sometimes my head gets in the way
the chitter chatter drives me crazy
so much so i wish i could just pause
and park it somewhere for a spell

chitter chatter
run run run
fluffy tail, fluff fluff fluff 

chase chase chase
fun fun fun
fluffy tail, fluff fluff fluff 

squirrel humor
pine cone temper too
You can chase me, I will chase you

chitter chatter
bat bat bat
watch out friend
Here comes a cat!...

You're out in the mist
Unaware of what lies ahead of you 
Oblivious to the fact that you are being eyed upon 
To a wink of an eye you react 
Uncontrollably you smirk a smile
Chitter-chatter begins 
Smiles and laughter intensify 
Flirtatious moments expand 
Lips collide...

my mind is all
chitter chatter
body propelled
pitter patter
compelled to
touch the sky.
i cannot tell
but i cannot lie-
still, carbonated
breath, the will
of life; the promise
of death. i know
i am here, i know
you are too, but
we're surrounded
it's crowded &
my heart-
achoo....

Chitter chatter left little doubt what creature was hiding in the pines.
I knew before it threw two walnut shells upon my shoes, both nines.
Creature’s eyes appeared before it ears, teeth played upon my silly rears.
Tiny screamed a shrill unholy evil scream, bringing to my ears quick tears....

Hustle bustle
all the day;
chitter chatter
all the way.

Pitter patter
goes the feet;
credit debit 
watch them fit.

Ponder wonder,
goes the mind;
"holla! did i
make a find?"

Whimmy whammy
swing the gates;
flimmy flammy
"we're in haste!"

Blunder Flounder
through the gates;
helter skelter
what a waste!...

Amidst the chitter chatter, 
The cool breeze blows, 
In the hubbub of life,
Poetry freely flows;

Listen to its sweet murmur,
Reaching you through the din,
As the breeze touches you, 
Tingling your skin;

Jot down the soft words,
Slowly as they come,
Smile as it refreshes you,
In this dull humdrum.

Huge self-control projected never waned
The silent students exercised wise brains
Chitter-chatter with grand strength restrained.
Surprisingly, not one of them complained.
Some freely chose to study, wisdom reigned.
And so it was until no time remained
By choosing thus, they earned my great respect.
Their happy faces in my thoughts reflect.

Red lorry, yellow lorry, don't worry
Mr Furry liked to bury all his curry

She sells sea shells to Mr furry
But he was off taking care of his curry

Mr Furry was hairy but went to meet Betty
But Betty was busy with her bit of Butter

Betty saw Gerry going to the gutter
They started their own chitter-chatter

Peter Piper then picked a peck of peppers
Peter, Betty, Gerry and Furry played- stone paper scissors!!...

Fluffy tailed performers
Chitter chatter among themselves
No one listening, everyone slathering
Juicy gossip 

Taking daring fifteen foot leaps and dives
From magnificent heights, barely landing on
Tiny branches.

Flinging themselves with wild abandon
And oodles of faith into the air, flipping and
Swirling. Contortionists.

Sliding up trunks the way others slide down.
Landing with a well-earned acorn in their jaws....

She said this.
Chitter chatter chitter chatter
She said that.
Chitter chatter chitter chatter
What do you think she meant?
Chitter chitter chitter chitter.

I do not know, I say, not looking up from my typing,
Irritated now.
Why don’t you go ask her?
Oh, I could not do that.
Chitter. Chatter. Chitter Chatter.

I am silent,
Hoping she will get the hint.
But she does not.
Apparently I am her last friend?
Wonder why?...

Wet sidewalks and colouful leaves
Tuning out the crowds as volume
Chitter chatter pitter patter; gray
The late autumn's drizzling clouds
Tales cold northern rains; pictures
Ascending timeless steps in frozen 
State's; never having truly existed
A skeletals key amid, love's hands
Another shouting with a thousand 
Voices from this street their truths
Stepping unto divinities threshold
Beyound its passage where awaits
Destiny's realm these faithful hues....

Beseech the wooden hip and eye
To paddle off and caper.
Beseech the Maxfold cat and stye
Forlorn with hairy Gator.

Bring not thy chesticle to bear,
Thy open arms to boot.
Beseeching here and everywhere
To hear old Amos flute.

'You can but not cumcumber me!'
He gummed in chitter-chatter,
And passing water from his knee
Knew something was the matter.

Alas! Alak! A Ladybird-
A lullaby in butter.
Beseech in me the rare absurd,
Not sane, not yet a nutter....

The sizzle of the griddle
amongst the chitter-chatter
of nubile meanderings

The St. Francis rocks
rocks the soda POP stops...

This fifties Fonzi haunt 
for the twenty-first century's gaunt
feeds the bellies of San Francisco's dreamers.

Amongst a milkshake swirl
stand pretty girls 
tee's rolled up tattoos unfurled
on lollipop like pedestals they twirl
unwinding like wet red and white paper straws
barelegged or blue-jeaned.

The St. Francis rocks
rocks the dinners scene....

Wonderful Beauty
To See The Hummingbird Seeks
Sweet Nectar Of Life.

Flower To Flower
Flying Across In The Blue Sky
Singing So Proudly.

Ruby-throated Are The
Prettiest And Cute Hummingbird 
Whizzing Wings Are Blur.

Chitter Chatter Chat
Through Rapid Dance Of Her Wings
Spasmodic Little Bird.

Peering Into The
Heart Of The Each Nice Flower
The Flying Jewel Sips.
