body’s not cold
For she’s coming again
Yes she’s coming again

It was safe to suppose
She was due to be...

Ride of the Scarecrow Clan

(To: Mittens) 

She was born in the corn on a cold misty morn,
the most beautiful cat on the farm.
(I must keep her from coming to harm!)
The most beautiful kitty inspired this ditty
with whiskers that whisper her charm,
wild white whiskers that whisper...

Everything had gone well and the night was still young,
she had made her intentions quite clear,
home alone we're not walking, the drink was now talking,
and the score was one-nil to the beer.
So we flagged down a cab, made a ten minute trip
hoping none of the...

St. Elmo's Fire

'Twas a fall eve on our flight to the coast
Dressed in my livery this journey I'd host.
A storm was predicted, we would fly 'round 
With instrument help from cockpit to ground.

No form of the storm yet could be seen
Our 747 flew like a...

I wandered lonely as a cloud
Stop right there for crying out loud
Plagiarism is not allowed
You'll be lynched by the P.S. crowd.

Okay, to be or not to be
Now come on you're being silly
They'll complain and they'll be suing
Ask you what it is you're doing.

Start again and...

The Baby Creep

Here in my Pampers. They took off my bib. Then they turned off the light, laid me here in my crib, yet I still see some light from the sun sunken low, but because I’m a toddler, to bed I must go? Well,...

STORM ELECTRIC

Over there
in the hills
There’s a flash 
Giving birth
To a sound 
Like a pulse 
In the veins
of the Earth

Echoing
From the crags
As a drum 
Beat ahead
The condemned 
On his walk
On the morn 
He would dread

Then the fire 
in the sky
As it comes 
ever close
With a crash...

probing defences
the bear at the border growls ~
the west stands ready

I can't help but wonder, what am I supposed to wonder about?
Society has put certain rules into play, that I can seem to wrap my mind around.
To think a certain way, to speak a certain way.
And to do this with no question about why we...

Wasted words

Wasted words
Empty ink
Left alone
Just to think
Once you were
Now you’re not
Seems that most
Have forgot
Time you spent
On their page
Verses read
Center stage
Curtains drawn
Lights are dim
Views are gone
Comments slim
All good things
They must end
Matters not 
What you’ve penned
Take your thoughts,
Stanzas too
Go away
That means you
We don’t care
What you write
Any day
Late...

Rattling Others Cages

Suppose what you said, I were to renounce
Would on my person you start to pounce
And again another game begin to play
Which was called, "Trying to Get Own Way."

Actually, accordingly to my latest prediction
You surely will have produced much friction
And projected to end up...

Writing some words I now will begin
As I try to entertain you
I'll give it my all and with a grin
With that there's much more to do

I'll entertain you with a rhyme and a beat
With images beyond compare
My poems they are so very sweet
To avoid cavities...

So you took your best shot,
but sadly it rimmed out
Rocket swish arc reached for the brightest star ... 
only to receive 
a missed blastoff launch tipoff  
Got time zone sent       head fake crash landing 
to the parquet floor...

Nervous Hands

	Did you know nervous hands can cause problems?
	Let me tell you, folks, I know they can!
	Hear my tale of a fidgety woman
	and her equally jittery man.

	At a conference, they became restless
	as the speaker just droned on and on.	
	Though they tried to give him their...

The carriages sway and how they shudder                  
Rattling behind the one-eyed monster                ...
