Best Tapping Poems

like the raven 
who taps taps upon 
your chamber door
do not fret my Virginia
for it's my shadow
moving across the floor
this is what I'm telling you my darlin
and nothing more

beneath lattice
I still call your name
come to me virginia
come hear the tap tap 
upon your chamber door
for...

The rain taps on the metal
like reminders, not to forget
Those sunny days that seem so rare
always return to dry the wet

Puddles of mirrors on the ground
Quiet reflections, left to see
I find the peace just by looking
at these pictures in front of me

The weather changes, liife...

There was a woodpecker whacking,
Continuous sound nerve-racking.
Distressed in the mind,
Making my teeth grind,
Tap-tapping will send me packing.

Standing outside, I clapped my hands,
Sending him off to no-man's land.
But no, he just sat,
And started to tap.
His tapping, how will I withstand?

In a Poe abode was a butler named Gore.
His assignment was to tend the door.
But he made one error,
His breath was a terror.
Causing callers to exclaim "Nevermore!"...

He's on the road in his semi again
  driving from two in the afternoon 'till ten
Raindrops rapping and tapping on his windshield
  firmly belted in his seat and sealed

Off, he and his musings inside
  as the wiper blades hum and they glide
A...

the honeycomb
inside the void
rattles ripe
melon primed
until annoyed
from buzzings
within bone
overjoyed
with that throb
of aching woe

tapping my feet to Uptown Girl
Captain Jack, Say Goodbye to Hollywood
Swinging my partner to Piano Man
Billy Joel, Billy Joel, Billy Joel!

New York State of Mind
Only the Good die young
Good night Saigon
It's still rock and roll to me!
Billy Joel, Billy Joel, Billy Joel!...

To the tapping bird
by KateM	@ 2015-03-12 – 12:48:21
A bird taps on this window every day,
Frail as flying leaves are in a gale.
But now he perches on the potted bay.
He feels the weather like the blind do braille.

This bird is faithful and I hold him dear.
He's...

Brown shoes tapping  to a tune inside
glances fleeting off a three way mirror  
waiting patiently for a smile to appear

Clock strokes many  bags filled   now heavy
worn eyes gaze windows  day turns to night
carrying more than what's black and white

Colored...

Wickedry the poetry that refuses to let me sleep in a hammock on the river of spiritual revival
Wickedry I tell you ... What dares keep me awake
Aggressive in the most gentle way...
My soul has millions of truths to recite
Obviously at an odd yet even hour...

I was slowly drifting nowhere; this side of bump and grind
While all the time I noticed, myself I couldn’t find
And as I floated like some driftwood; on this rivers tributary;
I desperately was reaching out, for perhaps one last Hail Mary;

Sit here and think
It will surely drive you insane, 
But what is it,
Contemplations tap at your window pane
Look at it, think about it
It will never stop, 
the rain falling lightly from a cloud
The noise, annoying as it is
Is not nearly as loud
As the contemplations that...

She walks, her high heels tapping
Has all the guys on the sidewalk rapping,
an audience dancing, clapping!
Turns her head and sees wots happening,
gets in the groove, thigh slapping!
I was only out to do some shapping!
Bought some heels and all the trappings,
me Mrs took one look and...
