Clack Poems

Time Clack

Once upon a distant dream you were fit and lean.
Could eat almost anything. 
Slam drinks until the vampire's sunrise 
but still make the whistle on time.

Now your bloated mirror is the alpha enemy.
You need more naps than a colicky baby.
Even the flats seem like a steep climb uphill.
Your countertop flanked like a mountain of pills.

I know better than to turn or ever look back
In a foreign land, I try to relax and watch the sights
But if we fly off the rails, God will turn off our lights

I fish around in my purse and find my brown sack.

Clickety Clack the Wheels On the Track

The smell of a steam train 
passing me by
The roar of the engine 
brings a tear to my eye
Such dear childhood memories
of when you and I
would watch from our garden 
smoke rising so high
The “clickety-clack” 
of the wheels on the track
as the engine emerged from a tunnel so black
Ma would despair as the smuts in

Clickety Clack

Trains pass routinely, clickety clack on the railroad track
The rhythm is soothing, and familiar, and offers sleep
If you think about it, the people, their stories
You could imagine a world more exciting than real
A man with a rucksack, is he hiking or running
Does his hat offer warmth or camouflage
Long is his journey ?  Or just

A Click and a Clack Then a Thump and a Whoosh

With a click and a clack our seat belts were on, 
Then the thump of the closing door,
And the key turned slow in the hole that it owned, 
Then the engine, it let out a roar.

Our tyres screeched free as we sped out of town, 
As we fled across hills painted green,
We took nothing, zip,

The Clack of Time

Married for eternity to the cool earth.
So difficult to think about my beautiful flower.
Surrounded by jagged rocks and cold rainwater.
Your sweet petal skin forged from angelic mint.
Devoured by an eternity of unforgiving darkness.

You were my rosy mist, a thorny blitz.
That briefly brushed and teased relentlessly.
A heart that always listed toward your hurt.
Your impulses drifted toward

Clickety Clack

Well clickety clack, here comes Jack
Full of beans, whatcha think about that
You can count on him
 To make you grin
A bunch of silly humour he surely don't lack

Click Clack

Tiny morning star shining against gray
Just above the eastern horizon's dawn
A dawn of dull lavender not party gay
And constant click-clack of sprinkler on the lawn

Cool, dry air penetrates every muscle
Chilling thoughts within my brain's deepest ruts
No animal stirs with a faint rustle
Quiet from the haute zone and lowest hut

War rages on in distant foreign lands
Young

Click clack

The mind of a braniac
Riddled with ritalin

Taste that don't waste that
Glass of wine
Escape time
Space out now pace back

Pen never sleeps
Psychoanalyze insomniacs

Click clack

The mind of a scaredy cat
Feared the present so
Regressed to the past

Try closing your eyes...
Reality ripped eye lids

Imagine serenity....
Lonely as an island
And now the sea is rising

Click clack

The mind of a maniac
Lithium addiction

Constant
