Best Yammering Poems


Premium Member Shackling His Tongue

I am frustrated and annoyed by his ticking,
or perhaps it should be labeled the 'tocking'
By the never-ending tongue wagging clicking
in the language better known as 'clocking'

Must Grandfather Time command my life?
He so rudely continues without a thought
that his hammer yammering rhythm of strife
mocks the beating pulse of my human heart

What a wonderful fantasy my life would be
if for one day I'd not hear his unrelenting beat
I'd be stress free if time would stand still for me
for without his gonging life would be so sweet

In solace of night, I seek sleep and close my eyes
in need of escape and retreat from earthly chore
but I cannot find a moment of tranquil paradise
for his insistent knelling peals out once more

Each quarter hour his mallet chimes out to me
but his clappers sing off key in monotonous song
Not a lyrical lullaby, but a torturous rhapsody
whose tireless verses antagonize me far too long

I'm tenacious to put an end to his wagging tongue
and shackle the swinging motion of his pendulum
Each hour of the day and night would go by unsung
Being silenced is the price paid by the meddlesome

Premium Member Preparing For the Holidays

Christmas eaves’ drop - red and green leaves of pre-December.
The snow-white clouds, the beard of Santa Claus’ pre-remember.
The elves are surely hammering
whilst Mrs. Claus is yammering.
The yawning of maples and oaks ‘fore their pre-sugar-plum dream.
Boughs with wrappings held high in the pre-burr of holiday theme.
The silver bells are jingling
whilst Mrs. Claus is mingling.
The squirrels gathering chestnuts - heading for the pre-open fire.
This is the time of cheer when old white men are on pre-hire.
Elves in the North Pole, serious
whilst Mrs. Claus is merrily delirious.
Milk, cookies, hot chocolate - cupped, shaped, pre-bakes.
The crisp, grim, lake of late Autumn leaves, Daddy rakes.
From bed, whoops an early “ho-ho-ho!”
whilst Mrs. Claus helps Santa glow.

Cry Baby

Toddlers yammering
Grinding wild berries
Misty hopes dwindle
As the rays gray over
Another gaze through the dark
As stars dance round the moon

Boiling degrees melting the night
I wake up to life’s norm
Another day, counted blessing
Dourer than yesterday
Optimistic the Red Cross drives by
Or more graves we shall dig

Whom do I query?
Whom do I turn my vex to?
Who has the reservations?
I believe the milk is not spilled yet
Cheers will still wheel around
Crying tears of deliverance

Strike the souvenirs
Haste to the cries
Behold you save a life
Patriotic to your belief
Don’t let hunger drown us
Tomorrow eager my ministry

Dust will shoe your boot
As you hustle and bustle
Loads will enervate your back
But the medallion is worth
From heaven open doors
Your shack shall brim over.

An Alliterative Abecedarian Composition

Abecedarian poems are also known as alphabetical sequential writings.
Being deviously different and difficult to
Compile, compose and complete.  Consequentially combining
Determination and deviant, driven poets devote determined time, and  
Exercise extreme etymological enthusiasm 
For forging a fitting composition that
Guarantees generous grades, and gracious responses.
Hardly a task for hapless or haphazard hit-and-miss
Inexperienced, indolent authors with illusory intent to
Justify or judge poetry.  Justification requires a jury of
Knowledgeable critics, possessed of a knack for keeping
Lyricism and logical, laudable linguistic language in line!
Many Poets, maintain a masterful grasp of their manuscripts.
Narrative is not so  noticeable in novices, nondescript, nor
Obscure, opinionated obdurate writers, and
Poor penmanship, periodically proves this point!
Questionable quills quite often quake at
Recording random rational and rhetorical rhymes.
Skill sidesteps them: sends some to settle for success on some other site.
Taking time to tackle and test their knowledge may
Unknowingly, undertake an unrewarding undertaking for
Views vary - very violently and vociferously at times,
When writers, with witticism, warmth and wisdom, waffle to
X rated Xanthippes or
Yield to the yells and yammering of yahoos, yokels and
Zealous zealots!  Zesty writing of an alliterative ABeCedarian is zany!

Poetry...

Personal poignant passages pure
 Odes, oddities, and opinions to opine
   Essence of everyday evolution evokes
    Truth and tales trumpeted to transcend 
      Repetition, rhyme; recollections revealed
        Yammering and yearning till yarns are yielded

Premium Member The Strangling Season

In the strangling season
There are too many flowers to count.
My loves fall like petals against my ears.
All this undeserved yammering.
Showers of grace.
And here I kick empty buckets
Remembering what never was.
Age wears you like a coat.
It’s always heavier than you think.
So start moving. Be unbridled.
There is nothing around your neck.

