Long Chatterbox Poems

Schools can be so unbearable sometimes, 
On some days, it’s the work
Homework!Homework!Homework!
On others, it’s the teacher
Do this! Do that! No! Yes! Stop! Don’t talk!
Some days, you just want to kill everybody

The Classroom is much like...

We all meet Friends like these and sometimes we keep them!!

Alternately titled: Get out of my head mister chatterbox!

While inside me noggin legions
of monstrous demons abhor
protest being force fed
arcane and obscure
assaying into religious dogma
hence mind chatter goes full bore
thus crafting poem quite a difficult chore,

Get out of my head mister chatterbox!

Ransacking treasure trove 
of maximum headroom.

To remedy a fate worse than death
or orange hair oaf becoming 
forty seventh president
or contracting one
of several viral diseases named pox
permeate heavy shut tight...

In the twilight of my thoughts, where shadows dance like ancient spirits,
I hear the whispers of the Word, a symphony woven by time,
The eternal ecstasy of a silence that flows through the veins of the...

By the teacher of children in a preschool class
Kids are taught how to listen first time asked

Have good manners by showing respect in school
Which naturally at times they disobey that rule

Life is a stage, each...

The appendix and punctuation and learning new words
As they sift and make the dough pliant and smooth verbs
The morning dew drops and the ear infections , as you had your inactive gold ear-rings, paired
The early...

sometimes, I am sleepwalking through life
disconnected
stumbling
not fully awake    lost and confused
I feel, I am not with the living
I tell myself,  "wake up before its too late!"
some roadblocks have me blocked

Deeply Scarred 



Oh it must be nice  
To be alone with your thoughts at night 

There’s something there
A quiet noise 
Beyond a point in the distance 
Of knowing
Of condition 
Mocking my existence 

Can’t put...

Paula parrot is my name. I'm from the wild, but now I'm tame
A chatterbox who likes to talk!

Now tell me what's the latest scoop? 
Oh! Watch your...

“I got this car, on my birthday,
What did you get?” Said the shade gray.
“Nothing too specific,” was my reply
Compared to the red Maserati with that guy
And this gave him another chance to sneer
Car keys in...

Get Out Of My Head Mister Chatterbox!

Upon prima facie first blush

sans long forgotten
"FAKE" sexual exploits

quickly realized trumpeting collusion,

Gallimaufry of linkedin words appeal,
(particularly spoken by renown orator)
'cept when unnamed poetaster afflicted
with chatterbox syndrome,
nonetheless deliberate effected

muzzle restraint imposed
suppressing groundswell analogous
to swollen dam bursting at seams
tongue kickstarts controlled regulator
tripping baffling babbling brook,

sans (cheesy) mouth trap

Anne Frank, a little girl
smart, beautiful and witty
on her thirteenth birthday
got, as gift, a small notebook
she promptly named Kitty.

Kitty soon became a friend
dear and close;
with it Anne shared
the secrets of her heart
her joys and woes.

Showcased...

Can’t believe how many years together. 
As a couple the ups & downs we weather. 
As husband and wife over the past six. 
Loyally accepting flaws we cannot fix. 

I’m not going to sugarcoat how...

I've had several interesting conversations with my old friend Flora.
I delight in chatting with her kith and kin of which there's a plethora!
I suppose you think that she is an elderly aunt of mine,
But folks,...

We are here living life in this moment of time,
a moment ago is part of the past:
time to wash away layers of dusty old grime,
don't let life harden you like a cast;
don't be trapped...

Inside is a secret enchanted map,
      where this life I recap;

My new kitty cat arrived in a tattered box,
she has long grey fur and looks like a fluff ball;
and it turns out she is quite a chatterbox,
but at first kitty is shy and does not...

THE WIFE
The fog smoking to the skies
Architecting more grey clouds
The ticking hands of the clock
Day getting old for more sunrays
With the luggage, I slam the door behind

Praying for traffic to fold up
Ugly devils working round...

Leaderboard paradox
Bard, crank or chatterbox
Irreconcilable
Most undeniable
Two titles possible?
Can't have all three

Grasp of the elements

For all to see

Post with impunity
Dishing encouragements
Never discouragements
Attaboy lunacy
Nice job! Spondee

In confession today

What will I say 
In confession today?
That I didn’t pray – 
How long will you stay
In confession today?

In confession today?
That I left my rosary beads at home
To benediction I didn’t...

Love always thinks it's chosen well,
Discerns no qualities to criticize.
In the loved one all is loveable,
And defects become virtues in a lover's eyes.
To speak, or write, or sing of love,
A lover needs no dictionary.
The words...
