Clatters Poems

Rust

...I am a ruined house 
With a rusty fence,
So many phantoms reside resting recklessly,
A clock on the mantelpiece that won't work.  It's stuck staring at me,
Tick………,
The wallpaper is crumbling an...

Happiness in Memoriam

...There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
—Aeschylus

Happiness in Memoriam

Each neuron tingles with happiness, in unnerving vise.
Presently, the squeeze...

Not going far in my car

...pitter patter drips drops and plops
blathers blatters splatters sploshes and drips
bitter twitter twatters and twaddles, flips and flops

chitter chatter babbles clapt...

ON A MATTER OF PEACE

...ON A MATTER OF PEACE

Cock a doodle doo, good morning to you.
That rooster’s woken me again.

Beating on the window pane.
Tick tock, tick tock

Wabi-Sabi

...

rain shatters against stone and brick walls
on dusty roads, oak trees fence with twigs—
wushu wooden clatters.

Another Love Poem

...

I'm not writing another
All the words have since been said
Besides, it's dark and it's cosy
As I lie alone in bed

I'll magic up a subject..
Let the words just tumble out
Be proactively ca...

Nothing Else Matters

...In the quiet dark, where tears fall free,
There's a place inside, just you and me.
No more pain, no worldly clatters,
In this empty space, nothing else matters.

Lost in a void, no joy, no light...

The Roggenwolf

...A familiar dawn of dull and sunless sky
the inconstant rattle of unlocked door, which

Inevitable Death Defines Afterlife - Deux

Memories stir chapters of the past.

I always wondered what my life would have ...

...The flop and flurry of wide, woozy wings
clatters over dawn hedgerows.
Claws scrabble, feathers flounce.
An ounce of twitters rebounds
into raucous sound.

Here a rowdy cackle,
here a coddled ...

The Writer

...Fancy that...
Being able to spend the whole morning
Writing a poem!

My mother's hands
Were etched in a network of tiny cracks.
Salt of the earth, the doctor said. 
She thought it meant he lov...

Enduring a Monsoon

...I was awakened by the sounds of clatters and thumps
as a whoosh of breeze made my window blinds thud.
I rose with a groan and felt the rise of goose bumps...
