thunderous drum roll
lightning cymbals vibrating
black band of clouds sing...

Cadmium yellow belles
Cymbals clash pale orange specks
Sun bathes in praise...

Cymbals crash- jars ears
Marching line, loud metal sounds.
Football season starts....

drums
set up
screws and bolts
chrome and  plastic
take up lots of room
play them softly
boom boom
cymbals
drums...

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

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.

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.

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;

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....

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....

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

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'
  ~ as I crashed those cymbals in front of he...

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....

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

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....

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....

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
 
                      - - -...

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...

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 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...

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.

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....

Writing
non-sense
              in
                 melodious
sounds
symbols
                or
                cymbals
noise
all
                around
so
easy    
              upon
              the ear
alone
will
                not shed
                a tear
if
syntax
is lost
          and
prose is 
           brought
near...
