Outlaw Band of Clatter
The youth have teeth like tigers or tight ropes
Abundant mess of forest hair, d u r e s s
They charge the strings with their electric hopes
And bloody drum with battered sticks possess
(Refrain:
Tattooed wrinkles in flash pan of gray matter
In classic dress, this outlaw band of clatter)

The youth have teeth

The Clatter of Dancing Toes
Let us waltz in the moonlight
where the scatter bugs bleep
there we shall twinkle
and occasionally leap.
For are we not nice.
cheesy as Gruyère,
vim full of chuckles
and devil-may-care,
and if you being dinky
do never not mind
we are thin in the front
and fat behind.
Elastic,
and orgiastic
we will blitz out on cherries
lips so juicy and red.
footing drunkenly sideways,
and so, to bed.

Clatter of Bliss
Clatter of happiness fatten our ears with/
Spirited praises & glorifications.
Drums - alto saxophones - eject contents
Of heavenly beats & lyrics / Our feet know too many dance steps- As attestation to the lord
For the bell of another year jingle to our witness in glorious shape.
Hubbub of crackers strip the air off its scent - nothing

Train's Rhythmic Clatter
December winter, the night peace broken.
Pulling in a deep drag, a wee sound spoken,
Unseen considerable distance, recurrent roar
Of a train's vibration snaking on the rail score
A serpent devouring the expanse of space,
With its deafening thundering roar race
Of its whistle warnings, the closer it nears.
Approaching road crossing the ditch lights appear,
Metal

Third Worst Clatter of Antimatter
THIRD WORST CLATTER OF ANTIMATTER
clatter of antimatter
alien dishes splatter
(the shape of spaceships)
his antennas* whir with rising
he considers going wireless
a dish flying at warp speed
like a zillion cyclonic bats
(female Vogon shriek encapsulated by rage)
the creaming of eggs

Chatter and Clatter
Chatter and Clatter
A lot more chatter;
Now what has been the matter?
Trump growing fatter.
Which one is bigger?
Criticism hair trigger
Or you go figure.
Smallest brain of all;;
President who does appall;
Like a baby bawl.
Does any of this
Sound awfully familiar
Or else similar.

Nonsense Clatter
Okay, what do I want to write about?
I think I am going to write about nonsense
Lol
It seems to be my favorite topic of all
Why do you want to talk about something else
When you have right here a great subject
To tackle everything on the planet?
Don’t believe me?
I am going to show and prove to you that
What

Clatter In Tree Tops
Such a clatter in the tree tops
above, what a fuss you're making
on this most cloudy spring day.
As cool breezes gently blows through
your feathers, watching you as you
fly away; wondering was it worth it all,
just enjoy this beautiful day as
I'm doing.
