Loudens Poems | Examples


Premium MemberA BLACKPOOL TRAM

A distant mumble, a muffled drum roll. 
Seconds on, come the serious decibels. 
Heavy rumbling with sharp percussions. 
Squeal of the steel; wheel scraping on the rail. 
Metal clatter loudens then dies to silence.
Spent fares alight and new fares climb aboard. 

Ting ting. The cream and green is off again, 
Above it, brief flashes of lightning blue 
As straying volts are lost to salty air. 
Soon far off the rumbling fading away.

Experiment With Boiling Water

EXPERIMENT WITH BOILING WATER

Let your dubious interest in science not diminish;
Just watch the water-boil process from start to finish.
Gas flame is  lit and well-adjusted:
As  a scientist you're hot as  mustard.
See the  condensation on glass above water level ?  
Soon you’ll have  covered base of glass kettle  
With  the small bubbles of trapped steam you distended.
They became  lines of moving  bubbles and  ascended 
Like watery snakes looking for their surface goal
And hissing as they failed to find it in  shoals.
Now they’ll rise ever more frequently, ever faster  - 
The rate is chosen by the experiment master.
The  slight  hisses become   rumbles
Kettle rattle loudens as  your gas flame tumbles.
Space above water level fills with steam -
The boiling makes scientist-eyes gleam.
A whistle treble starts to tremble 
Then, gaining courage, it will soon resemble 
The olden-days police summons pitch
Of ultra-high  G  or A-sharp, very rich.
I should  stop now  before I have  trouble with the law 
Of physics – for the water boiled away as we saw:
And the kettle dried out.
The experiment was over, we had left no doubt.

Brown Eyed Boy

Brown eyed boy
sailing on a ship of dreams
in an ocean of blue sky
sewn with cotton seams.

Sails are filled with wind
blowing from the east.
A symphony of music
created by the sea.

Brown eyed boy
listens to the notes as
people cage his joy,
they say dreams can't last.

The music loudens, sails whip.
He knows and believes.
His heart won't let him quit,
his dreams survive on the sea.

Brown eyed boy
help me survive.
I am caged joy,
imagination deprived.

I used to be like you
dreams soaring high,
til I invited people in to 
control my life.

Help me, help me
I've forgotten how to dream,
how to hope and believe
in...anything.
