Short Consonants Poems

I am so tired
that even with word candy
I feel so tired that the consonants
further exhaust me ...
So dismayed that I don't even speak,
I'm became a child
just babble
uh uh uh ......

Energizing all words
   agglutinating vowels and consonants
   soaking up the sounds and noises
    I erected the pristine foundations of poetry
    finally, I created myself
    poet... !...

The rolling of the tongue when the lips
depart each other.  The sounds of
the consonants and vowels,
The passion to do so
with e'vry heartbeat.
Knowing that the
truth is told
by the
eyes....

AN AGING PAGE



on a frozen floor

   silent consonants scatter

      smelling of black roses’ filth,

         chair without audience

            fleeing from abused vowels…

now alone, an aging page...

“You play words like an instrument”
someone once said
Each vowel as a whole note
to consonants wed

High praise from a seeker
deftly looking for more
New songs in the making
—words singing du jour

A book with no cover,
  a man with no name

Vowels dormant and muted,
  as consonants reign

A plot with no purpose,
  an ending refrained

Its message in conflict
   —with footnotes of pain

I is a vowel,
I am a man,
Part of the 
Human alphabet race;
A powerful letter or word,
Searching for other
Consonants and vowels
To combine with,
And tell an everyday story,
Finding form and meaning:
A letter has potential
To become a spoken word
And bring happiness or despair,
Becoming lost in a breath of air....

I live in a world of words
That constantly spins around
A solar system filled with verbs
And planetary nouns

Syllables that hold me down
Like the 3 in gravity 
Consonants in and out 
Is the oxygen I breath

Adjectives and adverbs
My galaxy abounds
In this world I live of words 
That constantly spins around...

U.K.    ALPHABET     RHYME




ABCDEFG, HIJKLMNOP, QRSTUV, WXY  and  Zed

Now I know my ABC  and can even remember it when in bed

If the vowels were blue and the consonants red

I could hold the pattern even clearer in my head

And with  the British rhyme of the last letter said

I’ll probably still recall it after I’m dead....

Ink spills purposely on paper
forming letters of certain alphabets
to vowels and consonants.
Though speechless, one puts
forth effort to enunciate and
pronounce aloud the syllables
carefully to articulate loves interest.
Do you
want to
be my
one 
and 
only 
Love Interest?

I draw 7 tiles
trying to build
off of the center word
in this real life game of scrabble

nothing I can construct
from this soul of vowels
no consonants
in my heart

the game plays on
your turn is quick
your tiles better
your heart unscathed

no words to make
to lead me forward
after the board is folded
and the game put away...

What is the substance
of nothingness

With nothingness the substance
of thought

Where is the truth
in indifference

Apathetically frozen
when taught

How then to measure
reluctance

With action the villain
of time

Seeking to baptize
the vacuum

Where consonants hide
—from the rhyme

A house of words
Alphabets, vowels and consonants 
Syllables and phases
Numbers and symbols
To make us laugh, sad, wonder, puzzled, entertain
Inspire us, motivation, and uplift 
Keep us busy
Give us knowledge, insight, wisdom
Facts and dates, measurements and updates
History and current affairs
The house that gives life meaning and purpose

Stand and deliver! this new bundle for your life 
Never you knave, I’m a muse not some midwife 
Bring me warm water, and lots of clean towels 
Did you not hear, I use consonants and vowels 
Too late it’s coming, goodness feels like a tome
Not really, congratulations! it’s a bite size poem

Yesterday an old, 
dusty notebook appeared on
my desk which I have
 
never thought to read
or even open again. 
It was the book of 

days filled with your words;
heart shards of mine which I kept
for another life;

for another me.
But now on I cannot tear 
apart my gaze from 

its pages for I yearn 
to morph into one with your 
own vowels and consonants....

My pen was blocked; no more poems would flow
My consonants were suffering from constipation

So I made an appointment to see the doctor
After a thorough examination of my pen
His diagnosis was pronounced

He looked me in the eye and said "Jan, I’m sorry to say you have …
Irritable vowel syndrome"

Thankfully this is a fiction write

Alliterative adjectives
Are like poetic additives
That rearrange raw rhythmic rhyme
So sonnets sound more-so sublime.

“Aggrieved aggressors,” “Angry Aunts”
“Outraged oppressors,” “Haunted haunts”
Are all alliterative bits
That prod poor poems into hits.

Consider how this very verse
Without alliteration would be worse.
For con-sequential consonants
Create quaint quotes of consequence....

I Watched TV last night

a musical special--

not one
of the young singers
had taken time
to learn proper breathing,

to smoothly exhale vowels

crimp the consonants

unlike even the basic cable guy
executing wire

relieved at least
they are not physicians
at my throat--

pools of blood
wail the mystics
bemoaning the letting

intimately knowing
our relationship
to Spirit Divine....

you chew the words
and the letters bleed
what you say makes no sense
the vowels run down the chin
the consonants look like crumbs
and spread out on the floor
I'm almost giving up on communication
I hear what you say
but I don't understand anything
we have two universes here
in one of them you rule
living in the world like a king
in the other I feel like a sewer
with my ears that accepts everything...

words in the form
of orgasmic poetry
spew from out me
but as of late
me being
a truant
troubadour 
in need
of more
education

displaced heart
palpitations
in need
of a teacher
but only thee
though reaching
across countries
across a sea
in expressive wit
with a width which

in need
only thee
who can put to
gether
gathering
my random vowels
and consonants content
making my Muses'
orgasmic
poetry...

Jumbled words inside my head,
collected from the books Ive read.
Paper sheets by the millions,
Vowels and Consonants by the trillions.
Pictures letters so absurd,
each dot and slash and every word.
Flash before me has I write,
I see them all in black and white.
Both a comfort and a fright,
sensory of my delight.
If I don't read how can I write,
words with pleasing letters?
But if I read when will I write,
and make my poems better?...

There's consolation in knowing
the rise and fall of angles;
the whorled tempests of
alpha and omega.

Liquid vowels
and hiccuping consonants
curiously curled around
the pith of visions.

Silent expressions
circumcised by dots,
paused by chubby tadpoles
that pollinate fertile thoughts
with deliberate moments.

Hyphenated hybrids
capture imagination
in new-sprung, cursive concepts.

But Oh! How I love
the silent ellipses,
the endless music of

The End......

His Name

I forget, sometimes
But the wind clings to his name
Drags it through the trees

And on summer days
It battles with the sun
For a place in my ear
Each syllable stinging my ear drum
Into a child-like shrink

And it nestles in the bronze heights
On the edge of September
Only to fall

Consonants crunch beneath my feet

My heart falls to my wrists
Where it pounds desperately against my skin

I pull at my sleeves
Hold them tight in my fists
And wade through the bronze ocean...
