Premium Member Cheese? Keys?

When asked why I can’t find my keys,
I snicker, and then I say please…..
I have a clapper
and I’m very dapper,
just don’t ask me to please cut the cheese!

Her name was fancy Ann flapper Bell
they called her the bell of the ball
the story goes, she was a flapper
who married a clapper,
a fine banger of the bell.

Pen over paper

Over your body is a caper

Exhibits a clapper

Twists like a rapper

Rendition of a writer

Your style peps and ponder

Soup that heals not wither

Outshining like a saber

Unleash your power

Power of poetry... in you!

I'M Scared

Am I in a act of play,
did the clapper board come down
just as I looked away?

I see the crowd,
their eyes embedded,
Is this the nightmare,
that I've dreaded?

Standing alone
the spotlight screaming,
my hope in God, is,
That I'm just dreaming.

Trees Have Ears!

You, parkland tree, now landed on
Neath, lain of we two, now
Who may not speak up but who listens!
Deep-rooted one, deep thou!

Love-birds, all, whilst that for their hearts
Does, a-flutter, resume
The avid clapper of one made glad
Does, leafy blown, assume.

Premium Member Impatience

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????
Form: Limerick

tin pan's corners

i'm whiskey beats outta country
jazz, too classic
old's city in LA
high damn
runnin up you like water
all most hiding skin

and overatures 
lest i grieve through absurd
trist's with confi, daunting
clapper town

east block alter girls
choired saints lost frames
too paint
sorry bouts 
runnin up like water's mam

Premium Member Bb's Rattle

BB's really rattle in the shell
Of a container,loose like bell
Clapper, hanging free to ding
Ideas rattle in poet's brain to ring

The audience, and awake from sleep
Oh! Into a new dimension of deep
Thoughts, understanding of heights above
The ordinary, into a new realm of love  (truth)


(Thank you Lord for your blesssings on me.)

Rural Glimmers

In the country, we do not have city shine,
we have luster, 
we have the glimmer of voles,
the fumes of turbid crawlers
under the slow burn of iridescent woods. 

We who night-watch
see from sunken waters,
gather light from luminous cisterns.
We understand black;
how it sheens the clapper claw.

On the pitch of the concealed
a country ken leads us to a quickened vision,
we see as a horse sees
fleeing from a fire breathing barn.

Bells

My bells, are shared with you,
At the ringing  in of the taut day
And the ringing out of the mayfly

The bells, brazen, lucid, warm,
Silence the chatter of the clouds,
Bring solace to a weary ear

And the peeling bellow of the rim,
The clatter of the clapper, urged on by 
Yolk, the busy carillon two octaves tall

Falls quiet the nightfall comes, tied the 
Ringers’ rope on wooden stop; cadence,
Hum, now spins the air in hollow cup
