Premium Member Dec 6 77 Evening Dreams

Evening dreams weave in reds and whites,
Wandering greens and browns,
Slender black hairs fall so gently down,
Jingling sounds of tiny cymbals
Rise as dancing starts
Electing movement as a choice.

Sing Song To Memorial

Sing Song To Memorial

Will sing a song to God who is memorial,
With harps, drums, cymbals and tumbrel;
All things possess;
Nature closely caresses;
He even is also euphoric and ephemeral.

   Boos echo in the canyons of our ears
      Jeers vibrate like cymbals 

   Performers mistake them to heart

   Though they merely honor the primal urges 
      of raspy voices, of bellows-like lungs

Facts Would Assemble and Then Tremble

Facts Would Assemble and Then Tremble

What happened when facts would assemble,
We worried a lot and then started to tremble
And got caught, 
Worrying a lot;
Had been squashed between banging cymbals.

Premium Member Why Does Cowster Get the Drums

Jeepers is playing the clarinet.
We have Sheepster on the cymbals.
Cowster is on the drums.
Why does Cowster always get the drums? Whined rooster.
No one knew the answer, but it is the way it has always been.
Pleasing Cowster.

Premium Member Boiling Over Walt Marie

I find myself searching for the sea;
Floating;

Mavericks break upon the shore
inside;

Cymbals splatter inchoate foam;
Symbols; 

Teahupoo surf behind lowered eyes,
splash in;

Welcome to boiling over nature,
my head.

We Be Jammin

he's a heavy
metal ballerina
without
the tutu

rapidly tip
toeing double
bass drums
accompanied

by cymbals
and snare
snarling
beat to

beat the band
but the music
box never
slowly 

winds down
but abruptly

stops

Maestro
   graceful hands
  baton rises and
         falls

   Violins to chins...
      drums roll
    cymbals crash

Premium Member I Beg To Differ, Please

A literati once told me
    the difference between a peasant
      and a pheasant is only 'H'

  I replied, the difference between
    symbols and cymbals is known only
      by 'a' literati 'ess,' you 'c'

Memories

A memory is a fragile, sacred being
Chained to whatever it pleases -
Music, smells, the coming of spring.

Fleeting as the tender skin of a child
It comes with crashing of cymbals
Yet always manages to escape over the stile…

Leaving you with the empty shell

of a smile.

Premium Member Rolling Waves

Rolling waves crash in Spinning over my cast head Playing a death song Screeching siren echoing Piercing my ill-laden ears I listen, I hear The cymbals of the huge waves Resound their glory The great gravity is brave Conquers in my mind and soul

Premium Member Where Are the Cymbals

Violin music wafts in, so clear and pretty.
A dreamy cloudlike feeling.
Indescribable.

A lively flute perks things up.
She feels like dancing. 
Angelic.

Where is the saxophone?
I hear it instantly.
Jazz!

The drums? The cymbals?
I am smiling now.
Bam. 

Alarm clock goes off.

Lines To Music

Note the difference
in tone
a song, a poem
the flute denotes 
subtle sway
the piano plays
and the harpsichord.
Cymbals clean
and sweet.
Note the joyous mood
and the dancing fools
the children’s laughter.
Note the change
as the magicians rearrange
the cord, the bridge
the end.
Note.

Premium Member Rain

Raindrops play a rhythmic refrain
 Melodies falling from the sky
 Drizzling drumbeats on window pane
 Raindrops play a rhythmic refrain
 Sometimes soft, then thunders again,
 With cymbals crashing from on high
 Raindrops play a rhythmic refrain
 Melodies falling from the sky

Let Everything That Has Breath

Bells and bamboo
Cymbals and tap shoes
Jugs and empty bottles
Tires and engine throttle
Sweaky stairs and rocking chairs
Rustling leaves blown in the breeze
The drip of a drop of water
Rattling of chains
Crashing of waves
A mixture of rain and thunder
The tick of a clock
The click of a lock
A quake that tears assunder

Premium Member Firecracker Plant-The Sound of Color

Millions of magnificent miniature marvels,
shoulder to shoulder, sharing your showy shrub
as rich red rumblings rise from your racy petals.
Like sounds of cymbals you slice the still air,
shimmering in your lace of chiffon, shouting to the world!
Boom! Bang!
Colors bursting in brilliant blasts of 

silence...

Christmas Tidings Fill the Air

Christmas tidings boldly blare
Limp hands raise; taut lips flare
Minstrels and accordions pair
Rite, decorum forthrightly pare
Songs, instruments roundly declare
Strum the harp 'till spindly strings wear
Clang the cymbals revelry to share
Ring the bells no mirth we'll spare
Sing the melody a heartier fare
Loud your anthems fill the air

The Bluebell Concert

Heaven’s orchestra.
The concert begins. 
Symphony played.
Instrumental composition,
Springs violins sounds,
Trumpets call,
The earth rejoices.
Woodwind blows,
Tempo vibrating love.
Dawn chorus! Awakens,
Clashing cymbals,
Bluebells chime.
Beats with poetic rhythm.
The audience watch.
As crescendo of colour,
Blooms.

The Music of the Spheres

When sunrise spreads its beauty
across the waking sky,
morning melodies I hear,
like clashing cymbals in my ear.

God must have an orchestra,
He sends to earth each day.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
His band of angels play.

Listen to the sounds on earth.
It's God's Glory that we hear.
Listen to all earth sing,
the music of the spheres.

Premium Member final destiny

a crashing and thrashing
slamming and jamming
they fit together like lithium batteries in a robot
drummer is smashing the drums
cymbals crash
their eyes meet

forces beyond their control urge them
they are in each other’s arms now
a predestined destiny
a coupling magnified by crashing and thrashing
slamming and jamming
beyond steampunk
final destiny

Slowly Gone

Words, crashing drum beat of life
millions upon millions flow
no recession nor ebb 
Tapping, insistent dissolving
hiss and hum without end
from child, grown, and old
now, silence around the bed
Prelude oh prelude sinking 
silent, waiting, listening
There are children outside
cymbals crashing, 
But here, no song no farewell
but a beat still, slowly
Slowly, gone

Premium Member Sutures

Lightning sutures me
not leaving a single scar;
My smile starts to glow;

To myself I say,
‘Everything will be alright.’
Such a clear cut sign;

Natural cymbals
back up my internal source;
A shove towards peace;

Rebuilt but still tough,
the Sun’s bright after hard rain;
Sound renegade survivor;

Deep down hope keeps us alive,
right into storms we nosedive.

Premium Member Magic

Meet mystique magic
Move mind magnetic


Live lovely laughter
Set sensuous slumber


Note naughty nimble
Charm clashing cymbals


Gain glimpses glowing
Face fancy flowing


Magic musters mood
Grip gathers grand good


Lavish lovely list
Grapple given gist


Brightly blazing blooms
Zesty zigzag zooms
