Short Clangs Poems

Falling diamond beads from sky
Clangs loud and so might
Watering everything with ice!!!

Just when it's set to meld
Jumble shake makes trouble
Jingle crescendo clangs
Jangle bangle rattles
Junking love's blind assent
Jarring discordant doubts
Jostles our hands apart...

With a loud hoot it alerted, with resounding clangs it boomed
The people were informed, that it had arrived
A lot in its stomach it carried,from far away it transported
To the city it  headed,when all at the station boarded
The Express Train was soon gone....

Bells
are heard
peals, loud and clear
clangs from the church tower
welcome friends to assemble here
for a wedding to take place on the hour
tolls after the vows were spoken
chimes of
joy

The golden bell clangs and a name, is read aloud.
Like human incense, in the shape of a lovely
heart-cloud.

Many want to forget America's day of infamy.
But to family and friends, each name bears much 
love and eternal dignity.

From  her thick, littered journal
Notes of passion  burn with love
Against clangs of  dinnerware---
Till hours roam  into near morn
Her spouse digging  through  work’s pile.
Upstairs, she jots  tender  lines

Dreaming  of intimate nights .

Oh precious gemstone riverbed

            Flowing through waterfall beauty boulders

            Embellished deep within multiple rocks

            Beauty resounding clangs of time

            Embedded beyond knowledge 

            Washing over thousand green fields 

            In a place of supreme boundary...

Raindrops tap the window seals 
Leaving their imprint concealed within its transparency 
Small in stature, but large in impact 
Creating thuds and clangs of large proportions
Immediately, the woman is affected by rainflow
The sounds of flowing water causes her to produce her own waterfall
On this very day, she learned the true meaning of precipitation...

Darkness envelops like giant wings
Heart thumping eyes unfocused,
Hearing nothing silent as a graveyard,
Under a misty moon a dark shape looms,
Grey, solid, shiny marble it's a cold tomb,
Paying respects with a nod then walk on by,
Respect to all those that are long gone,
All is clear the gate clangs shut, 
The key turns in the lock,
Darkness envelops the graveyard once more...

Standing on a beam,
shrine :
holding a black dawn,

my phoenix roving on dark river.
The bell still clangs ;
I hear the footsteps.

A weird thought
spreads out on peripherals,
makes holes,

the undone communiqué
of a war
between knuckles ;

the blind eyes 
lift the fallen globe
of light.

I move from tree to tree.
Who was left unburned ?
The sky was overcast.

If your headache is bad,
It's about to get worser.
The fun that you had
Is just a precursor...

To the fun you won't have
Once it's time to clock in.
There's no balm and no salve
That can quiet the din...

That clangs in your head
Once the work week's begun.
But at least you ain't dead,
And the man hasn't won.

So shake your fist and stick it to 'em.
Mondays, we all have to go through 'em....

- Underway
Batten down hatches,
Engine order telegraph...
Clangs full steam ahead.

- Crossing The Bar
Gray sky’s foreboding,
Waves crashing over the bow...
The steal womb shudders.

- Making Way
The days grow longer,
As gulls climb on the fresh breeze...
Betwixt and between.

- Arrival
Red, right, returning,
Tugs hasten our arrival...
Heaving lines are thrown.

                Summer San Francisco Valentine



                 Your heart beats in me 
                 Loving you seasonlessly
                 Under summer stars


 
                 Our silk kimonos
                 Bamboo fever, Powell Street
                 A cable car clangs
