Long Tittle tattle Poems

2/23/18


On me you'd tittle tattle
Too often you told me fiddle-faddle
Now you're beginning to unravel
Can't even handle
Your own battle
And are being used an example
For what happens when you pull a scandal


You told me claptrap
It's time I...

The Ghost Train

North Wind, it was a howling, the sky was black as guilt
Malevolent the sheen, where upon her  moonbeams spilt
Through the murky distance, her belly glowing bright
Roaring down the line, she was roaring...

Brought back from the world of fantasies 
By the 8’o clock warning device
Raised up undesirably at a lazy pace
Retrieving the welcoming hateful whole day race. 

Jaded by the whole day lecture and ruined by assignments
Projects...

The leaves are slightly ripening
Signaling that fall is slowly approaching
Summer is still burning hot
and mutiny is fading on the rock
I quickly quell the silent fire 
with something that is solid  sound and proper
I have...

Lush green; thin leaves; tiny veins; almost stem-less; soft;
These concepts creep into when I think of grass, oft;
Seldom do I think of what's with or in the grass,
I sit, lay, sleep, walk over them, and...

Bountiful Interactions; Plethora of discussions;
Oodles of gossiping; certainly with those
Precious ones known as ‘Friends;

Those were the days at school – 
Innocence at zenith;
T’wos fun chatting over phone then;
Doing the Tittle-tattle about teachers,
Adoring those cute classmates;
Nostalgic...

The battle of wits who’s quickest to the target
The Referendum becomes our battling ground,
To silence the tongues that vanity took apart.
Saying little or nothing and have no command.

By force of nerves all generals pitted and...

Byword

(I)
Tittle tattle tales rattle.
Cabalistic cabals in cans:
Malicious mélange of melees.
Mummers murmur, mumchance mumble.
Mummichog: the perfidious Fundulus heteroclitus-
For this parlance is pestilence:
For your words, for their words,
For your walls, for their walls.
But for their worlds, for...

I pick up their idle chatter five days of the week.
Conversation with other passengers, I never seek
to learn of a secret one of them might privately leak.
But try as I might, I cannot help but...

The Russians are coming

Skiers complain it is too cold, most of them are from the cold country
is the frost in China different than say, Scandinavia?
A newspaper gleefully telling us there fewer spectators this time
then in...

Do you think you can win?
Do you even think you can contend?

When the tempestuous trolls come out to play...
1, 2, 3 to infinity with the vitriol they spew your way

These keyboard assassins will peck you...

A moment stretches
To open the window
Inviting with open arms
The clouds from beyond.
A rainbow will come, there any time
When I am alone, and I am serene, 
Among the bustling crowd
When I am lost
Anonymity lessens
The burden of...

Brutus, my slavering Rottweiler, growls
He knows he's tougher than pooches with tails
The long pointed studs on his black leather collar
Are matched by his canines which make poodles holler

The drooling saliva that trails from his jaws
As...

Cats-dogs fight - is a common sight,
Each thinks: fighting is their birthright;
As though each exhibits their might,
Or trust in the code: might is right;
Fight is canine story...

Dogs don't harm cats, in real fact,
They throw a...

The sitting president of the USA (irony)

My dislike of Trump is deep
like that of any dictator driven by ambition and cruelty. 
Then I read the twitter and find tittle-tattle 
about him and the women in...

Like many comrades and councilors of Moon Knight,
Daredevil, Matt Murdock, was in fight and might, bright;
Reservoir of Herculean power and strength,
He could lift thousands of pounds and punch any length...!

Gymnast! Acrobat! Olympic muscle tissues!
He could...

Bookends call a gaggle of bedraggled books to attention.
The big fat tomes, short stories, paperback,
are all pulled into line, toe-to-toe buttressed on parade.
Books need bookends to get propped up and be seen,
to get up out...

Throwing Shade is aimed at one's aspirations, 
dreams, and optimism, Throwing Shade.

Including confidential matters once shared one's
thought might be kept privileged,
information at one point handed out is now
disclosed, Throwing Shade.

Unrestrained talk spreads like wildfire, Throwing
Shade.

Monday
Quick! Arm the army
Lucifer has gone barmy
Where’s the witch when we need her?
Having a strop, the silly mare
Stoke the anger of battle
This is more than tittle tattle

Rumours be damned
Satan’s got this thing planned
She primed up...

Wind has wide mouth, 
Mouth like river pouring out,
Clutching with an over-bite, 
Whispering closed to our antennas. 
Who possessed secrets? Enigma 
Nothing is cloak-and-dagger.
We all have bad blood 
And breathe air thick with gossip

Matters after...

Odd man out
 He cuts a lonely figure
Only he isn’t.
Avoided learning the language where he lives
To avoid tittle-tattle.
He is a failed poet too.
Rancorous and silent
But does smile and say thank you a thousand times
As is...

Does this divine deliverance delve deep
beneath shackled truths. Hidden behind words
was honesty, expensive deceit so cheap
like an orchid amongst dandelion herds.
Arrogance betrayed behind tears you weep,
snuffed sensibility beguilingly girds.
Friendship accords toasted with tainted drink,
forced to...

"I find my peace in Jesus' name"
"In the eye of the storm" waiting
Wondering when's the next battle
When a chat turns to tittle-tattle

I hope never again, pray, then
"I find my peace in Jesus' name"
I know, "when...
