        My brain

leaves now reedlike sing
as stalks of bamboo bump clack
my quarry now close....the Panda...

Click clack;
Memories

How it makes that soothing sound
I love the way it goes CLICK CLACK
As its falling on the ground...

Along the rickety track,
Load the coal, toot the whistle,
Cross the trestle, clickety clack....

The click-clack of reindeer hooves on the roof;
A tight slide down the chimney;
Santa’s delivery.

Clickety clack
pin drop
the dance is golden
rain drops
but what is next
sudden storm
silence is violent

The click clack of typos;

Am I in the groove or on the right track?
My record player goes clickety-clack,
The lyrics I hear are all in pig-Latin,
Backed by the sounds of downtown Manhattan....

we
heard
the
wings of 
the

the
nectar of the gods 
click-clack
clickety-clack...

Five ghostly cats rose from the bowels of Jack
Appeared silently with no clatter or clack.
How did that jack-o-lantern create those ghoulish cats?
Wondered gargoyles, ghouls and ebony bats....

The dull clack of flip-flop slaps,
describes the taste of my water--
The smell of unscented candles,
like last night's forgotten dream--

Never cease my heart's percussion.

Well clickety clack, here comes Jack
Full of beans, whatcha think about that
You can count on him
 To make you grin
A bunch of silly humour he surely don't lack

Tap, tap, clickety-clack
Thoughts vigilantly stamped

Twain's famous "Tom Sawyer"
Time etched black and white scene
Tinted with grandpa's dust

You have to be super quiet Timmy whispered to Mac
Mac scrunched down, and sighed loud in his back
Resting away as they hit every clickety clickety clack.
Conductor noticed but was kind enough to turn his back....

                   pitter patter

I click clack up the street at two a.m. sometimes.

She entered the room with high heels that clicked
Click Clack Click Click Slide Slide, they were rather slick!
We were all intimidated by their height by the way.
But I felt sorry for the wearer;
Who soon became a swearer...

The train hurdles into the black
    Bound for who knows where and back
      White billowing from its smoke stack
         Mesmerized by it repetitive clickity clack
            Wondering,and wishfully looking down the track......

I broke my mother's heart

To please my friends 

Some bridges where not built to be mended 

They are open ended

Like Ghost Station's 

And platform's 9 and 3/4

Mind the Gap

Clickedy Clack 

The journey terminates here...

Clickety-clack train
and topsy-turvy brain.
Need sleeps tight and sound,
drowsy wheels are turning slowly around.
On the way to my home.
Ah! I'm missing my comfy room.
Though higgledy-piggledy bed
but all I am craving is my fluffy blanket....

I Run; Panting; Rushing to be on time.
My cart's wheel screaming clicketty clack
Hurrying through darkened city streets and alleys. 
Gnawing Hunger outweighing my fear of red-eyed rats
as scents of tonight's meal fills the midnight garbage bins....
