Rattling Thoughts

It is night's first light — evening
The world thinks through my mind
The echoes of a bittersweet day whisper
My ears twitch, my heart pricks

A pressed edge leans forward
Shouldering the offices of the earth
A desire to just surmount the hurdles
Like an infant falls yet learns to walk

The one weary of deferred hope
The other elated 'bout a filled

Sabre Rattling

With claws like those of a Lioness,
  Beaks like those of an Eagle and
  Horns like those of a raging Rhino, 
  All in one entity
  He looked helplessly as they 
  Swooped on him from from all directions
  No where to run no where to hide;
  With

A Visitor

The month May had brought the hottest summer early                          
 Decided to go to our village cottage.

probing defences
the bear at the border growls ~

Rattling the Rattler

a baby hit a rattler with its rattle
the rattler was startled so it rattled
the babe loaded a diaper
and perfumed the pit viper
that's how a babe beat a snake in battle

A Rattling Rhyme

Life’s moving too fast
house is trashed
Football, cheerleading, band 
carpooling all over the land 
From here to there and everywhere 
look at the roots in my hair
Never get it curled
seems like it’s all a blur
Guess what I overheard 
doesn’t matter anyway
I’m in a rush today
Gotta fill the car
tonight’s  “Dancing with the Stars”
He’s at the bar

Tossed On the Tide - a Rattling Rhyme

On an azure expanse without prospect or sail
        the debris of my ship rent asunder from gale
            as I float, the last salt to endeavor my breath
    my mates sent to Davey Jone's locker

A Rattling Rhyme

I can't help but wonder, what am I supposed to wonder about?
Society has put certain rules into play, that I can seem to wrap my mind around.
To think a certain way, to speak a certain way.
And to do this with no question about why we are being controlled every single day.
So, what does the world

A Rattling Rhyme

Once there was a little redhead
Lying on his sweet little bed
Suddenly there was a scratching
Then his teddy he was snatching
Growls, beneath where he was lying
With all his might he was trying,
Desperately trying to be brave
But very soon he'd meet his grave
He cringed and pulled up the covers
Suddenly starting to hover
Violently up, up, up he went
He

A Rattling Rhyme

In a blink of an eye
a whole year can pass by-
and the older I get,
makes for sadder regret.

Each new calendar page
makes me think of my age-
for so quickly each flies
as I say my goodbyes.

Winter turns into spring
great to hear the birds sing.
In haste, summer days call-
then convert into fall.

Why is that, I oft ask?
I'm retired

A Rattling Rhyme

Ride of the Scarecrow Clan

(To: Mittens) 

She was born in the corn on a cold misty morn,
the most beautiful cat on the farm.
(I must keep her from coming to harm!)
The most beautiful kitty inspired this ditty
with whiskers that whisper her charm,
wild white whiskers that whisper her charm. 

But the angels grew jealous, much too overzealous,
they

A Rattling Rhyme

A RATTLING RHYME

Hannah McCustopha, married to Mustapha,
Couldn’t stop chattering, just like her dear Mama.
Yat ta ta Ya ta ta, Na ta ta Na ta ta.
That was the cause of Ma’s parting from her papa.

The feminine side of the family McCustopha,
Famous for talking from New York to Omaha.
Tourists came just to hear them from near and

Boxing Ring - Rattling Rhyme

Punch to the left, punch to the right,
Hold nothing back, in a boxing match,
Show him no pity, hit him real tight,
One in the tummy, punch to dispatch!

crowds cheering, coach’s swearing,
This is the dream, you worked to win!
radio is blaring, bookies screaming,
Don’t ease your grip, smash his grin!!

His head is bleeding, his eye is black,
Quick on

A Rattling Rhyme

STORM ELECTRIC

Over there
in the hills
There’s a flash 
Giving birth
To a sound 
Like a pulse 
In the veins
of the Earth

Echoing
From the crags
As a drum 
Beat ahead
The condemned 
On his walk
On the morn 
He would dread

Then the fire 
in the sky
As it comes 
ever close
With a crash 
and a roar
Turns a tree 
Into toast

When you walk 
through

A Rattling Rhyme

Wasted words

Wasted words
Empty ink
Left alone
Just to think
Once you were
Now you’re not
Seems that most
Have forgot
Time you spent
On their page
Verses read
Center stage
Curtains drawn
Lights are dim
Views are gone
Comments slim
All good things
They must end
Matters not 
What you’ve penned
Take your thoughts,
Stanzas too
Go away
That means you
We don’t care
What you write
Any day
Late at night
Poetry
for the birds
Empty ink
Wasted words