Quiet Hours

It’s so quiet now,
no more noise coming from upstairs
All of the background sounds
have faded into the mist
Radio silent dawn ... each morning — 
once rambling chatter now only dead air
Audio spikes of serene quietude,
	no more voices that are rude yammering late
		Turn the open sign,
		shut the entrance gate
		and pull down the shade
Switch on the black mood UV light and drift away
Don’t know how long it’s been since the accident,
can’t remember, but that is good 
Memory flashes like a receding pulsar star,
	faint blips on a radar screen
It’s so very quiet now,
such peaceful quiet time
		Head now filled with relaxing cosmic void,
	listening to the music of the spheres — 
minus-zero vibration decibels 
The brain waves are so calm everyday,
life is like a tranquil, pastoral haze
Faces rotate around and move about
It’s as if they’re saying: let them out,  
or let who out?
Either way, their pantomime voices trail off ...
		float into space ...
It’s the oddest thing, never knowing what day is today
It’s gotten really quiet now,
even for ears that stay plugged 
with mild catatonic gauze
It’s always quiet hours for me,
so peaceful and serene
I only hear any noise,
	when I go to sleep 
		and dream restless dreams ... 
			distant dreams that silver project 
silhouette images of a lost life before

Random Birthday

Baby born off of the bay
Inspiration is into the imagination
Right there ranting like red rovers
Tyrants topple from their towers
He hustles to have his hands hammering homes
Day when daisies drown in detergent; disgusting
And anyone able to achieve amazing accomplishments,
Yields the yellow yaks yammering about the yams.

Happy Birthday!

Premium Member The Woodpecker

Rhythmic tapping outside my window
Bring E. A. Poe’s reflections to my mind,
Hammering an aggravating intrusion
The cause of which I must quickly find.
A red-headed woodpecker hammering
Oblivious to his naturally irksome task,
Worse than my turkey hens yammering
Hardly as deadly as the red death mask.
Poe found his intrusive raven engaging
Subject of one of his memorable poems,
The woodpecker brings no inspiration
A muse of no pleasant verses or hymns,
The reason for my current consternation
It brings out my fiercest exasperation.

Premium Member Abecedarian Alliteration

An abecedarian Australian animal activist
Bagged bodacious big bucks
Caustically criticizing crocodiles,
Driving darling dragons
Essentially extinct. Eschewing
Fact, fabricating fanciful fiction,
Grifting gloriously,
He haughtily held hostage
Important, instructive information,
Juxtaposed jaundiced, junk
Kangaroo kills,
Leveling large lizard libel,
Manufacturing marsupial misinformation malevolently.
On other ominous occasions,
Preferring pernicious propaganda,
Quickly, querulously, quashed
Real, rational reports, rather,
Substituted several substantially
Tarnished technical travesties,
Undermining unified understanding.
Very vociferously, viciously
Wrote works without warrant,
Xenophobic xenotypic
yarns, yammering yellow-bellied yawps,
Zombie-like, zealously.

Premium Member Competing Voices

When two or more Yang Dominants
are in the same room,
noticing each other,
it may be time to leave that room.

We have issues curtailing our co-arising competition
to reveal who can win
our CoElational Wealth Game.

All Yang-voices inside
and outside
clamoring EgoSapiens 
hungry for EcoRights
optimizing Elational AnthroLight,
a smile of Namaste recognition,
we know each other from inside 
compassion now,
yet only unusually from outside
pleasure rooted here.

Then we go back to our CoInhaled Win/Lose 
dark and disempowering
political
and economic game of life,
but this despite I-Thou moments,
unsustained iconic monuments
within cooperative co-arising
sacred grace remembering.

Even so,
more and more of us are slowing our competition
for Ego's well-intended
but perhaps not always full-health and therapy
hunger for love is joy,
mind passion is  body pleasure
synergy,
integrity;

slow enough toward MidWay Tipping Point Non(0)
1 Whole Root Systemic embrace
Other's loving eco-lights and brights
and hugs and smiles,
knowing them for our own,
bipartisan together.

Winning together 
Yang/Yin bicamerally balancing
Internal ego recentering
away from a bit too competitively dominant 
over
External EcoPolitical Wokeness,
Yin's full CoRelational ElationFlow
DoubleBinding Balance
RightBrain conserving feelings

Left as Yang verbal dominance,
listening in Yang's languaged yammering AnthroUniverse
to breathe out sacred Yintegrity's
in-out-ductive Prime CoElational Time

When YangEgo and YinEco CoElationals share a room, 
ecopolitical outcomes 
are passionately pleasant heaven.

Soul Sucker

souls sucker to make you beep,
dragged away from counting sheep,
shut up brain no not a peep,
the shadow talkers are sleeping,
voices coming greeting,
an imbecile retreating,
bugged brain is in denial,
ole solitude do smile,
the walls hold shades a weeping,
bugging out this bandy chile,
retreating from the meeting,
awhile...

 why not use schitzo voices for profit???

 that psychic i no has many voices yammering, was heavily into shooting up, and selects who she listens to...

Premium Member Just a Bunch of Nonsense


Daze and days of penmanship
Potent perhaps a touch of sun
Shipshape warming of outlet ink
Ishmael invites a tale; I say: “stowaway”
Stop all blubbering; just get yammering
Yo ho soupmates, we must steer the ship
Stir golden pot of disbelief and brass tacks
Torrential corkscrew pasta, perhaps?
Pish posh of the alphabet riding the waves
Wending its way, each letter to the crew
Conspirators of sonnets, limericks and dust
Dangerous alliteration, elevation and descent
Decidedly dizain, free verse or blank; thats it?!
