Chains clank
dragging past
into tomorrow
never free...

she jumps in his mind 
like a sudden cymbal clank 
she's a crush, of love

The canvas is blank; all blank
You could paint a picture of a plank
With a pirate on board,
That collects eggshells to hoard,
With some iron around his neck, going CLANK....

Down at the local health club site
Where barbells clank with muscled might
The biggest display of competitive pace
Is muscling for the closest parking space

Delicious
sweet
3.14
yum
fills my whole plate
my fork sinks into the deep red goo
chink, clank
fork hits the metal plate
in my mouth the taste
still lingers
goo on my fingers
oh my sweet cherry pi, goodbye...

Often wondered, what really turns my crank
Basically don't care as long as it doesn't clank
Though sometimes it squeaks
Causes redness of cheeks
Especially at the end when it's given a big yank...

'Neath the mountain, on river bends bank 
Paw prints left...where old grizzly drank 
A canoe, missing a plank 
Abandoned...near it sank 
My mind, to be frank 
Clackety clank 
Drew a blank 
I thank...

                                           The clank of the spoon
                                         Against the full chili bowl
                                            Tonight gas fills room

My little dice
So small and ornate
They clank against
A dinner plate
As I sit in the kitchen
With Mathew and Ian
Playing magic
A slice of pizza to my side
Those were the days 
Before
I can’t go back
But can I revisit them anew?...

Words ached again, beats beget
Clang, clank, clash, clink, click
Dance dawns, great night dance
Domed Dwarf great house, Eagle
Flies eerie, flies, falls, rises

To be perfectly frank, girls in shorts turn my crank
My old motor starts roaring with a squeak and a clank
My eyes start whirling
My head starts swirling
At my age, drooling's frowned on to be perfectly frank

Pans clank together
flour flies  everywhere.
Children's laughter fills the air.
Taste here and there.
Pouring ingredients into bowls
spilling most on the floor. 
Making memories for all to treasure.
Thats what kids remember 
when baking with momma....

Silence
in the clank of the button
on my blue jeans
tumbling in the dryer

Silence
in the ceaseless yapping
of the dog locked outside
next door

Silence
in the booming stereo
from the truck parked
out front

Deafening cacophony
in the silence
from you...

As Jack Was Walking in The Snow

Jack saw wife's nightgown on the home snowbank
At first, his heart leaped frogged, and teeth croaked clank
Why his little bare bo-peep
Pulling his buff wool so deep
Soon joy rose and love snowballed at her prank

dishes clank and clatter
the bustling sound of chatter
would distract me but with you I’m 
entranced, our love is still
captivated by a smile

BREAKFAST  AT  HOME



Familiar sounds  from the kitchen  -
Preparatory squeak of cupboard door,
Businesslike clank of pan on stove, water splashing from taps,
Promising chink of plates and cups, rattle of knives and forks,  
Smell of tea brewing and flame-done toast,
Crackle of eggs frying, sizzle of bacon....

The clouds float freely past the sun
Dew drops glisten on the rose petals
Trees rustle as the gentle breeze laughs
Silver bells tinkle the joy of future days

The dark night sky is starless
Mud coats the ground
Lonely feet pad in the cold
Tears flow down the child's pale cheek
Iron bells clank the passing of life...

   Shot after shot after shot
     Caitlin’s red-hot

   Swish, swish, swish; the net barely moves
     Caitlin feels it; she’s in the groove

   Game after game, win after win
     The adulation never wears thin

   Comes the game for the number one rank
     Caitlin’s shots go clank, clank, clank

   Her touch, gone; her face, drawn
     Millions of shots for tears spawned

Clank . . . Clank 
Sparks fly for the first time 
across another frigid day 
black chunks with shards of clay 
thrown anger out the way 
 

Softness hardens amid decay 
the midnight's all tucked away 
the red, the grey, the blues still play
with one foot in the grave 
 

Deep below the frost line 
where Lucifer waits alone 
this shovel's getting heavy 
lay down in fields of bone...

The train moves with its clickitty-clank of noise
Whistle blows steadily as it does approach
The train exists perfectly within its poise
The seating that's inside are first class and coach
Sight of the train approaching is tremendous
The train is rather plush, it’s luxurious
People move in and out of the lovely train
Doing daily chores, nothing is very plain

no soap, no ethyl for my skin.

 no hangovers left to form my 
bottled innocense 

may god keep my inner saint 
whole so that i may no longer
 need to scrub and scour my skin.

may the lord keep me from chaptering
 my signatures of sorrow at noonday.

now that all my ethyl gods have evaporated.
i judge all clutter with a sterile sobriety
 i take their hollow sinews to the recycling bin.

 tossing them in a pile they clank and clutter 
 loudly....
