Short Clappers Poems

Lunation night time

Another, cloud standees give

under the clappers...

Warm wind blows on bells,
The clappers pick the movement,
The sound joins the breeze....

The elegant mute swan,
Gliding through the water,
It's feet under the water,
Going like the clappers....

Those windchimes dancing in the wind
Can drive the sane around the bend
Give neighbours a beer
So its crystal clear
Which tinkle may make a new friend!...

Season's grumpy greetings
Santa's humbug helpers
Sleigh bell's clanging clappers
Snowman's creepy carrot
Shifty carol crooners
Seldom enjoy eggnog
Sullen new year nonsense

Advertising has us in it's wrappers
here's the bad stuff ~ here the clappers,
it seems the product needs the jabbers

old bones
hanging from abandoned nest
clicking
in a silent breeze

corn stalks
brittle in an August heat
chafing 
in torrid torture

seeds scattering
in tin roof
timpani

clothes pins
humming
on long forgotten
lines

bare branches
chattering
at each gust
of icy rain

church bell clappers
nudging
the edge
of solemn psalms

distant chimes
telling us tales
if we but
listen.
