Clinched their honorable souls--
Demons laughed and clapped...

The  guitar strummed
The trombone oom pah pah'd

And some called out Hurrah...

Hail pelted cars to smash repairs.
Shops clapped shut with thunder rolls.
Spring tripped and fell downstairs....

the closure was made
the curtains fell
hands clapped

then you crushed
the only puppet you had on stage
me...

Two were crazy but then there was me.
Raunchy laughter loud
Truly insane proud.
Restaurant clapped when we left there finally....

whose two buxom breasts were set free.
Twin seaweed straps snapped
as thunder clouds clapped
and the sailors drown ecstatically....

He paced his bedroom all through the night
So filled up with pride
He clapped 'til he cried:
"How does a Limey turn off the light?...

No one saw the childlike angel, as she flew from high above,
Each performance was delightful, the audience clapped for more,...

Seems like you have a nervous habit
of swaying side to side whenever you sing.
Or are you doing that on purpose?
I laughed, clapped
yelled and cheered you on.
But it seems everyting is pointless...

you’ll never notice me will you?...

I’ve danced in a clowning jig,
Bells on my nimble toes,
Askew on my head, a wig,
Smile painted over my woes.

I’ve clapped in a rhythm inane---
Jumped in my floppy clothes…
My grease-paint dissolved in rain…
While tear-drop insanity flows....

She gave me everything, i gave it back
she deserved an ovation, but i rarely clapped
love is sweet as cake, but eat it fast
choke on it even, this too shall pass
cupid is a marksman, youve heard the phrase
'you cant run from love' like you cant run from age......

tonight on the back deck
the cat laid in my lap
while rain poured like heck
and lightning's thunder clapped

as bolts sky-cracks wrecked
the darkness was in color wrapped
all round and the rain never slacked
as fifteen year old iris simply napped


stan sand...

When the rain falls slowly as if we were in Cape Breton 
and the bird in the well is singing a solo song of beauty 
I long for the days when the sun clapped his mighty ray
on our tanned backs and left us , to our own demise.

        they beat the drum

       clacked   on rock
       clicked    their tongues
       clapped   hands
       
       goading me on
       for mine gyrate
              with
           the king's
           feminine
              flock

“But who painted the rainbow?” she asked the boy.

He smiled.

“And who created those stars?”
	He clapped his hands with glee.

“And who decorated the meadow?”
	He grinned.

“And who created those two –legged beasts?”
	
“I thought we needed them,” God told Mother Nature....

The heavens clapped, 
and wept with delight,
to have witnessed ,such a union ,
so pure, so bright.

their are none, that are so fair as you.

Cloth of gold circled her feet
Sitting at her tapestry kindly smile
Dear, you love me do you not?
With all my heart Sweetest !
She clapped her hands twice
Banquet  table , minstrels , ice 
Bright  eyes blue loved to stress
Well versed charms all impressed
Sat down in ceremony served a treat...

Victims claim the well must be capped
Zapped off by their hands two times clapped 
But oil will still leak
While their talking heads speak
Logic tapped from minds that have snapped 
 

Author's note:  Are the people on this site too high class to know about the clapper?  I thought this was funny????...

A turtle dove
I landed on your chest
Widened the jagged crack 
Your Heart chambers shivered
Quiet silver ripples in a
Tender Garden of Eden 

Watching me, your son
Clapped his hands in orange glee
I sought some breadcrumbs 
Which I found upon your stable sea
I was vanquished by the I
Within your I...

After the storm ends 
the sun peeks through the clouds, 
the rain stops suddenly 
the thunder clapped clear and loud. 

Nature is being replenished 
by a summer storm, 
it's nice to see the sun again 
but, I know storm clouds, when they form.

No bird remains to sing his song
So silence pounds the whole day long

In beat with memory of the day
I clapped to make him go away

The fault, it clearly lies with me
The bird was what the bird should be

Now I live knowing I was wrong
To want to silence any song

…Inspired by ‘A Minor Bird’ by Robert Frost...

It's a glorious moment, a watershed,
the campuses of apathy
brought to new life in rebellion
It's 1968 all over again
and the homicidal warmonger 
on the defensive.
How wonderously they 
march to the patty wagons
with lion's heart! Clapped by a whole nation
disgusted by their politicians' complicity with
genocide....
